Dumb ass moment of the day*

*Just not today.


The first time I came home to an empty house after Chebbar started working again, I quickly changed my clothes, laced up my sneaks, and hit the road for a walk.  I haven't walked alone in aaaaages, so it was the first time I was giving my poor man's wannabe iPhone beloved iPod Touch a proper go.  I stuck one ear bud in my ear, shoved the other one down my shirt (they're offset for some reason, so one cord is longer than the other, yet not long enough that the second ear bud can be tucked in a pocket), and gently cradled my iTouch in the pouch pocket of my hoody.

I had barely made it three steps before the song changed.  I didn't really think much of it, assuming that the song was over.  Three more steps, and it happened again.  Three MORE steps, aaaaand again.

That's weird: I don't recall the iPod having a preview feature...

I pulled it out of my pocket, but it looked the same as it had before I put it IN my pocket - nothing had changed setting-wise.  The whole time I had it in my hand, it was fine.  I shrugged, put it back in my pocket, and...

...three steps later, IT DID IT AGAIN.

"Okay, now you're just FUCKING with me," I may have muttered thought.  I pulled it out of my pocket again and watched, waiting to see if I could catch it changing.  5 seconds; 10 seconds; 15 seconds; 30 seconds... nope.  Exasperated (considering I hadn't made it out of the damned parking lot), I shoved it BACK into my pocket and started off.

It did it again.

At this point I was ready to scream.  I pulled it out of my pocket and looked AGAIN (don't ask me what I thought I'd see the eleventeenth time around).  It wasn't doing it while I held it: only when it was in my pocket.

I shook it.

It changed the damned song.

Guess which DUMB ASS didn't realize there was a "shake to shuffle" feature?  Christ on a bike.
