“If a man has a lock on his phone, has it on silent and always places it face down… It’s because he’s protecting his grandma’s precious recipes!” is a saying that has been printed on several images. It’s a joke—the man probably has something to hide.
The saying was posted on Twitter by Mr. Nobody on September 7, 2019, and probably originated on an image.
