What do I tell to an iPhone user who drops my Mogul?

[walla]

...and then goes on about saying it's cheap/worthless phone (isn't even comparable to iPhone)? What exactly do I say to these a$$h@ts?

Drops it? Make him pay for a new one if there is damage.

Why would you care what he thinks though? If something makes you happy (and doesn't hurt others) isn't that all that counts??

You are right.

But these idiots are so misinformed. Makes me sick.

Just laugh! Simpletons can be amusing at times.

Take his iPhone and use it as a hammer to pound in a nail, look at it, and say, "Yep, you're right! It is a great hammer!"

do you live by a lake river or ocean? and if so...how far can you throw?

Ask him to turn on the flash on his phone. Ask him to copy and paste something from a web page into an e-mail. Ask him to type without looking. Find a list of the things the iPhone is notorious for lacking and compare to your phone's abilities.

Or, just laugh, shake your head, and say "It's just not worth it. I'll let your enjoy your little 'phone.'"

I'm not sure my Mogul is "better" than an iPhone. I mean, if what I wanted were an iPod that could surf the web and make the occasional phone call then the Mogul would be a very disappointing substitute. Since I've got little interest in carrying around an iPod and need to be able to look up drug coverage information many times a day, make calls, handle email, and take pictures of odd rashes, the Mogul is a much better choice for me.

Getting emotional about inanimate objects such as PPC's is not a winning strategy in life, nor is being very concerned about someone else's opinion of your phone, socks, car, sunglasses, etc.

The dropping part would have pissed me off. However, it's fairly likely that the denigration of your Mogul was the dropper's way of making his offense less unforgivable - "if the thing was worthless, then my dropping it wasn't really that bad." Irrational, of course, but that's the way humans work.

One thing I really appreciate about the community here is that every time I think my job/friends/etc.... suck I just need to log in a browse a few posts to see that I'm not alone and I feel so much better....

If someone had dropped my mogul and then went on to make little of what they had done I would surely repay the kindness.

Perhaps you should offer to reauchambeau the guy for his iPhone. Just make sure you get the first kick!

mstevens,

I tip my hat to anyone with the constitution to photograph odd rashes for the benefit of mankind.
