Customers Child Autistic . . .
Ok, so a customer came into the store and was interested in buying an iphone. The "mom" has a 10 year old daughter with her that has autisim. And little girl kept grabbing the mom's uh . . boob. Like taking her whole hand and squeezing it, and the mom would slap her hand and continue talking like nothing happened. And she did it like 40 times while I am showing her the phone and trying to convince her to switch carriers.
So - I was paranoid that the little girl was going to reach over and give me a honk. So I kept trying to keep a good 3 foot distance from her. I have to say, I have never been more UNCOMFORTABLE during a sale in my entire life. I feel weird everytime I walk near the iphone display.

I think everyone feels wierd around an iphone display.
I think it's the steve jobs mind control system implanted in the thing.

I agree with you, everytime I go near it, I just wanna stare at the big screen and obey all his commands. ๐

That's funny, I feel compelled to buy one, tear out the internals, and make a frankenphone with my VX9900, keeping the main circuitry of the iPhone, tearing out the GSM connection components, and slapping on the CDMA components from the VX9900.
A 3G Verizon iPhone? I'd hit it.
I think it's a bad thing that my stepfather is a highly regarded electrical engineer working in design at a RF company, it makes me think that this course of action would be easy to do with his help. ๐คฃ

I know having a child with a disability is rough... but if the child is doing something to obviously make another person/ stranger uncomfortable then the parent should excuse themself as well as their child and either calm the child or come back at a better time.

I woulda grabbed her boob and blamed it on my autism too.
