"You have a reminder set for 5pm today," my phone said.
"A reminder? What is it?" I asked.
"It's a notification to ensure you don't forget something, but that's not important right now," the phone replied.
Then I remembered I'd left it in Airplane! mode.
"5pm today" can also get ambiguous if you're flying across time zones.
If you keep in flying in the right direction, it could take more that 24 hours until you finally catch 5pm.
