Cringe Cringe Cringe

I just wanted to share a funny story with all of you... And I do realize this has nothing to do with me, other than the fact that I was there, but I'd like to share it anyways!

I was waiting for the bus with 3 other people. And I know you might laugh, because a lot of people do, but I have a blackberry, and one of the guys I was with was exceptionally making fun of me for having a work phone. I make fun of myself, but this is an important part of this story.

One of the three was flipping his phone up into the air and it fell on the ground... It was bound to happen eventually. He picked it up... This moment is always the most stressful, and it was the same as before. One crack horizontally through the middle, with the exception of a tiny, miniature little crack to the edge, which he had just created. This was no big deal and we were all relieved...

Then, out of nowhere, another of the three (the one who was making fun of me) threw his phone directly onto the pavement and said, and I quote, "iPhones 5s never break"... I'm staring at this phone, screen towards the pavement, and I'm just there thinking there's no way that this phone has not been absolutely destroyed!

He picked up his phone with no worry in the world, and to his surprised the screen was absolutely shattered! At this point we were all silent! He looked at us and said "it's never broken before; this gives it more character, whatever..." This made me want to cry! He had destroyed a perfectly fine iPhone because; well what it did was really stupid!

And I would pick a decent blackberry over a shattered iPhone any day! I'm pretty sure he regretted his decision and well, it made a great story.

P.-S.: He probably cried when he got home...
