More context is needed. Is this Windows, Mac, or some other system that allows this?
What's the time limit, obviously the system will actually restart and ignore your inputs at some point.

Never broke any screens (or anything else on my person) either. But I've had butt-dials and random things accidentally activated on my phone in my pocket numerous times.

I also use a smartwatch to keep my phone unlocked and I constantly have ear buds in to answer calls on my phone which I do about every twenty to thirty minutes during work hours and my phone is always facing my leg so it doesn't break.
Never once had these issues

Or I could just not risk calling 911 equivalent and not place my phone in a way that could accidentally activate the screen. Especially when I am taking wireless calls, which unlock the screen on pickup.

After about the age of 12 you stop really caring about pranking people on April 1st.

Gain confidence by going to the gym. It sounds like some redpill BS, but there is something to it.

Leave a funny surprise in their work area with a note! I once rearranged a friend’s desk slightly (just switched around the locations of the office supplies/decorations and such) and taped their chair to the ground so it wouldn’t roll when they tried to pull it out. Stuff like that :)

If you have a Samsung device it is under >settings >display >accidental touch protection (turn this to on)
Other brands have similar settings

If you drink water your blood will seem weak. So what you do is save up some of your blood in the fridge for a few weeks, then drink that.
Boom! Guaranteed to make the blood nurses all hot and bothered by your manliness.

Reply to comment by gleaming-the-cubicle in LPT: If a single friend of yours has said they don’t want children, don’t start asking them if they’ve changed their mind if/when they find a partner. by dubdoll
I think getting in a relationship has a significant enough chance of changing a person's desire to have a kid where it can't be compared to just 20 minutes.

My phone is constantly in my pocket like that and has never once done any of that. Idk what you’re doing.

Using the Amazon app makes it easy to locate. On the home page, click the three bars in the lower right corner - your shortcuts, including Subscribe & Save, are in the lower portion of the screen that opens.

I never experienced anything like that with any phone I owned. The fabric from your pockets should be enough to not trigger the touchscreen.

Hey you kids out there i got some fun ones.
Late at night like 2am go into your kitchen and move everything into the wrong spots and upside down. Plates go where bowls go, bowls go where the cups go cups move to where ever else you got. If your parents are like 50+ they will absolutely lose their mind.
Salt for the surger
Some hot sauce on the toothbrush
1 small item or coin in each shoe
Turn the tv on mute it then turn the volume up alot (not to much don't blow up the speakers)
Get a large lid or surface fill it with water and put right infront of there bedroom door.
This was my favorite day as a kid and my parents always regretted forgetting :)

I certainly don't know how to enable leg detection on my lockscreen. Hell, most of the time my phone is unlocked by smartwatch proximity, so the lockscreen is just a swipe away from unlocking.

There are settings on all phones to prevent that. If you have this issue you just don't know how to use your phone fully.

Yeah, so it can drain battery with a constant screen activation against your leg. Locking you out after a 100 failed pattern attempts, opening whatever random crap you have allowed on lockscreen. Or butt-dialing emergency services.
