Why I don't own an iphone

Busted Ass Phone
Originally uploaded by jertalbot

I don't own an iphone because after work on a monday, I have all sorts of garbage and coffee cups and crap in my hands while I close my stupid wooden p.o.s garage door which causes everything to fall onto the pavement.

There is something nice about the sound that the phone you so proudly bought at a discount on ebay lands directly on its bottom right corner, causing the glass - but nothing else - to shatter, and loosens enough circuitry to turn on its lights, function perfectly, but display nothing on the screen forevermore

Damn it all.

dood at work dropped his iphone in the toilet over the weekend because he was mess'n with it while pee'n. needless to say it's dead. look on the bright side...now you can just buy another stolen phone off ebay and still be paying slightly less than a brand new legit phone from cingular or whatever.

hahahaha, i bet he felt like a total dumb shit. pissing in the toilet and watching your phone tumble slowly slooooowly into a deadly puddle.

It's weird man. I find that I'm shy where I take the phone out. Like I'll either be the focus of more attention than I want or the focus of harsh judgment for being a dumbshit who bought one. People are so polarized over the damn thing. Oh, and I'm getting USAA to add a rider to my laptop insurance to cover the iPhone.
