Water Damage
Ive been at work for an 1 and 30 minutes. Just had the second customer come in with water damage to their phone and try and tell me they never got it wet. It voids the warranty don't get pissed off at me because you sweat thru your pants. The red sticker indicates you are a fu#kin liar. Go away. Thats what insurance is for which I explain to everyone so eat sh!t.

water damage makes me cringe.... 😕
I like the people who say "I never got it wet, and I even set it on the shelf furhest away from the shower head when I'm in the shower. I'm very careful." 🤨
or or
With a baby on her hip.. "No, I didn't get it wet. I've never spilled anything on it." So I say Does your baby ever get ahold of your phone. "Yes, she plays with it when it's off but she didn't spill anything on it." 🤤

or better yet....they pull it out of their baby's mouth to hand it to you...saying It's not working..
Hmmmmm....wonder why??
Nope never spilled anything on it...just let it marinate in baby drool. 🤣

Sadly you are probably right. I actually do like kids, just not babies. From 5-8 I can start to tolerate them, then from 8 and up I can relate to them pretty good. Babies.. no thanks.
...
I agree. And all those people who fuss over how cute babies are... I just don't see it. They all look the same until they hit 2 or 3. Then they get entertaining. I love spending time with my nieces or nephews but they are 3, 6, and 8. They're a riot.

You must be my long lost sister. Either that, or my soul mate. Come to think of it, I live in South Carolina now, so there's really no societal restriction against you being both.
...
don't judge me, i have all my teeth and no history of incest... that I know of 👀
...
LOL
No judgements here. I have a funny story about that, not really shop talk material though, so to make it short, let's just say after my mom passed a year and a half ago or so, my dad got remarried to one of her cousins from Germany. So she's my 2nd cousin, and now my stepmom, and thus was born the new family term: Step-mousin. Feel free to use it, should the need ever arise.

I don't like children, in general. Sometimes they're okay when they're related, but in general, ugh. Babies gross me out. Toddlers p*ss me off. School-aged kids usually have headlice and sinus infections. My sister wasn't cool until she hit 11. Now she's fun.

I love these customers. It's raining like frakin crazy here today, and I know I'll have a couple custies wander in with liquid damaged phones, but swear the phone never got wet... despite the fact the phone wasnt protected from the rain in the slightest way while they clip-clopped across the parking lot.
...
My favorite customer ever (we call him d-bag of the year): Walks in the door. Chucks the phone AT me. Says, "this POS phone doesn't work worth a gawdamm. You need to fix it."
Of course, during his initial rant, I start pulling the battery out and ask, "is the liquid damage recent? Or has it been working fine since is initially got wet?" (My gentler way of saying someone fried his phone)
Of course, it's never been wet. I explain what, exactly, litmus paper is. He says he doesn't believe in it. My simple response is, "you can't really argue with science, but okay..."
Then he said the most profound thing. I couldn't believe it. "I've never even been out in a rain-storm."
I couldn't resist. I mean, never, not once, in your whole life...
