My Sept 2nd Technological embarassment

(Yes, it’s a month and a half late…it’s still funny. Perhaps we can make Spet 2nd Technological Embarrasment Day)

I’m in the Men’s room, answering the call of nature. I’m reading the news on my phone. The article says that ‘ping’, the social component of iTunes was made available on all iPhones last night.

Curiosity gets the better of me and I switch over to iTunes…sure enough, there’s a ‘ping’ button, and the screen has a section that says:

“People Who Follow Me: No one is following you”

This strikes me as sadly humorous, so I decide to make a screen grab of the message to show my cow-orkers. You do so by pressing the menu and power buttons at the same time…at which point, the phone makes a click noise like a camera. In the Men’s Room. And I’m not alone.

.

Awkward.

Why, doesn’t everyone take pictures in there?

After the click sound, you should have said, “Ha! They’ll believe me NOW!” and just let the others wonder.

I love threads like this

Looking at my cow-orkers…God I hope not!
