“I’ll shoot the I-Phone, I will!”

10.02.09 | Posted by: k. sean pifer

Well recently there have been a lot of complaints by Apple customers that their I-Phone hasn’t been working properly due too many reasons. In the past there as even reports in which two people had their I-Phone blow up on them, on man was hospitalized by the incident. Now this past Thursday a distraught man apparently fed up with the way his I-Phone was working showed up at an Apple store in Cincinnati with a gun and told an Apple store employee:

“[I'm] So mad, I could pop a 9mm at it.”

Now the store employee trying to calm the man down told him that their was no need for him do shoot an I-Phone, but in response the man had said that he would do it right now. Then he apparently opened up his jacket and reveled a black 9mm handgun.

The employee told Goodrich she’d get his phone fixed and walked him over to a technician in the store, then told her manager, who called police. Goodrich is charged with aggravated menacing, causing fear of harm to an Apple employee. He also faces a carrying concealed weapons charge for not telling the deputy he had a gun. Goodrich is scheduled for arraignment Friday morning.

I actually find this very funny, and how could you not? Though it does show the mindset that some people are in during these rough economic and political times I suppose, but I must say threatening too shoot an I-Phone is a bit over the edge. Another reason to stay away from anything Apple makes. ;)
