Annoying Replacements!

[SmackP]

Back when I was a medical student, I remember spending a month in the Psychiatry wards and remember one particular patient from that time.

He kept coming to the doctor we were rounding with and claiming that he had lots of bugs crawling inside him and that no matter what he did, he could always feel them at night when he tried to sleep. The patient claimed he had tried everything and the only option left that would cure him was if the doctor operated on him and removed all of the bugs.

No matter how much the doctor and his staff explained to the person that there were actually no bugs inside him, crawling around, he wouldn't listen. Eventually 2 of the residents had had enough of seeing the same person always coming into the clinic and decided to make him believe they were going to operate on him and remove the bugs. They took it as far as putting him to sleep with a mild sleep aid to make it seem as if they were really about to perform surgery on him.

The next day, the man felt cured. The bugs were gone and he said he could no longer feel any inside and there was now a huge change in his mood. The residents happily reported to their supervising doctor of their success using a placebo treatment.

2 weeks later, the patient returned. He came up to the residents who had performed his "surgery" and said "you know doctors, I don't want to say you didn't do a good job, because you really did and what you did for me was amazing, but there's just one teeny tiny problem."

"What's that?", one of the residents asked.

"This morning, as I was getting up, I realized I felt one bug inside me -- I think you got them all except one."

TRUE STORY. Reading this thread reminded me of it.

Please bring on the "cool story bro"'s.

Wonderful story my dear chap.

I enjoyed that very much!

Contemplating going in to get a replacement for my ip4 due to the horrible white balance camera issue. This is the same phone I got at launch. Never have done a replacement. However I can't determine if this is a hardware or just a software issue from what I have read about here. Other than that I have no complaints

My original phone was freezing and would randomly shut itself off (with a full battery) and even partially reset it's settings when I did a reboot once. I took it in and they said my phone app and mail app were crashing constantly. This was after restoring it twice.

I received a replacement, and now I have the horrible, horrible, huge green blob on my pictures. I'm so ticked! My other phone had what the "genius" considered a pretty major problem but at least it took nice pictures! Now I'll have to go back and try to get this remedied. I don't have lots of optimism.

I know what that feels like.. Apple's QC sucks of late .. Too many duds coming out of the factories.

I think the replacements I'm reading about are getting out of hand .... Apple is doing something good w/ making it easy. But like everything else, the few will ruin it for the rest of us.

So let me get this straight. You exchanged your iP4 32GB with a minor issue for a 16GB iP4 without the minor issue due to the sheer fear of getting a botched replacement.

Anyone else thinks this sounds stupid? I wonder if he even thought about it. I smell a troll.

Wow, Jare thanx for pointing that out. It obvious Jare knows my financial situation so he's right! I'm trolling!

Jerk! I'm having some money issues and I switched to 16 to save $100. AND, if you're wondering why I didn't get the 16 in the first place? Well, it's only because when I was waiting for 12 hours in a line the day of release, they only had 32's to sell. Therefore, I didn't want to leave empty handed ESPECIALLY waiting 12hours.

If anyone else has any other questions, feel free to ask.

hmm.... might be so.. why would anyone want to move to a lower capacity just to clear the phone's issues?

Again, money situation... I could really use the extra $100.
