My Experience With Fanboys During iPhone Launch

Boy do i hate fan boys. If Anything I've always had an issue in particular with Apple fan boys, and not just because i prefer my computers that run windows, because i do have iPhone products, so i myself am not a fan boy invading enemy territory. But every time a product of their's launched the Apple fans are SO immaturely excited people online and offline, it's not even funny. Yeah sure you can smile a little bit and say, ah their just having fun. Least that's what i was trying to do when the 1st iPhone launched a few years ago. I was a day after launch at my Local Apple store, and after waiting in line behind a bunch of cooks who Could not act normal for even a minute, i finally got inside to just get a few initial impressions on the product. Well after 10 seconds of looking at it and just unlocking the screen with my finger, i was immediately Shoved out of the way by some pompous ass and his girlfriend. He simply said loudly "get out of the way please" in a voice that seamed exhausting like he couldn't wait any longer to get his hands on it. And the funniest thing is Nobody said or did a thing about it, i got up and confronted the man and while speaking to him, he ignored me playing with the iPhone and his girlfriend started talking me out. I don't take stuff like this well, but i was feeling nice, i gave this ignorant ass and his cow of a woman a few minutes to play with the iPhone. That went on for bout 20 minutes longer then i anticipated, i'm not this desperate to look at it? i just don't plan on returning to look at one right away as i have better things to do.

So i walked up and grabbed the iPhone out of his hand, Store associate standing right their, who had previously watched this man who shoved me out of the way to get his hands on a phone for god sake. The Associate gets mad at me for grabbing it from his hand. I through the Phone at him, he caught it, i stormed out in disbelief as all his cook of fan boys are screaming and shouting "Apple this" iPhone that". I probably shouldn't of through the Phone at the sales associate but it's not like the sales associate would be working their a few years later when i returned to actually buy an iPhone 3G. The day i bought one, the box containing it was almost snatched out of my hand.

After all of this, i have no intentions of being anywhere near An Apple dealer during the iPhone 4 launch, and Etc.

Is their ANY REASON why Apple fans, have to be SO IMMATURE. OH MY THE WAY THE BOX OPENS - Chris <3 that was awesome. Like come on? I wasn't screaming and jumping and CAMPING for Windows 7? no...it was a Christmas gift a few months after it launched. I wasn't running down the stairs shouting stuff because it's finally here. I was just like "Cool" greeted the deliver guy, said my thank yous and put it on the table, continued what i was doing. With Apple, things are more dramatic. People are Tearing the Box open, slowly, or fast, RECORDING IT, as if it's the best thing that ever happened to them. Some of them acting so retarded it's rather insulting to geeks i think. We take our technology seriously yes, but we should be mature about it, not fanboy retarded. Cause if your a fanboy, your not really a geek. Geek's enjoy it all, they have preferences yes, but they enjoy it all!.

So why is it that on launch days for certain products from Apple people are camping, Lined up, And freaking out. IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF DEAL?

Lol Well, I Don't Exactly hate apple, While i do have issues that i am slowly trying to resolve when it comes to the computers. MAN ARE their fanboys ridiculous? I SHOULDA punched that guy right out.
Would that of been reasonable nah? croud of cult members waiting to jump someone.

Hmm Microsoft fanboys? for their software maybe, who doesn't have fanboys.
Microsoft doesn't make hardware though, well computer hardware anyway, Just the Xbox 360 and Zune, And the Xbox has a mad Base of fanboys, which is BS.!!
