When i walked into a Sprint store

**ra88sheed** · 05/25/2011, 03:39 AM

Hey guys,

I walked into a Sprint store at a mall one day and asked about any future WebOS phones coming to Sprint. The guy working there didn't know anything about any releases. So then he insisted on telling that I'm eligible for an upgrade and recommended me to get some crappy Andriod phone but I refused.

Then he said something that I didn't find at all surprising. He said, "You WebOS fans are so hard headed. Once you tried the WebOS you never want to go back!" He went further and said, "Every time I get customers asking about Pre phones I kinda give up on trying to sell them any other phones because they get so defensive."

Thought it was funny so I wanted to share :P

That's the kind of loyalty most product designers only dream about.

Wow. That is pretty cool to hear. There must be lots of webOS users in your area.

I've seen MAYBE like 3 Pres/Pixis in the wild near me.

Is it showing my age that when I read the thread title, i read it with a tune in my head and expected the post to say:

"When I walked into a Sprint store
Like I was walking onto a yacht
My hat strategically dipped below one eye
My scarf it was apricot..."

You're so vain,
You probably think this thread is about you.

Ha. The one that USUALLY trips folks up is the next few:

"You had one eye in the mirror as
You watched yourself GAVOTTE..."

I thought you were going to say that the rep said, "Yes, there will be a Pre 3." Then, ask you to sign up for a 2 year contract and get a $150 credit on your bill. It seems like some WebOS fans are falling for this trick.

I used to think the same thing, until last night. After the final soccer game for my son's team, I was passing out the participation trophies (don't get me started on this). The parents were all huddled around taking pictures and I noticed that two parents of different kids had their Pre's out taking pictures.

And they thought I was smiling because I liked the kids....

LOL - i'll hand out soccer "trophies" tomorrow...much to my dismay. Be known that there are others that hate trophies as well...and we KEEP score amongst ourselves!

How about this?

A rabbi, a minister, and an atheist walked into a Sprint store today. The minister had a Pre as he believes faith alone will get you into the kingdom of heaven. The rabbi had an iPhone as she believes both faith and good works are needed. The atheist had an off-contract dumb phone.

They walked up to the sprint rep and said...

That is as far as I got. Now, someone finish the joke.

It's hard to not keep score when the kids keep it and shout it out after every goal.

The atheist said "I'd like an Android phone. I'm already going to hell. I might as well get used to it now!"

**champiful** · 05/25/2011, 02:06 PM

Unfotunately, the minister, Harold Camping, believed the world to end and that his faith would rapture him into heaven. He was wrong, because the facts (cough, cough RUMORS) or lack thereof, caused him an error in calculation. And the rabbi mocked and laughed along with atheist.

**bluenote** · 05/25/2011, 02:24 PM

keep 'em coming, we could use some (gallows) humor around here.

Minister said: "I spoke to Gawd and asked Him to be sure the Pre3 was available by the time my upgrade was ready. Alas, it isn't so!"

Rabbi said: "I spoke to Gawd and asked him to get me Flash on my iPhone and to fix the 'death grip' issue. Alas, it isn't so"

Atheist says: "Hey...don't look at me! If I believed I could speak to Gawd do you think I'd waste my time speaking to a SPRINT REP?"
