Robbers Return Man's Cell Phone After Realizing It Was An Android
Modern society is not designed with Android users in mind.

Modern society is not designed with Android users in mind. iPhones are the default, and iPhone users aren’t shy about making that fact known, often bullying their Android-owning friends for things like not having iMessage and thus having the dreaded green text bubbles in conversations, although Apple is introducing RCS support next year which will hopefully improve iPhone-Android relations.
Now, Android users can’t even get robbed like the rest of us, as the husband of one DC-based Uber Eats driver recently discovered after thieves returned his phone because it wasn’t an iPhone. According to a woman who asked not to be identified, two masked men with guns robbed her husband as he was parking their car.
She told WJLA, "As soon as he parked the car two masked gentlemen came up to him, armed. They robbed him, took everything he had in his pockets, took the keys to my truck and got in and pulled off.”
She added that they initially took his phone before returning it, telling reporters, "They basically looked at that phone and was like 'Oh, that's an Android? We don't want this. I thought it was an iPhone.'"
The r/Android subreddit had a field day with the story, with the top comment offering a suggestion for an alternative headline: "Compared to iPhones, Android phones appear to be theft-proof." Honestly, this is a better advertisement for Android phones than anything a marketing team could come up with. Although it’s worth noting, as one commenter did, that the claim that the thieves returned the phone came from the wife, rather than the thieves themselves - for all we know, they returned the phone because they didn’t want to be tracked. But still, suspending one’s disbelief is fun every once in a while, no?

Fortunately, today’s example isn’t disturbing, just unusual.

TikToker Katie Kate Katelynn has gone viral for her video in which she jokingly refers to herself as a live-in nanny for her ex-husband and his new wife. The video shows a day in her life, which includes helping her children get ready for school and taking them to school, as well as joking with her ex’s new wife about how “she should leave him for me.” Her day also includes laundry, making seemingly endless beds, working from home and taking her kids out to watch the sunset.

While people on Twitter were freaking out about the opening line - that this woman is a live-in nanny for her own kids - it’s tongue-in-cheek and not that serious. Her living situation is unusual however; she lives with her new partner alongside her ex and his new wife in different homes on the same property, with the goal of making co-parenting as stress-free as possible.

Unfortunately, in a more recent video, Katie revealed that she has since moved out to her old home 30 minutes away. She explains that after “multiple times to get on the same page including mediation and setting firm boundaries, we are now back home.” She added that by continuing to stay, she was “enabling a behavior I couldn’t stand by,” and that she leaves knowing that she did her best at trying to give her kids “a shared space with all four parents under one roof.”
While commenters on Twitter were fairly ruthless - although most were just baffled that she put freshly washed rugs onto the laundromat floor - commenters on TikTok were a lot more supportive and commended Katie for trying to co-parent in a way that prioritized her children. Even more, people were just relieved that she wasn’t actually a live-in nanny for her ex and his new wife. Fair enough!
