My flip phone at the family reunion outlasted everyone's smartphones
Back in June at my cousin's place near Spokane, I brought my old Samsung flip phone because I knew the lake house had spotty coverage and I'm stubborn about upgrading. While everyone else was hunting for bars or charging bricks, mine held signal for two days straight and got me through a flat tire call on the back road. Has anyone else kept a dumb phone around for those situations, or am I just hanging onto 2009 too hard?

Did your family actually admit you were right, or did they just mutter about it? A buddy of mine did the same thing on a camping trip in the Cascades, brought his old Nokia while the rest of us fought over the one working outlet in the cabin. He ended up being the only one who could call the ranger station when a branch took out the power line. The rest of us had fancy phones turned into paperweights by day two. He still brings that thing everywhere and honestly nobody gives him grief about it anymore.
