So I'm in school on Friday and I'm getting ready for lunch. I put my backpack on my locker like I always do til after lunch. So I go to lunch, come back, and see my backpack on the floor...a 6 foot drop from the top of my locker. In the second pocket back in my backpack I store my little best friend, my PalmOne Zire 72. My heart skips a beat as I think about what fate may have befallen my little buddy. As I get to my next class, I open up my Palm's case to find a shattered LCD screen. I can't think straight. And I panic.
Now, I know that my backpack didn't fall by itself because it wasn't near the edge, so that means someone pushed it. Surely it wouldn't be one of my friends, because they all know I keep it there and respect it. (I attend a private school, so I have a small class). For the sake of my dead PDA, I ask who pulled my backpack down. I didn't expect a response. However, I'm horrified to see my one friend laughing and claiming responsibility for it! All he said was "Well, um, sorry." and "You should have insurance". Idiot! He could at least feel remorseful about it!
I went and bought a new PDA, an Axim X51. And an assortment of saftey accesories. RIP, little Palm.
Anyone else have friends that do this kind of junk? Share some stories.
