Dude comes into the store because his phone isn't working.

Dude is mad because his phone has "died", even though he took "such good care of it! I didn't drop it or nothin'"

Rep grabs phone from dude, and notices that phone is warped (as in, the outer plastic cover is wavy).

Rep asks dude WTF happened to the phone.

Dude says "Oh! Well about three months into owning it, the screen went white, and I found that if I left it on my car's dashboard in the sun, the screen would work again.

I am alive still, but barely 😁 How have you been?

I haven't been posting much because I find it a bit difficult to keep up! But this one had to be posted for everyone's enjoyment!

We just had some cat come in talking about the whole I didn't do anything to it same old same old bs...Five minutes before the store opened he was standing outside the store banging his phone on the trash bin. I tried pointing out that that was doing something and he got all defensive about it. You can't tell me what to do with MY phone... Whatev. Guess who paid full retail. 😈
