My wife is the worst for the exact opposite. The other day she asked me for a changer. I asked why and she said my phone is at 85%.........
I bet she eats through phone batteries like crazy. There is a reason why our iPads get "like new" battery life at five or more years old!
Yeah thats why I never get her anything with the battery built in. I know of this battery rule you are talking about but what you really need to watch for is what the battery is made of. If it is a LiPo battery and you run it to less then %10 when the battery cells die or they get hot. Now with NiMH you can run them to 0 and they will be fine but if you are storing them they need to have somewhat of a charge in them.
Here is a site with more info on batteries then you will ever need

It is never good to get to the point that you are stranded without your device. I have 4 different USB power packs;
- PowerADD 7200 mAH SOLAR USB charger
- ativa - MOBIL IT charger
- TimeWarner promotion USB charger
- (2) USB chargers that use 18650 batteries - which I recycled out of 'dead' laptop battery packs.

Agreed. These really remove the problem @scottalanmiller discussed.

I've got to fly on Saturday... I am not excited, probably one of the things I dislike the most is flying, all those people crammed into a tiny plane, ugh. At least I'm flying out of Wilkes Barre which is a nice airport.
-
After taking the train from Albany to NYC with @Minion-Queen once, I've decided that if I can spare the time, I am going to commute everywhere by train from now on. Flying isn't fun anymore. When I was younger and significantly smaller, it was a lot more fun...

Did they give you any reason as to why? -

Did they give you any reason as to why?Because it could be a bomb! OMG!
-
@g.jacobse Because it was a tiny plane, and full-size carry-ons wouldn't fit in the over-heads. Actually, I don't think it even had overhead storage, just under the seat, but @scottalanmiller would need to confirm that.

I've seen planes without overhead storage. I actually like that fact, as you don't get caught waiting for people to get their luggage down. However, that usually means it's a commuter plane at best, which means I REALLY don't fit on it...

Have they not heard of RAR or pkZIP? Sheesh...
