Have you been in such Awkward Situation !

Hi AKP that was nice one but really embarrassing for your cousin.Sometimes seeing new things people get confused like security gaurd who told phone a calculator.. But why he carried it to a theater its a mystery.I feel he was definitely showing off that he has the latest model & the costlier one but could not impressed security gaurd i suppose ha ha ha

hehe.. yep samsung tab is too big to be called a mobile phone. its a bit of a luxury though. I really like sony phones :)

a calculator lol Your cousin must of felt so embarrased I can't recall any arkward situation I've been in at the moment

haha okay now that was really funny. even if your cousin brought a calculator with him in the cinema, it was not the guard's task to question it. what if he came from a calculus exam? hehehe :D i do not like such. I am okay with the size of the screen of the galaxy s3. i could not handle something bigger than that. even if galaxy note 2 was better in s3, i chose s3 because to me it was just the right size. :D

Hahahaha!!!! What an expensive calculator that is!!! I wanted to buy that Samsung Galaxy Tab but now I'm having second thoughts about it. LOL How can that security guard mistook it for a calculator? I mean, that Samsung galaxy tab is a touch screen thingamajig right? And calculators have buttons to pressed. I guess the security guard was outdated on electronic gadgets. One funny situation came into my mind although it's not something like what happened to you. It was when we were in Singapore and we were exiting from an MRT station. One of my co-workers who were always behind us because she reaaaallllyyy takes her time walking, was the last one to tap her card into the machine. We noticed she wasn't behind us anymore and when we looked back, she was desperately searching her bags for something and that turned out to be her missing card! She searched for a long time which made us irritated and frustrated because she was always forgetful like that. Two of my co-workers sat down in one corner of the station in frustration and tiredness while I had the fun of taking a picture of the desperate co-worker left behind. One of us in the meantime was with her telling her to ask the assistance of Passenger Service on what to do with a lost card. We were like that for a few minutes and then voila! The desperate co-worker thought of searching in her pockets and there it was, the missing card! We couldn't believe it! We just laughed but annoyed at the same time. It became one of the funny stories to tell from our Singapore trip. Cheers.

Well, I think that is not funny.What is funnier is when he is carrying the wireless landline phone. For me, a cheaper mobile will do because what matters most is you can reach whom you want to talk to and it is not so hurting when you lost it.

hi akp mp as i do not own a cell p hone or ipod or iphone as I cannot afford those expensive electronic things much as I might like to own a good cell phone, those are for people who have enough money to buy the latest toy.for me I have only a landline phone for 7 dollars a month. being older and poorer I miss out but truly I really do not miss those electronic gadgets all that much.I do not have a small screen mobile either. guess I am missing out on the latest technology here. I really would like to have a cell phone for emergencies sakes but the plans make them unaffordable for a senior citizeb on social security.,I am not against those mobiles it is just that I have not got the money to buy one myself.

Hello my friend. Well this is actually interesting and funny. I am saying that because it's like a deja vu. You do remember that phones were bigger before, then started getting smaller, then they got bigger again with video becoming an option on them, then small again and so on and so forth. I for one like small to medium phones, so no thanks, not tablet or big touch screen for me. I prefer the phone for the phone functions, and maybe radio, camera for fast photos - when good quality is not needed and loads of room for number entering - in 2 words - business class phones - not fancy free phones :).

I prefer cell phone with smaller screen aside from it's cute and very handy you can easily slide it in your pocket.Having a bigger screen as you said your friend had 7 in. wow that's too big for me.Yeah it's like calculator already so you need a carrying case for it because it's too big for your pocket. Maybe your friend wants to impress you for having such an expensive cell.

There's no reason to feel awkward continuously. It's his like. So be it. And besides it's expensive so be proud you have it. It's a funny situation...

Hahaha! I wanted to buy Samsung Galaxy, but after reading this post I think I will not buy it ever! I have never been in such situation, but if I would be in your cousin's shoes, I'd be embarrassed, or sour-grape lang "that security guard is just envy I'm high-tech!"

Hi,akp100. That's very funny. I have many awkward situations,and aia don't know why I have so many times. Once ,I was working,there came a person and he was waitting for my boss.My boss was very busy,so he waited a long time,then I went upstairs to get something,when I get down,I did't see him,so I speak loudly to my colleague"is the guy leave,I feel he so pity,because he have to wait a long long time",Then my colleague said nothing,and then! I saw the person,he just sat there,I did't see him. Oh my god,I feel so awkward that I just want to go back to the upstairs. That's my story,let's share.

It is interesting , but I dont think your cousin need to feeling awkward . just explain this to guard is ok. The guard is only running his responsibility and I also think he is professional .

Hi, I have very simple mobile so it doesn't has big screen. But my son has Samsung galaxy mobile which has big screen and is very costly. but he never been in awkward position like your friend.

Hi. akp100. Your cousin is better than me, I know I could never bring a mobile inside of a movie theater. To have it lost or stolen would be very miserable. I hope that your cousin was not showing off at all. I have never been in am awkward situation as this one before.

I am fine with my nokia small screen cell as i cant carry a big cell in my pockets. Take care.

Nope i have never been such instances ... there was this friend of mine who struggled a lot to pick a call in his new mobile in my college! Our annoyance added to his inability to pick the call at the earliest. As of big screen mobiles ... my pockets are too small for those kind

Your cousin should have just placed the brick over his ears and tell him straight in the face it is a phone, then put in in front of his face and say it is a mirror, and finally tell him, yes...it is also a calculator. It is a nice piece of equipment. I wonder what the security guard will called a iPad?

Haha! That was funny. He should have had a bag or something. A gadget like that is easy on the eyes so he should be cautious all the time. :) Lol. The guard was funny. I thought he was going to tell him not to bring the gadget inside the theater 'cause you know, movie piracy. I didn't expect the calculator remark at all. Haha. No, I haven't. My mobile is small and it is also not touch screen. I'm not into expensive gadgets. :)
