They are even worse over there. Everyone customizes their phone and adds stickers. Stealing phones is also a legit pastime. If you take your eyes off your phone, which custom requires you to put on the table in front of you as you sit down, it’s been stolen. So pathetic!
I will never understand the why for all the gadgets. There are too many things in my life that are way more important than a phone or electronic device.
I do carry a cell phone in my purse right next to my cc permit and a weapon whenever I leave home. All are just in case of emergency though. Guess I’m just getting old.
