It might be a conspiracy!

I am having issues with my car and my phone. 

First off the phone - I still use an LG "Chocolate" phone from the early days.  I call it my "Badge of Honor" - not giving into the new stuff.  It has quit working many times.  I thought for sure it had died in the Elk Accident and had even gone to the Verizon store to pick out a new IPhone.  They didn't have the one I wanted in stock and before I could go to the next store, the phone started working again.  Now it won't keep a charge.  I could not get it to charge over the weekend and was going to start using another dinosaur phone until my upgrade kicks in (another story).  Well guess what - yesterday it charged!  So I'll keep limping along until March 29th.

Next the car - there is a sensor in the driver door that if you don't shut it just so - you get the continual "beeping" that the driver door is ajar.  It's even more annoying when you get out of the car, shut the door, lock it and get the double beep - which means the door is ajar.  Sometimes it has taken me 10 times to get the door to shut without double beeping at me.  We had this fixed while it was still under warranty - and then took it back last week - I had had enough!  Even though it was a problem they supposedly fixed - now no warranty to cover it - I was not going to pay to have it fixed. I would just deal with it.  Well after some stern talking to the Edge and deciding to look for a new car - guess what....the double beeping has been at a minmum this week to where it is bearable. 

It is a conspiracy - my phone and my car do not want me to get rid of them. 

They irritate me for awhile and then start behaving! I'm a sucker for sticking with them!
