So many countries, and instead of uniting and celebrating our differences and diversity, we make gadgets with incompatible plugs. Seriously, what is WITH this world and its lack of proper adaptors??

I had to charge my phone in my car this morning, and the charger in there is the actual pits. It’d be more accurate to call it a ‘maintainer’, because the battery percentage doesn’t actually go up while my phone is plugged in. It just doesn’t go down. I wondered if it’s auto electrical problem, and had half a mind to drop in for car mechanic services. Ringwood wasn’t really on my way home, though. This could be a sign of something much worse, or it could just be that my car is bad at charging things. I could also ask them why the world is such a broken place, where you can’t get an adaptor for an American charger at short notice, but I don’t think they’d have an answer for that. Just the car thing, then.

Seriously, though, there’s a bunch of stuff about my car that I just do not like. It might have passed a roadworthy certificate test, but there’s no ‘speedy charger’ test. There should be, but there isn’t. There should also be a test for the seat noticing when a human is sitting in it, or a medium-sized bag. It beeps at me when it detects weight there without a seatbelt being fastened, completely forgetting that if that WAS a person, that person is under five kilos, a baby, and should thus be in the back strapped into a car seat anyway, so…who’s the clever one now, ya stupid vehicle?

It’s me. I know more than you. And I’d prove it if I could get a properly comprehensive log book service. Ringwood is just a bit too out of my way today, especially when I don’t have my phone charged enough for maps, so I guess it’s not to be. Not today.
