Today, I got an angry call to the phone shop where I work. The caller demanded that we give him his money back. His reason? He said he'd been tricked because his phone got ruined by water "even though he was using the waterproof application". FML
OwlSaysBlimey tells us more.
I really didn't think this would be posted, but thanks for all the hilarious comments! Well, I think I ought to explain it a bit. This person is one of our usual customers and is infamous for being a total idiot. Although this isn't the first time he has complained to us, this is by far the stupidest complaint he's made. He's usually complaining about that the Internet's off and that he can't turn 3G on and so on. Anyway, he didn't get his money back and my boss told him to piss off, so we're all good :).

Next he's going to sue the beer companies because he won't actually be able to drink the beer from the app.

As the manager of a phone store myself I can say, with full authority, that this customer's stupidity was was far from unique... At least twice a week I have angry customers stopping by or calling because their phone's Internet stopped working. A quick check determines that they've shut off their "Mobile Data," followed by their declaration that, "of course I turned that off... I don't want to use up all of my data package!"

Smh... sadly, I have family that can top that. Like telling me that their phone can't have Bluetooth on it because their phone is black. They were serious.

"We're sorry sir, but we don't support third-party applications. You would need to contact the company that made the app."

I just looked up the app. It clearly states that it's a farce. Although I am wondering what exactly it does at 12.49 MB. This sucks, OP. The caller is clearly dumb. He should have at least read the reviews.

Who actually believes that by having an app your phone now becomes waterproof? ****, why are people so stupid?!

Some people shouldn't be allowed to talk.

This reminded me of the pregnancy test app from Scary Movie 5 where she pees on her phone!

I'm sorry. I think that was my idiot brother-in-law. Or perhaps his equally idiotic friend. Or maybe not, but they still are getting punished for throwing their phones in a pool.

I feel bad for your sister, being married to this guy and all.

Update: It WAS them and they are going to be punished.

Should've asked him if he tried switching it off and back on, OP.
