Some people can't imagine anything worse than their phone running out of juice — but when 'bionic woman' Angel Giuffria is frantically looking for a wall socket, it's because she needs to charge her arm.

Angel, 28, was born missing her left arm below the elbow, and has worn a prosthetic since she was four months old. Since then, she's upgraded to the latest technology, and currently wears a motorized prosthetic that requires some charging.

While attending a panel at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas this week, though, she ran into a bit of a problem: Her arm was in need of a quick charge, but the socket she wanted to used was commandeered by someone charging his or her phone.

That feeling when you're at 2%... Angel Giuffria is pictured at SXSW charging her battery-powered prosthetic arm in the back corner of the room

Cyborg problems: The 28-year-old wrote that she was turned away from another plug by someone charging a phone

According to Chron.com, Angel was at a panel on Saturday when her hand began to beep, which indicated that the battery was running low.

'I pulled my charger out of my purse to walk over to the wall outlet,' she said. 'Another person walked up at the same time that I did to plug in their phone, which is fine.

'I wasn't sure how many outlets were there, so I asked if there was room for me to charge my arm and they said no, and directed me to the back of the room.'

Luckily, she did find a plug in the back corner that she was able to use. She took a photo of herself all plugged in and uploaded it to Twitter.

'FYI: People at this @SXSW panel refused to give up charging their phones so I could charge my arm,' she wrote, 'but I found an outlet in the back of the room so CHARGE ME UP.'

It's OK! Angel, who spoke at a panel on prosthetics the next day, said there were no hard feelings and the phone-charging person may have thought her arm was a panel prop

Cool: The young woman is an advocate for prosthetic technology and likes to personalize hers with decorative sleeves and LED lights

In demand: Angel explained that she was using her arm during the panels more often than usual because others wanted to see how it worked, so it ran out of battery quickly

The young woman added the humorous hashtag #CyborgProblems and included an upside-down smiley face emoji.

Thousands of people liked the tweet, and Angel was quick to chime back in and assure people that she wasn't upset about being turned away from an outlet.

'Y’all I’m not mad at them!' she wrote. 'I thought it was funny (bc there was another plug nearby.) For all I know, they were confused by the entire situation since everyone here at #SXSW seems to think my arm is a video game fashion statement or fancy lit up glove not a prosthesis.'

Angel's arm is, certainly, unique — and unlike the basic prosthetics most people have seen before.

In fact, she was set to speak on Sunday at a panel on the changing technology of prosthetics, and show off Advanced Arm Dynamics arm and bebionic hand by and Ottobock.

Special: She wears an Advanced Arm Dynamics arm and Ottobock bebionic hand, which can be programmed remotely via Bluetooth

How it works: 'Surface electrodes on my resudual limb inside my socket pick up muscle impulses allowing me to control the hand/wrist/device so they did battery power to function'

High-tech: Her arm can store 14 different grip patterns, like for holding a computer mouse or spritzing a bottle

The hand features some top-of-the-line technology, including 14 different grip patterns and hand positions, microprocessors that monitor the position of each finger for better control, and individual motors in each finger that make the hand feel lighter and more comfortable.

The hand can also be wirelessly programmed by technicians thanks so special software, so it can be customized for each user.

It does need to be charged frequently, though — with two hours of charging giving her 20 hours of use. Usually, she wrote on Twitter, she charges it next to her phone at night.

But that day she was using the arm quite a bit, so it ran out of juice faster than it typically does.

'My arm died because I was using it a lot more than usual to demonstrate it for all the people who asked throughout the day,' she said.*

On screen: Angel is also an actress and appeared in one of the Hunger Games movies

Digits: Microprocessors monitor the position of each finger for better control

Long-lasting: Usually, she can charge it for two hours and it will hold the charge for ten

As for what the battery power does, Angel explained: 'Surface electrodes on my resudual limb inside my socket pick up muscle impulses allowing me to control the hand/wrist/device so they did battery power to function.'

Angel also likes to customize her prosthetic with LED lights and other flair, like decorative sleeves.

In fact, her arm is so high-tech that it caught the attention of Jennifer Lawrence on the set of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, in which Angel played a District 8 Amputee.

'She thought my arm was make-up,' Angel told Nola.com. "She thought it was like a prop. I don't know if you know anything about her, but she is very foot-in-mouth. She is my favorite.

'I love her and she's like coming up to me ... I'm used to this look like when people don't understand. They think it's a prop and they are like, where did you put it (the rest of her arm). Where is your arm. ...They don't understand. They are like, where is your arm?'

All good: Angel had a sense of humor about the phone versus arm-charging incident

'She was coming up to me and I was panicking and thinking about what to say and before I could get out anything, she has her bow and goes, "That's so cool. Can I touch it?"

'And she just starts poking my arm with her bow and everyone around me was just like [faces dropping] because they all knew that it was my real arm and I was like embarrassed for her.

'I was like, oh no, it's fine. It's just my arm and then she was like, 'That's your arm. Oh my God! Oh my," and she just started freaking out,' Angel recalled.
