You know, it sucks that someone opened your gadget when you were looking forward to opening it yourself and I could understand why someone could get upset at the situation. But there is definitely no need to go off on your own sister and mom like that.

You could have explained your point of view in an adult manner and moved on.

You probably hurt the feelings of those who love you and I hope that once you calm down you go back and apologize. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow, don't ever put yourself in a situation where you will regret your actions.

Agreed. This is a very mature way of handling it.

1st world problems... gotta love em' :rolleyes:
 
OP just venting guys

Sibling's can't live with em' and can't live without em' :rolleyes:

If that were me, and I had access to the master account, I would disconnect your sisters phone from the AT&T account, then when she complains tell her you do know what is wrong, send her on a goose chase to Apple, but then activate her phone thru AT&T afterwards, then tell her to the lesson she needs to learn.....harmless but yet will get your point across.
 
This must be one of the most ridiculous and even somewhat sickening threads I've ever seen on this forum.
 
x2.

Not to mention going off on his mom after she just dropped some serious coin on the kids's new iphone. That's why they were shipped to his moms house, i'm sure she paid for them. I'm bet the credit card on his itunes account is his moms credit card too. Kids have no idea how many hours they would have to WORK in order to pay for a new iphone. Kids are so spoiled nowadays. Much different than my childhood and i'm only 30.

I Paid $200 and my bro payed $200. my bro and i both have jobs and I rarely ask my mom for money. The only reason they were shipped to her house was because i thought they would come on friday and i would be home to get them. I Apologized and everything is fine now. i realize this is such a small deal in the big scheme of things. its just an overreaction. my mom still loves me.

You've only been here 9 months. Give it time...you'll see worse.

OP, just sniff the box (of the iPhone). It'll still have that fresh, new iPhone smell.
 
Ok here is the story I ordered 4 iPhones and I am in college so i had them shipped to my parents house. Well they arrived today but since i wasn't home i helped my mom set hers up via Skype. That was a success. so when i was done i told her not to touch my iPhone or my twin bros iPhone. I just wanted to come home from college and open up a brand new packaged iPhone. Well somehow my sister went to set up her iPhone without telling anyone and she activated my bros iPhone. So my mother Skyped me and told me what happened. And This is what ensued over Skype - Apple Fanboyism at its finest.

If your lost, my brother just went off on my mom for not listening to my instruction to not open the other iPhones. But apparently my sister doesn't listen to anything. If you listen to it carefully you can hear my bro say "put the phone back in the packaging i want it to be the way that it came from apple"

LOL this is so sad
put your phone back in have it laminated and open it like it was new

we were just venting. it just made us mad that they couldn't follow instructions. I apologized and everything.
 
Can't really understand what OP is saying, the title is confusing, what does loving apple to do with dislike your sister.
 
That was terrible. Your poor mom probably paid for those iPhones and that's how your college-aged brother talks to her?

You guys looked like some grade A jack@$$'s. Congrats!

No actually we paid for them. we both have jobs. and yes we looked like jackass's, but we apologized and we normally never talk to her like that. it was more of a venting moment at my sister. My mother is the most precious thing in the world and i told her how sorry i was.
 
OP, venting or not that BS you and your brother pulled is inexcusable. My mother would have slapped the **** out of you. So what, you apologized later....big deal...shouldn't have happened in the first place. Doing it in the first place showed the level of respect you have (or should I say lack of respect). Then posting it on the internet for laughs shows how little respect you really do have for your mother. Way to be spoiled, disrespectful, and classless "man". This post disgusts me.

no bro. your family must just not know how to have fun. My family can jerk around like this and we will still all love and respect each other. I am sorry that you grew up in a world where your mother acted like hitler. I respect my mother so much but she is one lady who knows how to have fun and look back on things and laugh. I love my family and they love me.

"SHAKE AND BAKE..........that just happened." (fistbump) :D

isn't it obvious? He want's apple to be his sister instead.

But on a more serious note at least he apologized
 
gregdrummeraz is that you? :p

All that i have been waiting to do for the last 4 months is to open a brand-new in the box iPhone and my sister messed it up. I love Apple so much i have all apple everything and i just wanted to open a brand-new iPhone!
You still have a phone to open up. You specifically said it was your brother's phone.
Hey man, I totally understand where you're coming from. My iPhone 4S was delivered today and I'm out of town on business. I gave my wife explicit instructions not to open the box and she dutifully complied. If she opened the box and took my iPhone out before I got back, I would go ape-****.
Seriously? I would leave you on the spot. That's total ******** that you can be adult enough to marry and yet so immature to go ape **** over someone opening up your phone.
Ok well my sister opened my bros iPhone and her iPhone. so three of them were opened. the only one left is mine to open. And for anyone who thinks i am disrespectful to my mother, i never ever yell at her she is the most precious person in the entire world, i would do anything for her. my bro and i were just a lil mad, i apologized to her.
Again, you have a phone to open up. It's your "twin" brother that sounds like a little bitch. I don't care how mad you were, if I ever spoke to my mother that way I would be slapped silly and I'm an adult.

OP, I don't get your problem. You still have a phone to open. You just made yourself look silly posting that recording of you and your brother popping off at your mom. If I believed in Karma I'd say it was a bitch. One day when you're all grown up you'll realize how stupid this whole thing really was.

Wait...was it you who was whining and QQing about the opened phone or your brother?

Or is this one of those stories where people blame what they did on a mysterious "friend"?

"soo...mom....my friend crashed your car...I swear it wasn't me!" :rolleyes:

BTW: based on your other videos, I'm actually not surprised by the way you spoke to your mother. Take that as you will...

What are u talking about. Everything in those video and all the stuff we did me and my brother have paid for with the money that we have made. I have been working since i was 12. You don't know me or my family so **** off. I respect my mom like she is an angel. i don't ask them for a dime. they are the best parents a kid could ask for. My mother has been there my entire life and has made everything right for me. I love her at every moment of my life. Your acting like u never have yelled at your mom. We both still love each other, this was just a little argument.

Don't you mean "paid" and not "payed"? Also, have you ever heard of capitalization? Are you really in college or the first grade?
