I once annoyed one of my friends in high school while he was trying to write a story/book (I don't remember if he was actually trying to write his own book or if it was just a story). One day, I saw that he was typing a sentence that said something about one of the characters "whipping out his cellphone" and I said "oh, is that what we're calling it now". I would then occasionally look back at his story without actually reading anything and laugh a little. At first he thought it was funny but at some point he started getting annoyed and kept telling me to stop.
Oh you're me. Where have you been?
