    I don’t think I could give them connection as my cell phone is not nearly extraordinary. I wish it were at least ordinary, but not even that.

    • ShadowSplicer says:

      Meh, my cell phone dies every 12 hours unless charged.

      • la conejita says:

        Mine too, except it also dies after a 10 minute conversation. Even when I haven’t finished that conversation, it will end it for me.

        • ShadowSplicer says:

          If I talk or not, my cell dies in 10-12 hours! I could talk for 2 or 3 hours, and the battery would still have the same time left!

        • Bran says:

          our cellphones must of been seperated at birth

          • paws4thot says:

            It sounds like all 3 of you need new batteries.

            When/if you get them, for best battery life, put the phone on charge for 12 hours, then drain it until the battery is as flat as you can get it, then charge it again.

            Now, try and avoid putting it on charge until you start getting the “low charge” warning.

            • paws4thot says:

              Edit Para 2 – “…then charge for 12 hours it again.”

            • Droll not Troll says:

              Whoa! I wouldn’t go along with “as flat as you can get it”. Below a certain voltage, this can damage batteries if you do this with a load on them. Preferably, use a voltmeter (or get someone who knows how) and stop when the reading is down to about 1 volt per cell. This is for NiCd or NiMH.
              Definitely don’t fully discharge a Lithium ion battery! They don’t like it.

              • Droll not Troll says:

                I just realised you folks are in winter right now. Are your phones cold- below 60F? The batteries don’t like being too cold.

                • paws4thot says:

                  Modern handsets (anything made in the last 7 or 8 years) won’t let you discharge enough to drain the cells to 0V; they’ll stop you at a safe for the cells level (usually by turning the phone off and refusing to let you turn it back on).

            • Kame09 says:

              Using a hammer is the quickest way to get it as flat as possible.

            • Bran says:

              Actually it just seems to be the service provider for mine, as every single phone I’ve had from them does this, and the people I know who have also bought their phones. But seeing as I’m on a family plan and I got my phone for free…the price is right.

              • la conejita says:

                My problem is the battery but I haven’t gotten another one because I renew my contract next month and will qualify for a new phone. Dare I say it, an Extraordinary New Phone!

  2. Madness says:

    I hate it when my companion mind resists rescue. Doesn’t it understand what the red lamp means?

  3. JohnB says:

    I’d like to see the lighting of a buzzer.

  4. JohnB says:

    I will NOT settle for connection from a telephone that is only “nearly extraordinary”! Give me extraordinary, or give me death!

  5. el turbo taco says:

    I wish I could participate on the internet :(

  6. frog prince says:

    those eastern philosophies are full of wisdom indeed

  7. dr handle says:

    “Companion mind” – is this referring to the voices in my head? Because I make a point of not listening to them. Especially the shrill one that keeps telling me it’s time to dig up the automatics, and MAKE THEM PAY.

  8. PoodleGroomer says:

    The direction of companion mind should salivate stimulus of the ringing bell.

  9. Sarge says:

    I think I can translate this one from Engrish to English.

    “In case of an emergency, please be prepared to cooperate with emergency services personnel when the red light is lit, or when the buzzer sounds. You can communicate with an emergency services officer through the nearby special-purpose phone line. Thank you for your co-operation.”

    Anyone out there able to translate the Kanji?

  10. lexan D says:

    -The direction of companion mind should cooperate with rescue at lighting of a red lamp-
    That is so cool! Almost poetic, would be a really good as the beginning of the second paragraph in a novel.
    Or at least I think so.

  11. Oren Otter says:

    So this are being in red lamp district?

  12. Droll not Troll says:

    If I had a nearly extraordinary telephone, maybe I could phone an alien and propose marriage.

  13. Cal Jones says:

    I submitted this back in September – it was outside a service station disabled toilet in Japan. I guess it’s something to do with a panic button, but who really knows?

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Post FTW!
      The location would seem to explain it. I’m guessing the phone is there in case a disabled person has a sudden problem.

    • Sibilance says:

      Makes perfect sense, then. When I was wheeling my mom around in Japan last summer, the bathrooms for the disabled had panic/call buttons. Nursing homes and hospitals have them as standard requirements in the USA as well.

    • dr handle says:

      All public toilets should have an emergency button that you can push, for example, when you realise that there’s no paper, or the damned thing won’t flush.

  15. jinxed says:

    Oh. My. Gosh! Someone ran over my iPhone….oh wait, it’s just my iPad.

  16. f-f-f-fail master says:

    The closer it gets to extraordinary, the farther from an iPhone it is.
