I came THIIIIIIIIIIS close to leaving my dad stranded in Salem today.

We had to make a special trip to Oregon's glorious capital today to reinstate our old LLC for this sһitаss investor who refuses to give us money otherwise. Got down there, and I let Dad handle the paperwork, because I figured there was no way he could mess it up.

Naturally, I was wrong.

We didn't figure out where he went wrong until we got back out to the car, and I had my phone charging off the car battery, which requires the car to be on. Then we found out there was one more piece of paperwork that needed to be done. Dad was using my portable phone charger, because his phone was desperately hanging on by a thread, so I couldn't charge my phone anywhere but in the car.

He didn't grasp that concept.

He told me he needed me to go in with him, to carry his briefcase. I said I couldn't, because I had to stay with my phone. Couldn't lock the car door with the key in the ignition. He then argued that he didn't have a corporate debit card on him, and I did. So I handed him my corporate debit card. His face contorted with rage as he yelled, "Why are you so fuсking lazy!?" He then left his phone in the car and slammed the door, just to hammer home just how mad he was that I was stuck in the situation he had created.

I feel like I'm missing something here. Is the phone vital to your business and that's why you had to stay with it or couldn't let it off the charger for a few minutes to run back in?
@Turtlepower Partly. It's also bad for the battery long-term to do that to it. Plus it was only a couple hundred feet, and I was sure he could handle it alone.

Plus I had [i]JUST[/i] put it on the car charger after taking it off the portable charger to let him use it, because I had just learned that his phone was almost completely dead.

@LordShadowfire Do you mean bad for the battery to fully die? Because yeah that's definitely bad but it's actually bad for batteries to be charging too much too (learned this the hard way with laptops). There's a sweet spot lol. Fair enough though, I was just curious.
@Turtlepower Well, I had been charging the battery, and it was up to like 44%. Pulling it off when it's only partly charged is also bad for it. It teaches the battery that 44% is the max limit.

But you're right, a couple of minutes wouldn't have killed it.

You just need to look him in the eye and say, "Words hurt". That'll solve everything.
@SnailTeeth That doesn't work with him. He gets this idea in his head that I'm trying to sabotage what he wants, and there's no reasoning with him.
