Android users are consumers, whereas Apple users are religious followers. So just smile politely at their attempts to convert you and continue on your way.

It just amazes me how the human race has so much intelligence and potential, can be so brainless and idiotic at the same time.

*Sigh*

Okay I'm done lol.

Thanks guys.

I have an Android. Works fine for me...

Are people who try to start crap about cell phones. I have an android (samsung galaxy s7), had this phone for three years, still in GREAT shape. I can't tell you how many nasty comments I've gotten from iPhone users about how I need to change over. My little brother teases me all the time about it. When I first experienced it, I just assumed it was people being obnoxious as usual, but recently I found out people are really getting bullied because they don't have an iPhone.

It's gotten so ridiculous that people will claim people with androids only have them because they're broke. There was an incident that occurred during one of the days I was at my internship. One of the managers told the receptionist she needs to get an iPhone so she isn't walking around like a broke B. She was so upset she quit. I've gotten to the point that I have no patience for it anymore, even if it is a "joke." Some people have really become zombies who can't think for themselves when it comes to this kind of stuff....
I've heard of this happening before, but I've never encountered it in real life. It's such a stupid thing to be smug and judgey about.

I remember I started calling people like that iZombies and they suffer from the iPhone sickness lol. But typically I don't say anything. When I see someone with one, it doesn't even cross my mind until they say something about it.

The kind of person I am, I don't like being told what to "like" and what to "do" when it comes to stuff like that. So when people make those smart ass comments or just keep nagging me about it, it just turns me off of it even more. And I think that's the real reason I get so aggravated. If a CELL PHONE causes someone to act that way, I want no parts of it or them.

It's dumb, isn't it?? I get that and I have an IPhone. Mostly from younger hipster types: "ooo look at that" I'm not saying it to brag, as I said earlier, I liked my Android better. Droid Max! As a matter of fact, I liked my Blackberry the BEST. I did brag when I had the big shoebox sized Mobile Phone! I had one in my car, I worked for Cellular One. I would point it out to people: Look at THIS!" Technology. Otherwise...no I don't see it as a status symbol, just preferences.

That was awful cute, I think we've all felt that level of elation at some point in our lives. I'd hope.

I speed wag my tail too. Running laps around the object of my affection! Then I pant with my tongue hanging out the left side of my mouth - always the left side.
