   I try not to take my cellphone with me anywhere because I don't like to   
   receive phone calls or texts while I'm out and about. And since my wife always   
   takes her phone everywhere, I thought that I could log in to my Gmail account   
   on her phone if needed.   
      
   I was wrong. I can't do that. It said "You're trying to log in on an unknown   
   device." So then to verify that "it's really me," Gmail offered to send a code   
   to my phone. But that wouldn't work because I didn't have my phone with me.   
   There was a button that said "Try another way.." but that literally was a fake   
   button and it didn't do anything.   
      
   So Google is trying to teach guys like me a lesson: "Take your phone with you   
   everywhere, or else you won't be able to touch your Gmail account."   
      
   And the other part of it is "We're in charge, we're gonna monitor your   
   movements, we're gonna emit radon from your phone's battery, and you're gonna   
   sniff the shit out of it, or else you ain't gonna be checkin no email."
