"What wrong? Cant afford the BIG BOY phone?" (And other cheap rebuttals)

op is an irl petty child, worry about what you enjoy rather than focusing on the decisions of others. that's a red flag for massive insecurity

So I went in to look at phones in store (9/25ish delivery for me) and I was at the display desk for the iPhones.

Nearby there was some early-20-something average dude with his gf waiting in the main phone line about to get checkout by a worker.

I was holding both phones just looking, and he made a loud annoying comment like yeah, I would never get that one its way too big.

In my mind I snapped, but not before I returned an even more annoying blow.

See the way he said it right when I was fondling the 5.5 with the 4.7 next to it I could tell he was wanting to get that hater energy out there so I could hear it. Maybe agree or comment with him? I dunno.

It defined him at the time yunno? It represented the essence of his swag like how he was feeling these days. A pretty simple seeming guy. His girlfriend standing by his side. I wasn't even talking to him but he was being all chatty cuz who knows how long he had been waiting in line for pick up.

So I felt this surge of irritation so I hit back with the totally unexpected: "CANT AFFORD THE BIG BOY PHONE HUH? HAHAHA" (With that fake, old man from the 80s laugh)

It was the perfect level of basal ignorance to combat his.

It hits them in two spots and if you want to have the last laugh this season thats how cheap you gotta go.

I wasn't even talking to anyone just minding my business. Don't try to small talk me with some basic bs. I didn't ask for your opinion.

Honestly people are getting really petty this time around out in public.

I feel like the 6Plus is more awesome than ever because of the polarizing nature. You know you're doing something right when people are all insecure.

So if people are gonna have cheap one liners, we are gonna need cheap rebuttals to get through the season.

Come on people clearly the OPs testicles haven't dropped yet or he wouldn't have found the need to be so immature.

the hypocrisy is real. Everyone was rushing to criticize the OP but ended up behaving just like him.

You are right OP, Lmao. I think there is truth to that.

I personally ordered the 5.5. inch plus 128 gigs. I have no regret in doing so either. So with that said. I think you nailed him and rightfully so.

Yeah it felt appropriate. I know he was excited about his 6. But I was also there and seeing "my" 6 Plus for the first time and excited too. And no reason to take potential quick jabs at ppl around you.

OP, I don't doubt you at all. I know the types. But the way you described the situation DOES sound pretty petty. :p Some things don't translate well over he internet. Funny stuff though. I would've liked to see the reaction on the guy's face.

Yeah you kinda had to be there.

What I forgot to add was that the guy checking him out asked, "so are you going with the regular or the plus?"

And his response was so loaded; "oh no way, no, the regular, I would never get that one, its way too big!" (dismissive, diminutive, antagonistic)

Like he just put all these extras on it and shifted and looked around hoping to spur more comments from me and ppl around him agreeing like his choice was the only reasonable choice and anyone who got a Plus is an idiot or something.

The the problem is the big iPhone was way better than anyone couldve predicted based on the keynote. It has the people with smaller iPhones pressed.

You werent there. Clearly the tone was the issue not what was being said. The OP made that clear in his initial post. Sometimes how you do something is more important than what you do.

Yeah he definitely put tons of extras on it!

It wasn't innocent. I could tell he's been going around just parroting that to everyone completely not understanding the scope of the new class of size or the purpose of it and that some people prefer that trade off.

This guy was generic.

I can tell he rambled on like that about it. It wasn't just an innocent comment the way he said it. You can tell there was a hidden agenda behind his dissonance for the Plus..

Hidden agenda? LOL. According to you, all he said was that he thought it was too big for himself. Not *you*, or anybody else. Just himself.
yeah, I would never get that one its way too big.

You're not going to find any sympathy here, only ridicule for your outburst.
 
The irony is the guy in the store with his girlfriend has moved on with his life, probably honestly not remembering nor caring what the OP stated. . .
Yet here the OP is, two clicks away from obsessiveness.
 
I was the guy who laughed at my friends Galaxy note 3 phallic extension. He was excited about his new phone and was looking to impress me and i just shut him down with stuff like, are you going to take that snowboarding? Dirt biking? Etc.
I love my six + and will happily make the necessary adjustments to safely keep her with me.
I really can appreciate your story about how you had the balls to publicly shut down that troll. Well done, the world is lacking folks like you. Enjoy your +

Troll city here. Why comment negative? It's like people read a thread title that doesn't interest them or upsets them but instead of moving on, stop by to exercise their worthlessness.

Why do you always post in my threads with a generic useless comment always opposite of what Im trying to talk about?

Pls dont stalk my posts and threads thanks. Im noticing a pattern from you.

I'm wondering how you can tell so much about this guy who made the comment. You pretty much think you have him all figured out.

I think it has a lot more to do with you than him. If you'd stop being so easily offended and insecure about your decisions then maybe he wouldn't get in your head so much.

See...I can be Dr. Phil too. ;)
 
Dude just give it up. I'm sure you thought you were gonna get nothing but high-five's from this thread. The more you rationalize your reaction.... nevermind.
 
Just ignore the OP. He's nothing but a narcissist with a reputation for starting stupid threads.

#YetAnotherThreadFail
 
Didn't your parents teach you that eavesdropping, never mind commenting on a stranger's conversation, is rude? Then you publicly demonstrated your bad manners and shot off your mouth.

Grow up before someone someday decides that your verbal input deserves to be stopped with more than words.
 
I'm working on a cup holder for the iPhone+, it's the only thing keeping it from being a fantastic lunch tray.

It'll be up on Kickstarter shortly.

"What wrong? Cant afford the BIG BOY phone?" (And other cheap rebuttals)

The fact this thread has gotten this much attention is sad.

Seemingly, it's exactly what the OP needs, wants, was looking for, thrives on, whatever you want to call it..we can certainly make that assessment of him in the same way he did a full psycho-analysis of the gentleman who passed an innocent comment in the apple store.

This thread is evidence of mental illness.

Mods, someone should lock this ridiculousness.
