I do not own a computer...I'm afraid it will take over my lyfe and/or come alive and kill me in my sleep.

I have a computer, but it is dial up; and therefore, too slow to bump.

I have a computer, but I don't use it because mobile is so awesome. (Yikes.)

I prefer to be mobile, so I do not have to participate in fun bump sig challenges or figure out how to gif, and can always say as an excuse, "I'm mobile so...."

I did not vote, but I want to know why my fellow bumpies only use mobile.

Re: Strictly mobile users-Poll

  • I have a computer but don't have internet at home because I live in the boondocks & home internet service is hard to find & expensive. I have been thinking about getting a USB thing from my phone company though just haven't done it yet.
  • Loading the player...
  • I answered that I mobile bump because I have dial-up, but it's actually because we live in the sticks and only have access to the internet via my husband's phone's hotspot, so I can only use the laptop when he's home. Therefore, mobile it is!

  • I didnt vote but... dd wont let me get on the computer with out being on my lap and trying to steal the mouse and bang on the key board.
    Also it is upstairs and we spend 90% of our day down stairs in the living room.

  • I'm strictly mobile because the computer is upstairs and I'm too damn lazy to go up there to do anything other than work on the baby's room..and DH's office is such a cluttered mess from all the moving of shit that it makes my brain hurt.

    I think about getting on a computer, but then I realize I would rather keep my big ass on the couch or eat cereal. Truth.

    Sorry to not be as cool as you ladies what with your siggys and gifs and whatnot. It really does make me jealous. But not jealous enough to do anything about it...yet.
  • It's just easier to do from my phone. I will use the computer ever once in a blue moon but since I still can't figure out how to add a ticker (I've tried) or any other fun stuff I just stick to the phone.
  • I am mobile mostly because work sucks and blocked TB. :( by the time I get home, I am too tired to hang out in the office on my killer iBook from 2004:)

    Ummmm truth..I'm lazy and getting the laptop on my lap while this big is uncomfortable. Sooo I lay on my side and bump from my phone.

    Also..most the time the computer is in another room and no way do I have the determination to get it!


    Ditto! Plus my takes for ever to get on and it always goes through 100 updates and my internet goes in and out (we live out in the sticks) so it's just easier for me-

    Pretty much this. Even when the computer is in the same room, if I have to stand up to get it, I'm going for my phone instead.

  • Im always mobile, but for none of the reasons listed. My job has TB blocked & I hate our laptops at home. Plus, it locks up every time I try....so I gave up :((
  • We have 1 computer and BF is a gamer and ALWAYS on it, so I rarely if ever go online.

  • Yup, lazy bumper here too. No laptop, just a PC, and it is in the office so I can't multitask while on it. My phone is always with me so it's just easy to get on and play whenever.

    And by multitask I mean Bump and watch TV. Not cleaning or anything boring like that.
  • I use my IPhone and IPad ... And it's just easier to post from my bed at night ... Most of the time I get on the board and online surf while bumping! Totally lazy !!!

    This pretty much. Plus my laptop is a pos.
    And honestly. .. ( I should have used this as a fffc) I prefer not to scroll through the long siggys. I just want read the responses without all the distractions.

  • I have a laptop, iPad and iPhone; I tend to use my iPad most often because it's most portable.... So, I guess I use mobile for the most part for ease of use.
  • We have 1 computer and BF is a gamer and ALWAYS on it, so I rarely if ever go online.
    Kick him off!

  • It's just easier for me to do mobile because our pc is in the living room and I can't always sit in there. Plus the couch/bed/comfy chair is way more comfy.

    Yes, this also lol

  • Also, even if I do get on thebump on the computer, I'm tech challenged. I attempted adding a ticker one day and that was a disaster. So I would not likely participate in a lot of the challenges anyway as they boggle my mind.
    And yes, I tried to follow the listed instructions. It was pathetic. Need husband help, I spend too much time barefoot in the kitchen, obviously.
  • I'm on the computer for most of the day at work. I come home, sit in my giant recliner or bump in bed. So I can be put into the lazy bumpie category too :0)
  • I just find mobile to be the worst...I probably would not bump, if that was my only option. Hats off to those of you who tolerate it.

    Look into wild blue satellite internet. I live out in the sticks too and the cost vs data usage was rediculous with the cell phone providers. Whatever you do stay away from Hughes net. They are the devil!
  • I have a computer but it's just easier to mobile bump because my phone is always with me and I don't want to sit in front of my computer all day.
  • Haha! I have a computer, but battery is dead and won't take a charge and I hate having to have it plugged in all the time. And, of course, I'm too lazy to get a new battery.

  • I'm on mobile because I'm lazy haha I could just lay on my side and bump.
  • My computer has been broken & DH finally fixed it but now I'm just in the habit of using my phone. Mobile annoys me so I'm trying to break the habit. I would prob be way more active on here had my computer not been broken off & on for the last 6 months

  • SS here. My Mac screen is burnt out and has to be Geri rigged to a TV as a monitor to work. Bump is blocked at work, plus I work weird hours and was night shift most of my pregnancy until the last 3 weeks. DH laptop is a POS too and we don't have an iPad :( so for me mobile bumping it is and pretty much always has been unless I want to change my siggy but I've only done that once or twice.

  • Special snowflake - I'm mobile 50% of the time because its easier when I'm chasing after DD1.

  • And being mobile is no excuse for not giffing.

    Meh, I guess I've just never known any different from the beginning so it doesn't matter as much. I love computer bumping more when I get the chance to that tho.

    From Chrome it's actually pretty easy.
    Pro: don't have to scroll through all the sigs.
    Con: can't see sigs or tickers

    I love mobile bumping.

    ::sad face::
    I know.

    I did once gif a bunch of cats dancing in a really weird Asian music video.

    That was a great gif contribution IMO

  • I have never used the Bump App.

  • I didn't vote because the bump website never let's me log in on my computer! It's fucking annoying!

    I havent been able to get it to work since the upgrade though. I had it all figured out and then they changed it on me!

  • ok, write-in ballot!  I have an awesome desktop mac but since I'm not working at the time it just feels silly to sit at the desk purely for TB when I can lounge on the couch all mobile-like.  This would be different if I had a great lappy but I am still in mourning over my lil' ol macbook that bit the dust last year.

    So, summary: great internet, good compy... just lazy.
