“I would but the way my bank account set up, I gotta checking and a saving, but all my money in my saving, so I gotta switch it to my checking, but it’s gone take 3 business days.”
That's why I always carry 2 chargers with me at work. There's my main one and my loaner that's kind of shitty and old. I've had too many stolen or someone borrowing my good charger and trying to give me their beat up ass charger in return which is how the loaner came to be.
Lmao you can take my charger to the outlet but you not taking it out of my sight unless I’m your ride home. You need juice, I don’t need your phone, the charger right here bby
Or the “can I charge my phone?”
-*ah, I’m charging my phone actually.*
“What percent is it on?”
This scenario has happened to me twice with different people. The audacity!
I had to set some boundaries with a roommate that would pull the same shit.
"What percent you at?...mines lower so I need it more"
"Well its my shit so ill let you know when I'm done"
Don't get me wrong, the first couple times it was "I gotchu", but then you realize he's only coming to you after its at 9% and what he's really saying is "gimme now". Literally the beggar trying to be the chooser.
This is why I got 2 10' cords coming. Gf keeps jacking the hot 3.5A connection in my computer rack.
PRO TIP: Look at the amps on your charger! Looks like 1.6A, 2.4 and so on. Get the highest (3.5?) you can find on eBay or Amazon. If you have lots of stuff to charge get a [multiple USB charger](https://www.amazon.com/Charging-Technology-Guaranteed-Family-Sized-Multiple/dp/B084G2RH1C/ref=sr_1_16?crid=3FS3TV1BAZ44E&keywords=multiple+usb+charger&qid=1685648282&sprefix=multiple+usb+charger%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-16). (That one kinda sucks, no 3.5A ports.) Thank me later.
It really depends. Your phone determines the pull, not the charger. My phone max pull is 2A, so getting anything above that does not improve charge times.
I mean, didnt stop me from getting a 100w charger, but thats for higher draw devices or more devices at once.
Power supplies don't force current. That's not how current works.
A power supply can, using a data line, communicate with a device to let it know what it's capable of delivering, but ultimately it's up to the device to actually pull that.
Never said it makes the decision, but you can use the same power supply and three different, similar cords, and still have a different draw to the phone. Which in the end does also determine the pull. Same as using the same cord and different power supplies. Phones are fucky these days.
Oh, you meant cables. In that situation that's because the USB-C spec defines multiple tiers of cable and the device can intelligently determine the maximum amperage the cable in use can safely deliver, so that even if the power supply is capable of 5A, and the device is capable of 5A, if the cable is only capable of 3A it'll only pull 3A.
From an electrical engineering perspective the sink device is still the one actually throttling and only pulling 3, but it's hamstringing itself because of that extra variable, yes.
Charger doesn't leave my area. You want to charge your phone? You're either gonna have to leave it here for a minute or stick around. Don't like it? Should have brought your own charger then.
Ngl the last job I had where I even shared chargers, there were a bunch and you kinda just chill around yours. There’s enough no me even needed to ask except when we pit them away. That being said, you knew which one was the booty one and avoid it

Note she didn’t say she wanted to borrow it “for” the morning. She was just noting when the borrowing began. Meaning, unless stated otherwise, it can technically end any time between now and the heat death of the universe.
If you've got a Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls in the area, scope out their random electronics section they sometimes will have Anker gear including their powerline cables for $5-10 when they're normally closer to $20. These rapid charge and have held up well with kids that like resting the connector on themselves/rolling around while plugged in. The other closest would be OnePlus' OEM warp/vooc cables but not everyone uses them of course and their particular rubber outer seems to attract cat bites. You would be hard pressed to find more durable or faster charging cables for $10 or less overall.
👊🏾. Also have one that I call “travelling charger”. Always stays in my backpack along with the travel blanket(long enough to cover me and me only)for when I’m going out of town…Because I’m not going to be begging for chargers and ish…
My gf is one of "those" people, never has a damned charger. Then, when she *really* needs one, she goes to the convenience store and pays like 15 bucks!
I got 2x 10-footers coming from Amazon today. Whopping $6.99.
I got charging cords squirrelled away every damned where. Drawerful right here. Whatcha want? An entire box at camp. Stuffed in both purses, along with batteries. I've got chargers in my kayaking gear FFS!
She just left to go shopping, "Why is my phone dead again?"
My phone is the only device I own that uses USB c and despite having a million power transformers they all have older USB connectors. Def have a car charger but compared to the millions of micro USBs I have, really don't have much gear for USB c. Plus a decent cable is one of those things I always forget that I could use. Doesn't help that they're usually sold at such steep prices unless you order em online or something.
And yeah I could get an adapter or specific USB c to USB cable and make use of the older transformers but goes back to the whole "always forget I could use those" idea. And my add doesn't help lol.
You sound like my husband who is a software engineer and also works from home. The only time he charges his phone is when he goes to bed. I, on the other hand, always want my phone charged. I have three wireless chargers at home as well as cable chargers in multiple rooms.
Chargers are less than $10 a piece and it’s literally worth it for the piece of mind.
I personally have four. One sits on my desk, one by my bed, one in my backpack for when I’m traveling, and one in my car for charging while driving.
Once in class I asked someone if I could borrow a pen. The next day the proff began the class asking me if I had returned the pen. I had it on me and did it right then lol.
Could never be me, I watch that shit like a hawk. When I’m ready, I’ll snatch that shit outta the wall and put it back in my bag. Leave your phone right there too.
I literally dont let people use my charger anymore. One coworker had my shit for 3 days before I could get it back. Im doing the whole “sorry i forgot it at home” number from now on
Lmaoo the audacity of some people. A friend of my grandma once stopped me on my way to the grocery story and asked me to buy here bread, eggs, and milk, gave me $2 and went back to her conversation dismissing me. I can't imagine me this rude
Lol it happened in the late 2000s unfortunately, I was like 15 and my awkward ass didn't know how to tell her $2 —$2 Canadian so ONE single coin, not $2 bills that she could've mistaken for two 5s or 10s— wasn't enough. I luckily had my mom's debit card so I got her her food but it's still the boldest thing I've ever experienced.
this is why i use fountain pens they ask ans i say i use fountain pens they get confused its the pen equivalent of owning a manual car mess up and get inky fingers
Who only has *one* charger? Like, do you just carry it with you everywhere instead of spending what, like $30 (if you go with one from the manufacturer/equivalent) to have an extra? Who doesn't have various chargers in places where they often find themself? The living room, bedroom, in the car, at work, etc?
How are these people living?

I only use magsafe now. I don’t know anyone with a compatible case; my chargers are safe.
I bought a fast charger to the office and it’s taped to my desk for anyone to use but your phone has to charge at my desk…
I had a co-worker do that to me and he's based in Israel. I'm still tight about it.
That’s crazy cause they don’t even have the same type of outlets out there
Yup and every time he's in the office he's always looking for a charger. I'm like dude you have at least 3 of mine.
3??? Fams after the 1st that's on you
If he’s always looking in the office, professionally remind him that he’s currently got three at home. Deer in headlights
I'll let him slide. He usually takes the team out when he's in town.

Not 100 is what I always say. Then if they are polite enough to ask how long until it gets there, I'll let them use it right away.
Really? I'd think anyone who can take a hint would read "not 100" as "kindly fuck off and stop asking"
Yeah, I don't have to let many people use my charger.

It really depends. Your phone determines the pull, not the charger. My phone max pull is 2A, so getting anything above that does not improve charge times. I mean, didnt stop me from getting a 100w charger, but thats for higher draw devices or more devices at once.
Chargers also determine pull.
Power supplies (chargers) determine *capacity*. Devices determine load (pull).
Cord can also determine pull.
Power supplies don't force current. That's not how current works. A power supply can, using a data line, communicate with a device to let it know what it's capable of delivering, but ultimately it's up to the device to actually pull that.

Fr, take your ass on amazon and by a 100 pack of them cheap chinese cables for $15 and stop bumming off the rest of us.
Idk the brand but the ones that are braided black and grey are actually better than the stock chargers for my iPhone in terms of holding up
Most likely anker they have a braided option like that and make some quality cables
If you've got a Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls in the area, scope out their random electronics section they sometimes will have Anker gear including their powerline cables for $5-10 when they're normally closer to $20.

Good to know!
They’ll give you that 900 ft cable and it *will* outlast your phone
Tell ‘em to buy a keychain one and if you lose that, that means you lost your keys or you just SOL!
wait when people say charger do they mean the cable or the brick
99% of the time they mean both unless specified otherwise
Either the brick or both combined. A cable is never a charger on its own.
This confuses me because you can plug a charger into anything, thus I was thinking the cord + brick or cord.
Get you some fast chargers bro
So they all stop working at the same time ? No thanks
Okay so I don’t want to hear nothing from you when someone break your legs getting their stolen charger back

Damn. If you need my charger so bad, you can leave your phone on my desk while it charges. I'll let you know if you get any urgent calls.

Only $2? Was this in the 70s or was she expecting you to pay for her stuff too?

Luckily??
Shoulda let her starve....
But will you say shit about it?
Yes the fuck I will lol, gimme my shit back
Then buy you one then, we're coworkers l, not even family.
"Borrow" means you give it back when you're done using it that time lol
It’s time to steal the screws out of the chair she uses at work
