• I friggin' hate Apple fanboys. Need advice.
    18 replies, posted
So, 2 coworkers who I work with own Apple products. "Guy A" owns an iPod touch and a Macbook and "Guy B" has recently purchased an iPhone 4S (a little more on this guy later). I'm totally cool with that--seriously, I really am, except that they're probably the most annoying Apple fanboys I've ever seen. Guy B, who has recently purchased an iPhone 4S, is like, a totally different person now. Apparently owning an iPhone gives you the right to be an elitist prick and bash Android non-stop. [B]NON-STOP.[/B] Now, when these 2 get together, they never waste an opportunity to speak of how wonderful it is to own an iPod, to own an iPhone and how versatile it is, or how convenient and simple it is to use an Apple service. So far I've been avoiding the heated discussions "Android vs iOS" where they're in, but I'm just fed up with them. I'm now past the point of "just ignore them". I want to shut these 2 snobby fuckers up [B]for good[/B]. I've been thinking of a few zingers to use on them, but they're pretty weak. Still working on that, even though I don't care too much about Android or iOS (I own a Nokia N900). So, FP, I ask you: How do you deal with a fanboy--in this particular case, 2 rabid Apple fanboys, on a daily basis? Any guidance will be much appreciated!

Remove their testicles.
Ask them to do a drop test. 1 meter. Stone floor. No covers. Be :smug: all day.
[QUOTE=Lebowski;33617159]Remove their testicles.[/QUOTE] I'll keep that in mind. [QUOTE=ItWasNiceToKnow;33617167]Ask them to do a drop test. 1 meter. Stone floor. No covers. Be :smug: all day.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure Guy B would not go for it

[QUOTE=ItWasNiceToKnow;33617167]Ask them to do a drop test. 1 meter. Stone floor. No covers. Be :smug: all day.[/QUOTE] I drop my ipod touch on the floor every couple of days, It works fine.

[editline]7th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=mankind_me;33617198]either this or buy a galaxy s2/galaxy nexus and shove it in their faces[/QUOTE] Well I did show off my N900 I few couple times, they didn't look amused :v:

Ask them how their bluetooth file transfer is going.
Let them have their opinions, just as you have yours. People bash stuff. Leave them fucking be, don't be a prick just because they like things you don't. I can't believe grown men descend into this bitchy 'war' between two tech giants, either way they're both making money, it's ridiculous and pathetic people fight over this kind of thing.
[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;33617234]obviously letting the ramblings of a couple of idiots get to you[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'll give you that. They pretty much put my patience to the test.
Talk about first world problems.

[/quote] wow op you're a genius can't wait to see you blow up with "zings" at two random people that are talking to each other. you'll totally not look like a socially awkward asshole for doing so.
They're only trying to prove it to themselves, just ignore them.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;33617274]Talk about first world problems.[/QUOTE] are you telling me the genocides in africa weren't sparked by stupid shit like iOS vs Android debates?
Tell them that any one who was truly happy with their product wouldn't go out of their way to advertise it, their desperately looking for people to admire their products because they're going through a buyers remorse, so they turn to pushing their beliefs of the product onto other people.

SHUT UP IDIOTS.
