I dropped my Ipad2 off the kitchen counter last week, straight onto a travertine stone floor. Landed right on the top left corner, and smashed the living fukk out of the screen! Needless to say, I was super pissed!!

My wife made an appointment at the Apple store at North Park Mall for last Sat. They said it would be $379 since it would need to be replaced. Fukk me.

So I take it in, and the place is a total fukkin madhouse. I told the sales guy my 4 year old daughter (whom I brought with me for full effect) had accidentally dropped it. Gave him the whole sob story. Meanwhile, my kid is going half-apeshit....all while carrying around a giant fukkin' drink and chocolate-covered hands from the Great American Cookie Co., with all these people and expensive electronics everywhere! Total fukkin' disaster waiting to happen!!! Guy comes back out, and just gives me a brand new iPad.....for free! He even loaded it up with IOS5 (or whatever the fukk its called), which apparently mine didn't have.

I truly believe a big part of this was simply wanting to get my kid out of there before she caused some serious damage. I actually encouraged her to play with some of the 27" tower/monitors with this exact scenario in mind!

So you see, men.....you can make most any negative situation into a +EV event with just a little planning.


Just keep on grinding, men.

I believe that drop was more like a downward throttled spike due to the imploding Rangers in the last game of series..........

Opie you ain't as sharp as you think.

Apple stores will give you ONE free replacement per customer/device.

Mug swam with his iPhone in my pool, apple gave him a free replacement

My girl broke her iPhone glass, free replacement.

Few other friends free replacements.

And ps: you didn't get a "brand new iPad"...you got a newly refurbished iPad.

Have a good day

Opie. Just giving you some facts bud. Your new iPad serial number will now start with a "RM"....which I'm sure you know what it stands for.

You still get all the warrantys and stuff. Not hating just giving you a heads up pal.

Ps...contact me about the best skimmer, will give you a crazy deal
