PUKE Code, oh shnap!

By In Uncategorized

Okiedokie.
Lemme set a couple things straight. So I got this friend, I'll call her T.
T has an iPhone (lucky bum) and she puts a lock on it so whenever I turn it on, I have to put in a code, which I don't know 😀
So I was toying around with my phone and noticed I could put a lock on my phone too 😀
I was like "SHWEET. IMMA TORTURE T WITH MAH PIN 8D"
So I set a pin on it. Which is the birthday of uh…someone special 😀 (DON'T YOU JUDGE ME D:<)

So I was playing tennis today with T, and two other friends, A and G. (TAG. lol)
I arrived at the courts with G and I went off battling the practice board (I hit like 10 balls over the fence D:) while G was being taught by her dad.
She gets frustrated with how her dad always wants to teach her but…oh gosh. Her dad is way better than her.
…a rock is way better than her.

30 minutes later, T and A came together and I died in a corner because battling a practice board is hard work :3
T never planned on playing tennis, so she sat with me while listening to her iPhone.
After a while, being nearly killed by G's horrible tennis serves a few times, I grabbed T's phone and tried guessing the code.
Then I gave her my phone to guess the code to mine ;D

T: "…okay! 😀 -takes phone-
-tap-
wrong.
-tap-
wrong.
-tap-
wrong
-tap-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

Me: "What'd you do?"

T: "IT WENT FROM ASKING FOR A SIM PIN FOR A PUK CODE(she pronounced it "puke") ."

Me: "Oh shit…-grabs phone- WHAT THE **** IS A PUK CODE??!?!?!?! -enters random numbers- wrong wrong wrong wrong AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

So in between all my screaminng, A's mother realized that I was flailing like a whale on land and came over to check it out.

T: "I BROKE CONNIE'S PHONE!!!!"

A's Mom: "WHAT'D YOU DO?! THROW IT ON THE GROUND?"

T: "I…I…I TRIED GUESSING THE SIM PIN BUT BUT NOW IT'S ASKING FOR A PUK CODE!"

Me: "AND I DON'T KNOW THE PUK CODE!!! WHAT IS A PUK CODE!?!??!"

So after freaking out for a few more minutes, I calmed down enough to swim. After swimming, we went to A's house for dinner. I tried to guess my PUK code 3523583259023 more times, all unsuccessful.
When I got home, which was about an hour and a half ago, I googled "PUK code"
I read a couple sites and concluded "Oh, okay. PUK code comes when your SIM pin has been guessed too many times. I just need to call customer service, right?"

"If you for any reason see it on your phone, DO NOT try entering any numbers. If you try unsuccessfully more than 3-5 times, it will permanently block/burn the SIM and will not be salvageable. You will be responsible for replacing it, $24.99."

Me: "…oh…shit."

So, basically, MY SIM CARD IS NOT USABLE ANYMORE 😀
Those 50 dollars I had on my account?
Gone.
And 25 dollars spent on replacing it?
Kiss it goodbye, baby.
75 dollars, hasta la vista.
Oh gosh, I don't have that much money on me right now.

To some of you, this probably isn't a big deal, BUT I AM FREAKING ASIAN AND I AM CHEAP. AND I'M A COWARD.

Two of my friends, J (<3333) and N were trying to comfort me.
N was more or less laughing at me, actually.
J was…offering help, but…nah 😀

So I haven't told my father about this yet.
I was going to when he got home, but almost immediately after he got home he went outside to work on the roof.

In the middle of typing this blog, I went outside, thinking I was ready to tell him.

Me: "BABA? WHERE ARE YOU?"

Dad: "UP HERE, ON THE ROOF."

Me: "-looks up- BABA, I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT I TOLD YOU ON THE PHONE EARLIER!!!"

Dad: "HOLD ON. HAND ME THAT ELECTRICAL CHAIN SAW, WILL YOU?"

Me:" …-looks at chain saw and gulps- Uhhh….-hands to dad-"

Dad: "Thanks, now what were you saying? -turns chainsaw on-"

Me: "…uh…HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!! -runs inside house screaming-"

So, concluding today!

What I've gained:
-A new fear of my dad.
-Knowledge of what a PUK code is.
-A's mom really knows how to cook :3
-ILY J 😀
-A job application to Chick-Fil-A.

What I've lost:
-75 dollars
-My expensive expensive shitload expensive chinese phone that helped me cheat on chinese tests.
-My awesome phone number D:
-My soul.

Ahaha. Good job 😛

EDIT: I just told my mom. I knew I shouldn’t have. She’s always the one that’s harder get them to understand you x_X
After telling her my story, this was her answer:
“Then you can just not have a phone, it’s that simple.”

…wut?

Anyway, good news is, I was smart enough to remove my SIM card from my phone so I could actually turn on my phone. Luckily, I DIDN’T lose my phone, because all my contacts and messages are still stored on the phone. So basically, it’s a regular phone…just without signal.
>_>

-was too lazy to edit blog so just posted it as a comment-

EDIT: My mom told my dad and he’s very very angry.
Very.

Try to make it all your friends’ fault but not really so that you can get a new phone x-x

You’d think soemthing like that would be important to say

To be honest, that’s a pretty stupid mechanism.

Hey, I lost my phone twice.

Been through hell.

But I’m still here. And that’s what that counts.

Raaage. XD

Well, it’s unfortunate – at least, now you know.

OH GOD, that PUK code happened to me in Year 7. Freaked the crap out of me and I was holding my phone like it was dangerous. D:

I got it fixed though, luckily.

It’s funny when you think about, what if some burglar stole her phone and failed to guess the PIN? The owner would basically have to pay to get their phone stolen 😛

But then again, you can track the phone down using the SIM card, but you would still have to pay.
