Short Story - please send me your phone number, I may have lost it. Long Story - Justin goes to the Apple Store to fix his iPhone... Justin: Hello, I need some help with my iPhone. My contact list is duplicating my contacts and I now have 10-15 of each contact in my contact list. Can you help me with this? Douchey Apple Guy 1: Are you expected at our Genius Bar? Justin: I suppose I am now (its 9.59a and Douchey Apple Employees - including a guy wearing a leather skirt, pantyhose and lipstick, with more piercings in his face than fingers on his hands...weird - outnumber shoppers). Douchey Apple Guy 1: Ah. Of course. Right this way. Douchey Apple Guy 2, can you help him with his iPhone? (Douchey Apple Guy 1 explains the situation to Douchey Apple Guy 2). Douchey Apple Guy 2: It looks like your iCloud account has been corrupted. When was the last time you logged into your iCloud? Justin: Never. iCloud doesnt really work very well. Douchey Apple Guy 2: Hmm. I see that. Can I run some diagnostics on the phone? Justin: Knock yourself out (Douchey Apple Guy 2 goes to the back of the store). Douchey Apple Manager: (After about 17 minutes of waiting - which is equivalent to more than six days because I didnt have my phone to check Facebook and stuff while I was waiting). We reset your iCloud account. It didnt seem to work so we had to restore your phone to factory settings. Justin: Seriously? What about my photos and contacts and text messages. You didnt back it up or something? Douchey Apple Manager: No. Douchey Apple Guy 2 said you didnt use iCloud. Justin: What does that have to do with nuking my phone? Douchey Apple Manager: Well you said you were having trouble with duplicate contacts. Justin: That strikes me as neither constructive nor helpful. Try again. Douchey Apple Manager: Im sorry if youre unhappy. You had a problem and that was the only way to fix it. Justin: So to fix the issue on my phone, you deleting everything on my phone without asking me? Douchey Apple Manager: It should work fine in the future. Besides, you should have a backup in iTunes. Will there be anything else? Justin: Yeah, Id like my contacts and photos back, please. Douchey Apple Manager: Look, thats all we can do. Were very busy here today. Justin: There are 30 Apple people and 4 customers. When you say youre busy, do you mean youre from the future - when you might be busier - or youre from some weird parallel universe where the ratio of 7.5 staff to 1 customer is busy? Douchey Apple Manager: [Walks away without further comment.] Justin: Dang.
