I have always had an Android phone, while my wife has had iPhones. Whenever one of the kids got old enough to get their own phone, they inherited hers and gave her an excuse to get a new iPhone. (Meanwhile I just traded mine in.)

The unintentional result is that she can never find a charging cable or block for her phone because the kids keep taking them (and inevitably somehow breaking them), while I have a surplus of ways to charge my own. And also the kids' batteries are always low, because they can't figure out how to ration screen use with an old-ass worn out battery.

So everyone else in the house is always squabbling about who took the charger, while I rarely see my phone dip below 50%. They hate it SO MUCH when I point this out. I swear I try not to smirk when I do.

I went to visit my in-laws one winter and my Samsung charging block turned up missing. I'm the only non-Apple phone in the family. I'd be mad, but I'm sure someone needed it more than me.
