Sure, seeing the battery percentage on your cell phone slowly dwindle down can be upsetting, but some people take it really seriously.
A new survey by LG of 2,000 British adults found that 25 percent of respondents live in “constant fear” of their cell phone battery dying, and that nearly 50 percent say this “fear” has gotten worse over the last five years.
Just under 25 percent say they suffer from anxiety on a daily basis regarding their phone running out of juice (AKA low battery anxiety).
The study also found 40 per cent of people carried one or more portable chargers as back-up should there phone start getting low on battery.
Even more, more than 34 percent said their “biggest horror” was having their phone stolen.
