okay the phone thing has gone beyond ‘lol dumb millennial’ to 'this is causing widespread difficulty and paralysis in what i am actually able to do’

Even trying to buy a replacement phone I can’t get done without a phone! Can’t get into my bank account because they want to text me! The people at the fucking phone store asked me for my phone number so I could authenticate a code while I was holding my dead phone in my hand.

This is so fucking Frustrating.
