Not sure if I'm Woody Allen, or Larry David

I can actually post a long list of incidents that have happened to me that others might find comical - but I'm in the midst of one now, and want to rant, in order to vent. I'm sure I'll find this amusing one day. I don't right now.

I dropped my phone and smashed the screen on Fri. Immediately took it to a local phone place to get it fixed as I REALLY need my phone, and it was smashed to crumbs. Place tells me cash only, I roll my eyes, but I NEED the phone. I do it. Find out yesterday the camera doesn't work. I go back... bla, bla, bla...

They need my pin in order to fix it and I have to leave it for 2 hrs. I reluctantly do that because I'm desperate, and because all my 20 yr. old friends assured me that's standard practice if they're going to fix things. I'm of course very nervous about this, and make sure I'm back in an hour - though I know they can wipe me clean in 10 minutes if they wanted to.

I start getting towards the store and see lots of lights flashing. 3 police vans and an ambulance on the corner of the store. I go to walk in and I'm confronted by the cops. There are about 10 of them in there. "Sorry, you can't come in!" "But.... but, but.... my phone...." "I said, you can't come in." Come back later.

To be continued...

 

The short story is that the store got robbed. The woman working the counter got a little beat up but she’s ok. My phone is gone. My phone wasn’t backed up, even though I just paid iCloud to upgrade my storage.

Next few days is going to be lots of fun for me. Spent a couple of hours with police, and filled out a victim report. I’ll add details when I get a chance.
