Caveat emptor

So a bunch of guys at work have the new iPhone 6.  No 6+ here yet, I suppose I'll be the first, and almost all of them are complaining about the size, button placement etc...

Are you fucking kidding me?

Here's roughly how the conversation went.  Not exactly, but pretty close"

After some complaining.....

I asked "Why did you buy it then?"
He replied, "I had no choice"

Are you fucking kidding me?

"Did someone hold a gun to your head and force you to buy it?"
"Now you're arguing semantics"
"But you didn't have to buy it, you do know that there were drawings of the phone, and it's size all over the Internet that showed you the size of it"
"Did you do that?"
"Yes, I printed it out and showed my wife so she would know how big it would be"
"Then you're an idiot"

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

"I couldn't see how big it was before I ordered it, I was due for an upgrade and didn't want to wait, I always upgrade and wanted the faster better phone.  Now I can barely use it with one hand and my wife can't use it with one hand.  It won't fit in my pants pocket."

ARE YOU REALLY FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Yes, he got up at 3am to order his phone so he would have it on the very first day...  I did not.

So, my 128gb iPhone 6+ will be here in about 3 weeks.  Yes I pre-ordered but not at 3am.  I also spent a few minutes reading about it to make sure it's what I wanted, and showed Merinda so she wouldn't think the phone was too big.  She still wants a 6+ too.

I'll let you decide for yourself who the idiot here is...

  1. Oh, and I can fit a Galaxy Note, or an iPhone in a pocket. Granted I'm not a hipster who wears skin tight jeans, but I don't wear baggy pants either.
