    Default Technology woes!

    So I've had some pretty rough times when it comes to my gadgets and whatnot in the past few months. Since January, my laptop has broken, my US phone didn't work, my camera broke, two external harddrives have broken, my tv died, my Australian phone was smashed, my troutty replacement nokia phone was smashed (neither by me btw) and my PS3 is currently suffering some corruption after I just turned it on. :/

    Anybody else seem to deal with this crap on a regular basis? What stops you from throwing things out the window?

    I'm pretty good with technology. You know who is bad like you are? Cim. He's horrible.

    I generally have good luck as long if I am given the right equipment. The laptop I am currently using is still operating as if I've only had it for a couple of months instead of over a year.

    My iphone vibrates.

    So scary. Is it suppose to be a sex toy or a phone?

    I'm good with technology and things rarely break down. Often times, I can repair them if they do.

    I'm pretty good with technology. I keep laptops for an average of 4+ years in good condition, and then only upgrade because I want to. The only phone I've ever needed replaced was in high school when I kept throwing my crappy cell phone into my gym bag and apparently the sweat over time caused water damage. I've never had a problem with a console, with the sole exception of replacing the fan in my original PS2 (which still works, as far as I know).

    Jojee is the worst person I know for this sort of thing. She's constantly breaking laptops, phones, herself, and anything she comes into contact with.

    I saw a friend's 360 get a red ring of death before. When it happened to him, I sang, "Red Ring of Death!" to the tune of the Chia Pet commercials.

    When it comes to cars I guess, I'm bad with those. And I don't do anything horrible when driving or anything .I just have bad luck. Like my transmission is out right now. My AC went out the other day. I randomly will get flats. I just have horrible luck with cars.

    Let's be honest, Jiro--it's not technology, you're just a hot mess.

    I'm pretty good with technology. Except my DSlite has a crack at the joint and my Nook has cracks on both of the "next page" buttons.

    Half of the broken items were "returned" to me broken when I got back from the US. They worked perfectly fine when I left. It's not my damned fault

    Steve I did stick to 360, except I'm not a fanboy so I can share the love. Plus, the 360 has given me far more problems. I'm on my fourth console, smurfing things keep RRoDing

    Technology loves me and I love technology. I haven't had anything break down on me due to any carelessness. I'm good with that kind of stuff. Now fixing them is a different thing, since I rarely get my stuff broken, they don't need fixin', so I'm not really that great with fixing things. I can probably learn how to if I have instructions to follow.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
