Where's my duct tape and mini tool
Years ago I was on a flight where you couldn't turn this screen off. You could turn off the programming, but the screen still glowed. I discovered that if you take an advertisement from the back pocket and fold it, it can be inserted perfectly into the cracks around the screen and block it completely. Use the ads to block the ads.
Can I pull a boomer move and keep touching the screen repeatedly harder even though it's not a touch screen??? I MUST HAVE THIS, WHY IS IPAD NOT WORKING?!!!!!!!!
Yes, please! Keep pushing on the screen harder and harder until it breaks. Then do it on the screen next to you.
I must eat Cheetos or Doritos for Max effectiveness
Flight attendant: "Why are these screens pushed in and stained orange?"
Where's my high-powered magnet?
I'm sure there's something I can do to discreetly fuck up that screen.
A packet of printable stick-on shipping labels is like 5 bucks. 10 seconds to apply, probable never removable without damaging the screen.
Or those nice warranty stickers which disintegrate when peeling off
