Pacifiers. For a while I watched dash cam video from police car chases. I'm over it now, but one interesting thing frequently happens: officers yank the drivers out, get them on the ground and cuff them. In most cases, the drivers are yelling about their phone. "My phone!" "My phone!" Cars is wrecked, they've got knees pressing them into the dirt, frequently injured, facing all manner of charges, and the one thing they care about it some phone.
After sitting in the patrol car for a quite while, some officer opens the door to speak with them. Immediately: "Can I get my phone??"
Sometimes they'll still have a phone after being cuffed and detained. They will nearly dislocate joints to thumb their phones continuously while cuffed. They will not stop until someone takes it.
I don't know...
