I just heard a phone buzz.

I am alone in my room, scrolling Mumsnet. I just heard a buzz like a notification but I was on my phone and it wasn't mine. Then it happened again very soon after. Couldn't be mine.

Neither of my DC have phones, too young. The older has an ipad, in her room across the hall. It couldn't have been that because it's off - she forgets to charge it.

DH is downstairs, his phone is charging in the kitchen, I walked past it 10 mins ago.

Am I so addicted to my phone that I am hearing notification vibrations?! Or should I be looking for some miscellaneous phone in this roomConfused

Could be something running out of battery as some things do emit a sound to alert you

I have a flat phone. Smart phone, apparently. I have no idea how it works. I can swipe up, down and even sideways. It means nothing. I am constantly reprimanded, because I forget to take it with me. "what's the point of having a mobile if you don't take it with you?" thing. I don't actually care. I do not have a husband, that I need to check on, constantly. I live on my own, very happily. I'm in charge. If I don't want to cook, I don't. If I want to vacuum, I do. Or, I don't. . Usually, I don't. My son (!!!! a man bloke thing) tells me that I'm in danger of "safeguarding". Apparently, I am not fulfilling something or other. Do I care? Am I bovvered? No. I pay my way, I'm up to date with everything. I have no debt worth mentioning. I am a FREE woman!! I also do not need to check the bloke's phone. I have no bloke, thankfully. Sadly, if you need to be checking his phone, perhaps, possibly, you should also not have a bloke? Just a thought

Smoke alarm? Fire alarm?

Maybe it is a ghost.

Yes. Yes. Yes SpiderinaWingMirror.
Get it all ready.

Crikey. I am embarrassed and upset to consideR giving anyone such advice at what could be nothing at all.

Getting your ducks in a row Don’t. I’m doing a Boris - a U turn.
Go with the faith.

But set a time to ask him directly ... “do you have a second phone?”
Oh my. Too early in the morning for me to be objective.

You're so addicted that you can hear a mythical phone. I do the same 😂
