4. Your Face Is Just One Giant Pixel
Universal PicturesTo actually see someone's face as it would be in reality is rare on Skype. Distortion is guaranteed and quality is staggeringly poor. So poor, in fact, that their face can look very much like just one, lone pixel. Like having the eyesight of a drunk bee with a serious condition wearing a pair of thick bee glasses that actually belong to another bee. Just really, really, really baaaaaaaad.
3. Parent: "How Do I Hang Up Again?"
Lionsgate TelevisionSometimes you have no choice but to Skype your parents or other older relatives. Often they don't have a clue about technology to the point of thinking Facebook is actually called Bookface. Frustration heightens when you have to repeatedly instruct your mother or father on how to use Skype. "How do I hang up?" "The big red button of a phone hanging up." "Where?" "At the bottom." "I'm confused." "... LET ME HANG UP INSTEAD, OKAY?"
2. Long Distance Relationship Difficulty Level: HIGH
FoxIn this modern era many of us have temporarily long distance relationships. In the meantime we rely on things like Skype to keep our sanity. But really, don't bother. Make a plan to move closer together or break up because Skype, instead of keeping things going, will anger you so much you want to give up and do a Thelma & Louise style car-driving-off-massive-cliff ending. All you want to do is see your girlfriend or boyfriend's face and hear their voice. Skype will ruin all of that. Besides, what you -really- want is to be in the same room. Most people in non-long distance relationships don't appreciate the privileges they have! Sweetheart, if you're reading this, please get on a plane! Now! Thanks.
