Pet Peeve: Phone Batteries

Yes, I know you have to charge them, but did you ever know that that amount of time that a telephone battery remains charged is directly proportional not just to the amount of time you use the phone (and how dumb is that - the more you need to talk, the more you need the battery, so why is that the time it goes dead!), but also to the amount of distance you are from the charger.

It's true - honest! So if you forget the charger at home one day - that's the day everyone will call...until you are driving home with no phone at all.

Yes, phone batteries and the impossibly short time they last is yet another of my pet peeves!
