Why Our Phones Are Passive-Aggressive

"Are you still watching?" "Your screen time was up 30% this week." "Your cart is lonely!" Does your phone ever feel less like a helpful tool and more like a judgmental, passive-aggressive roommate who’s deeply disappointed in your life choices? You're not imagining it. The sass is real, and it’s by design.

Welcome to "Why Our Phones Are Passive-Aggressive," a comedic roast of the devices we can't live without. In this episode, we're giving a voice to our phones and their most annoying notifications. We’ll personify your digital assistant, explore the dark patterns and "confirmshaming" tricks designed to guilt you, and translate what those "helpful reminders" are really saying. This is a deep dive into the manipulative, attention-seeking, and downright sassy world of your phone's personality. Is your phone your friend, or is it just waiting to sigh at you?
