I cried at work today...

Have you ever broken into tears from repressing your feelings for too long?

Motion charger it said...

I examined the box and read the description. I was intrigued. What could this be? I took my blade and sliced the box open. I could see that the contents fit the description, but still didn't quite understand what kind of gadget it could be...

My colleagues were all typing away to themselves. "Wearable motion charger", I said out loud. Mary looked up from her desk and back down again. I removed the product from the box and continued reading. "Exercise with Ampy. Charge your phone with your own energy". Now they were listening. "What do you do to charge it?", asked Ronan.

That's when I broke.

I couldn't hold it in any longer as I answered, "you run!". My colleagues watched as I broke into tears.

I enjoy running as much as the next person (not very much), and so this piece of technology for charging your phone while you exercise had me hysterical.

If I really think about it I can see a lot of merit to a product like this, creating incentives to exercise in order to charge your phone, despite these devices already in existence without the requirement of motion. But if there's one thing you should know about me if we are friends it's that I am very easily amused.

I hope the click bait didn't disappoint.

I. Hate. Running. I'd give up my phone if if running became the only means of charging it. Thankfully it hasn't come to that...yet.

LOL. I had a thought like this too. What if our nanny states decided to clamp down on obesity by making exercise obligatory for use of day to day gadgets 😂

... Scary thought lol

LOL! There was a time that I would have loved the idea of running to charge a battery...that time has passed, haha! Bike riding, now that I could do ;) And unless you have a treadmill, there is up to five months of the year where I am in NY that running would be particularly unpleasant ;)

I need to get back into running myself so maybe this is a little push lol.

That's a good way to see it ;) For me it would be a great incentive to have a device that worked for any type of exercise...besides running lol! I ran cross country in high school, up to ten miles a day for practice, and I continued it on my own through college..super hard on your knees, especially if you run on the road or black top etc.

Whahahahahaha! My phone battery will never charge.

LOL!

Hahaha ! My phone will be dead all the time ! Lol !😂😆

It actually looks very cool! :)

that's so cool!! I want one!

I am thinking it might be useful in an apocalyptic situation when there's no electricity....hmmm lol

Oh gosh. Give me one for cycling, and I'll be fine. No running please!

Flagged as clickbait :-P

LOL. I'm sorry you can't looking for a story of misery and found joy instead 😂

Such a let down 😜
