Pissed off.
« on: June 09, 2004, 03:22:46 pm »
So, (this happened yesterday, but I will say today, bc its more natural to me) I found a used pen on the ground at school. It was pretty beat up, but I needed a pen, so I took it, and set it in my right pocket (my dominant side). I had used it often that day, and sitting, and getting up it exploded in my pocket. Wow. I was pissed. Not just because my pocket was/is dirty, but because, lo and behold, my iPod was in that pocket. I was soooo  pissed. I screamed (literally) and attempted to clean my device. Well, ther was ink all over the thing! And that was a baaaaad Idea. It turns out that soapy water is BAD for electronic devices, even if it's just on the body. So, not realizing this, I proceeded to listen to it, and it was screwed up. I could barely get the track spinner to work, or whatever its called. so I reseted it, and it started to work a little bit more. Its still not in tip top, and it kinda looks like crap, but i have secured my investment. hallelujah! The moral of the story: Don't put an iPod in the same pocket as a pen or a magnet.


Edit by moderator: if you can't say it without profanity, then you probably shouldn't say it.  Edited for profanity.

Yesterday a techie gizmo you have gets ruined by an exploding pen in your pocket, today you buy a pocket protector, tomorrow you need to tape up your eyeglasses becuase some kid hits you for having a pocket protector.

I know, I know, it probably wasn't your shirt pocket, but I'd like to believe it was.

Hey, at least it wasn't the pubescent pocket explosion of yore... though that would have cleaned up easier from the ipod.
