A local woman has endured yet another poorly-framed FaceTime conversation with the top left corner of her parents’ heads.
Gabbi claims for years now she’s only been able to catch glimpses of her parents, who live overseas, because of their inability to properly aim the camera on their phone.
“I love hearing from them,” Gabbi, 29, told The Advocate.
“It’s just that I wouldn’t mind seeing them as well.”
Aside from occasional visits at Christmas, or FaceTime conversations when her sister is with her parents, Gabbi has only seen parts of her family for years now.
“Yesterday my mum managed to get part of his chin on screen,” Gabbi said.
“But other than that, it’s been all foreheads and bits of ears.”
When asked why she couldn’t just teach them to aim the phone camera better, Gabbi got emotional.
“I’ve tried,” she said, tears in her eyes. “Oh God, how I’ve tried.”
