I am a mobile phone repair technician - a level 1 engineer. We all have our quirks and our silly moments, and I get to watch quite a few of them pass my workbench.

Hoarders, Phone Edition

We at work were all hugely impressed by today's customer of the day.
Surpassing a previous record of 42, this tireless customer downloaded
183 (one hundred and eighty-three) additional apps onto their phone,
without their phone actually exploding. This kind of mental-disorder
dedication left all the techs amazed; we feel that Brand should find
and IMMEDIATELY employ this person for stress-testing.

 The phone comes with about forty apps, so
I don't count those, just the ones the customer added.

Adding about 10 apps is pretty normal. Adding about 20 apps means
you're getting a lot of use out of the phone. Adding about 30 apps
makes you app-happy. Anything upward of 30 is extremely likely to be
identified as the cause of your phone problems - any idiot out there
can put out a free app without testing to see if it gets along with
any other apps or even works well.
