    When I was in my teens I worked delivering newspapers early in the morning through densely populated areas, that is, big buildings with +6 floors. One day there was a massive blackout and all elevators were of course not working and I had to deliver a bunch of papers to some apartments in a building that had 10 floors, and of course, four of them lived in the very last floor. So I had to take the stairs, but it was all dark, so I got to pull out my phone's flashlight to see.

    It was my moment, man. I perfectly understand this guy.

        I remember my brother had the first Android phone to ever come out. He was showing it off, and I was hmming and humphing. He showed how the camera flash worked and I allowed that that was a good idea instead of a strobe like a usual camera. He then showed me the flashlight app, which just turned on the flash and kept it on, turning it into a flashlight. "It's actually one of the more useful functions" he said.
