Accept you mistake and be done with it.
And stop posting here like your hesitant to talk; if you feel guilty saying it, don't do it.
I'm not being hesitant! I went today, and I made a Genius Bar reservation for 4:00 on Tuesday. You don't have to hate me because I'm careless.
Whatever, I don't need your help
The dock doesn't have anything pink inside of it. Just the headphone jack.
No comment.

OK, I'll start doing that. I didn't know that it was the rules
I was reading the warranty, and it said nothing about water damage, but it did say that it does not cover accidents. Just a question: Why is there even a warranty if you can't even return it for a new one if it doesn't even cover accidents? Is there another reason why you would need a warranty except for accidents?
applecare covers manufactiring defects, like if the screen was bad, cracks, speaker doesnt work, etc from manufacturing
it does not cover user induced accidents, like spilling water on it or shattering glass by dropping it
I know, but that's for manufacturing issues. You would get a new one whether you have a warranty or not. But seriously, it should cover accidents. You can't ever make accidents not happen. I sort of do deserve it, not being so careful about it.
Edit: They should also make them water-proof, that way, there would be no problems with water
Why should a company have to pay to make it better when you screw up?
Why do you think insurance which includes accidental damage for a product tends to cost so much?
Its cos people are clumsy and claim a lot and it costs a lot
Can you imaging how much prices would have to increase to cover the losses ... if you drove your car into a brick wall do you expect to tow it into the dealership and say "yeah ... i know its my fault but come on ... fix the car for free"..... think about what you're saying
That ipod of your thats dead due to water will require probably about 90% of its components to be replaced .... that costs money ... take some responsibility for your actions

Well in my case the iPod worked fine after I washed it, but the battery was fried. If only the battery was user-serviceable ... but it's not. So I tricked Apple into replacing it under warranty, and I didn't feel the least bit guilty about it.

Nice one, I hope the person I'm talking to on Tuesday is nice like yours was.
What? They have millions of dollars, and they can't help those "few" people who broke their products?

They weren't nice, and the water sensor was the first thing they checked. Fortunately I had replaced the water sensor so it was impossible to determine that it had gone through the wash.

Erg...
I just want my iPod back (sorry to sound like I'm spoiled)! I got it as a gift! But I don't want to fraud, even though I'll do anything to get it back. I'm so stupid for trying to turn it on. It would've gone fine with the rice. This is why I can't have nice things like iPod touches. I lost all the games for my Nintendo DS too.

Make that "billions" and you'll be on the right track.
That said, I don't think any company should be responsible for covering user-caused damage. It's not their fault you washed your iPod.
I chose to defraud Apple because while I love their products, I hate their way of doing business. I'm pissed that I've had to have my iPhone 3G replaced five time under warranty due to hardware issues caused by a complete lack of quality control at Foxconn. I'm highly annoyed that my AirMac Extreme can't operate in wide-channel mode due to long-since-removed restrictions imposed by Japanese law and Apple's apparent unwillingness to fix the issue with a simple firmware upgrade. I think it's completely assinine that I had to restore my iPhone more than forty times between July 11th on the end (?) of September due to well-documented bugs in the 2.0 firmware. Apple cost me hours upon hours of time, and I plan to recoup my losses in any way possible, including fraudulent replacement of water-damaged iPods.

I was being sarcastic about "few." Notice the quotation marks, and by the way, how would it be billions? There are about 6.5 billion people in the world, and half of them can't even afford them. I think you meant to say millions or 100,000's

I was talking about their cash hordes, not about the number of people stupid enough to wash their iPods (like me)

EDIT: I want you to read this:
MY iPod's battery life was down to 45 minutes, so my friend suggested I break it, as it was under warranty. So i put it in a sink filled with water for 5 minutes, adn wen I took it out, it was broken. But the screen has water trapped in it, and I can't get it out. The apple store is 3 hours away, so could someone please tell me if they'll take it back or not.

What an idiot, lol
I'm not
My Dad's telling me it would look too obvious.
I'm praying to God that they don't look inside the headphone jack.
Well, wouldn't you make a new post about getting YOUR iPod wet?
I mean, it would be the first thing I would do (well I did)
