the scream

Forget nuclear fusion, curing cancer or finding the God particle, the most complex and frustrating problem facing mankind today is how to put a bloody screen protector on an iPhone.

Really, why has it got to be so difficult?

If you live in a hermetically sealed environment you might, just might, stand a chance of not getting dust under the thing.

But then there are the bubbles.  Why?  How??

I’ve been wrestling with this problem for an hour now (on and off – not continuously – I’m not that sad!) and there is still a bubble in the top corner that refuses to go away.  I apply pressure to get it to the corner of the screen and then it vanishes.  Yay!.  But no.  Wait.  There it is creeping back again.  And multiplying.  If I press any harder I’m going to end up breaking the screen this thing is supposed to protect.

So, there you have it.  An immaculate (protected) screen apart from the tiniest of bubbles that just refuses to go away.

Perhaps this task should be given to the crew of the Space Shuttle.  I understand that up there no-one can hear you scream.
