iPod + Car = 0 songs in your pocket ...   Victim: Betty from Kanagawa Prefecture Scene of Accident: Local Road Broken Item: Apple Computer iPod Details of Accident: I'd finished my crappy part-time job and, feeling quite relieved, was on the way home on my scooter. The iPod was in my bag and secured to the tandem seat with a net. While I was weaving in and out of traffic, there was this strange sound from behind..?! I turned around to see what is was and there was my iPod tumbling down the road. I slammed on the brakes and quickly went to retrieve it but it was already too late - a car coming from behind ran over it ..... Damage Amount: The next day, I checked Apple Computer's website and it looks like the repair will cost about 28,000 yen. Maybe I'll just buy an iPod Mini ..... More from the Contributor: At the time I bought my iPod, not many accessories (cases etc) for the 4th generation iPod had been released so I just used it without putting it inside a case - I think that contributed to the damage. Well, whichever way you like at it, being run-over by a car is pretty serious (laughs). I was surprised at the level of damage though, regardless of whether it was run-over or not. I bought it soon after they went on sale and had only been using it for about two months .... Inspired by: http://k-tai.impress.co.jp/cda/readers/crash/21060.html [1] |
