Let's be real: Life is actually unlivable without service. Don't get caught without your Samsung GALAXY S4 zoom — the brave souls on SOS Island sure wouldn't.

Here's you without service.

1. Especially in places like this: the hellhole known as the subway platform.

Here. Service is absolutely needed here. You need more than a stranger's face to distract you from the extreme heat/cold/smell/rats, etc., etc.

2. Or on the actual train.

So many people, so little service.

3. In the middle of nowhere.

Oh you're on vacation? Good thing you told everyone you were going to be "off the grid" for a while because you literally don't have a choice.

4. Or out at sea.

Because every time you're on a boat you're positive that this is going to happen to you.

5. In a packed elevator.

Elevators: always hot, always awkward, and you're always pretending you're on your phone when you aren't because there's no service.

6. At a wild 'n' out music festival.

Yay! None of us have service! We have no idea where our friends are! We won't be able to upload pics to Instagram for two more days!

7. At your parents' house.

This is where 21st-century technology comes to die.

8. In the basement your friend insists on hanging out in.

And you HATE being in that basement without service because you're always expecting the worst. How are you supposed to speed dial 911?!

9. In hellacious lines on Black Friday.

FACT: Situations like these will overload the servers, and you will be bummed about it.

10. In the most boring class ever.

...Okay, never mind.

11. On a six-hour flight.
