What are you looking for?

I am a knob.

Mike’s MP3 player is on the fritz. The headphones don’t really work on it. So he’s been looking at getting an iPod.

So, me in my wisdom say “Pass that thing to me, I’ll fix it!” and apply some pressure to the headphone jack. After some wiggling the thing works! Yay!

Then after trying to reposition it, I hear a snap, and the thing goes into the player. Surprisingly, the thing is still working, but my genius self decides to pull out the headphones to see if I can fix it and the piece falls into the void which is the MP3 player.

I feel stupid. I feel bad. I know that he was going to get rid of it anyway in a few weeks, but now he’s out of music for a weeks until he gets an iPod.

Lesson Learned: Don’t let me mess with your stuff.

update: I am loaning him the money to buy an iPod. It’s the least I can do.

    I think you should buy him another one for breaking it!

    I think you are in a “life-debt” situation towards him now.

    Buy him Matt’s old one so Matt can get a ViPod.

    Sounds like a plan, the sooner I buy a Video iPod the sooner the next gen iPods will come out for everyone else.
