.......is probably too stupid to be allowed to own a phone?

I mean FFS, what did they seriously think was going to happen?! People have upgraded then chucked their phones in water to check, and they want sympathy?!

YANBU. I saw that and just rolled my eyes.

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/09/2013 20:40

Yanbu. I thought much the same when I saw it initially.

I want to know how such stupid people have enough funds to have purchased an iPhone.

Twattybollocks · 25/09/2013 20:58

Really? My god that's on a par with people driving into lakes following twat-nav

tolittletoolate · 25/09/2013 22:18

most stupid twats have an iphone don't they?

Alisvolatpropiis · 25/09/2013 22:25

Oi toolittle be nice! Grin

UrethraFranklin · 25/09/2013 22:53

Oi I'm not a stupid twat! Angry

Wink

Someone on FB (shock) actually believed this. Can't say I took much notice apart from wondering just HOW advanced is technology for an update to waterproof a phone?! Grin
Amazingly advanced to some.

Lweji · 25/09/2013 22:58

My watch has a warranty for 50m under water and I don't even dare to get it wet.

Who chucks an iPhone under water just to check something that is not even hardware, just software????

tolittletoolate · 26/09/2013 08:27

I very carefully worded that!
so not all people that have iphones are twats but everyone that is a twat has an iphone!
In my experience...

UrethraFranklin · 26/09/2013 17:51

Ah yeah the 'most' was there, my bad. Could be said about Audis too Wink

No offence to non-twattish drivers of Audis Brew

Alisvolatpropiis · 26/09/2013 17:54

Are there any Urethra?

Step forward and make yourself be known if so! Grin

Rachel778 · 26/09/2013 17:56

LOL . I must admit to a laugh at their stupidity ..

Sallyingforth · 26/09/2013 18:22

Agree with toolittle
Twats and iphones seem to be mutually attracted for some reason.

FrussoHathor · 26/09/2013 19:16

tolittle I know plenty of twats with blackberrys

Lweji · 26/09/2013 20:09

I know a non-twattish driver of an Audi.
No, not me.

TheTempest · 26/09/2013 20:12

I wonder how some people live when they are so stupid. Surely Darwin's law should come into play WinkGrin

Me and DP are both non twatty I phone and Audi drivers. Although the fact that we have matching cars and I Phones might suggest the opposite! Grin

UrethraFranklin · 26/09/2013 21:10

The twatty Audi drivers definitely all live near me then! Shock

I remember the hoax that 30 secs in a microwave would charge an iPhone. There are some very trusting people out there. It went doing chatroulette first, rather hilarious.

FrussoHathor · 26/09/2013 21:58

You mean a microwave can charge a phone? Wink

Tuon · 26/09/2013 22:05

Yes Frusso. Try it. Thirty secs on 750 watt should do it.

FrussoHathor · 26/09/2013 22:09

Would 20secs in an 800watt work on an iPad?
