Okay, I get it now. I understand why they are called “Crackberries.” I got a Blackberry yesterday and I LOVE it. The gal who helped me out at the phone store, Lindsey, even turned me onto a website devoted to Blackberry gear and tips… it’s even called www.CrackBerry.com. The weirdest thing happened while I was at the Verizon store though. While I was at the counter with Lindsey setting up my new phone, there was a dude behind her with a clipboard the whole time. He was kinda freaking me out so I asked her if she was getting reviewed or something. “Yeah,” she said. “He’s a corporate guy in today watching each of us randomly with customers.” So I loudly announced “Lindsey, you’re doing a GREAT job. I’ve never been happier buying something before ever in the history of ever!” The guy looked up and I asked him “forget about her, am I doing an okay job?” He looked mildly annoyed and walked away. Whoa,” I thought. “I just failed! He thinks I’m a bad customer!”
New term to add to your vocabulary:
CAPS LOCK VOICE -- When a normally calm person has to raise their voice and use an authoritative tone. It is the equivalent to using the caps lock key in the digital world. “Hey, settle down… don’t use your caps lock voice with me.”
