Aibu to be upset my husband this morning for being the soppy thing that he is. The numpty put my phone on charge last night after I fell asleep and swiped away all my apps(coz he's a phone natzi) and he closed down the woo thread I was reading!! I spent most of my day scaring the pants of myself and still had loads left to read so I left the app running and now he's swiped it away it's gone and I can't find it!!

Tell him to stay off your phone.

MadHattersWineParty · 29/11/2016 07:05

What's 'soppy' about that?!

SmellySphinx · 29/11/2016 07:06

Try searching "The Unexplained" section in MN

Why on earth did he swipe away all your apps?

SillyMoomin · 29/11/2016 07:11

Kind of him to put your phone on charge- but why would that mean he has to open the phone and swipe away everything? Confused

Half kindness. Half weirdness

bloodymaria · 29/11/2016 07:16

Incompetent maybe, not soppy!

Ahickiefromkinickie · 29/11/2016 07:18

Is it an iPhone? Check your history, the thread link will be in there.

It's nice of him to charge your phone, that is soppy Smile

Believeitornot · 29/11/2016 07:19

Soppy? Hmm

Ahickiefromkinickie · 29/11/2016 07:20

I think some people like clearing apps away as it means they aren't using battery.

Plus it feels like a clean slate.

Palomb · 29/11/2016 07:21

Sounds controlling and nosey more than soppy. Tell him to leave your phone alone!

53rdAndBird · 29/11/2016 07:22

Dormant apps don't use battery.

Ahickiefromkinickie · 29/11/2016 07:25

53 i'm not sure if they do or not, but I know a few ppl who like clearing away apps for that reason.

user1469914265 · 29/11/2016 07:26

Natzi?

sooperdooper · 29/11/2016 07:27

Bloody nosey and annoying more like, sounds like putting it on charge was an excuse to snoop around on your phone, tell him to leave it alone!

Sunnysky2016 · 29/11/2016 07:29

I'm reading that, it's in this thread- how do I link it for you......?

ApollO88 · 29/11/2016 07:49

This post was meant in jest everyone. He's in no way controlling. He works for a phone company and is always tinkering with my phone. It's our first year wedding anniversary tomorrow and I love these little quirky things he does. It's more that I know exactly the thought process he had
'Apollo fell asleep reading her phone. She hasn't put it on charge. I bet she has a thousands apps open again. •sigh• swipe swipe swipe. All clean. Fixed it for her'

I believe "soppy" can be used in the sense of "daft". It might be a regional thing. My nan was a Londoner and if you did anything daft she'd call you a soppy date.

gleam · 29/11/2016 07:52

Bloody annoying.

Mindtrope · 29/11/2016 07:54

Quirky now, in 10 years infuriating.

00100001 · 29/11/2016 07:55

it wasn't him...

It was the ghost! 👻👻👻👻👻👻

KeyserSophie · 29/11/2016 07:56

Dormant apps don't use battery.

They can - if you leave Pokemon Go or Google Maps on in the background they suck battery. You can almost see it going down. Maybe that's because they're tracking location constantly though

OnionKnight · 29/11/2016 07:56

Apps in the background do not use battery, killing them and the re-loading them uses battery Wink

53rdAndBird · 29/11/2016 07:57

I love these little quirky things he does.

You're more patient than me! I'd go ballistic if my husband went round closing apps on my phone, especially when I was in the middle of reading something. Does he take bookmarks out of books to make them look neater, too? Grin

53rdAndBird · 29/11/2016 07:59

Yeah, anything that's actively using location services will drain your battery. But dormant apps just sitting there in the background won't. You'll use more battery by swiping them all closed, then reopening them when you want to look at things.

Lweji · 29/11/2016 08:00

This is a good time to show him that tinkering with your phone is not a good idea.
Charging it, ok. Anything else, no.
