The iPhone: A Breakthrough in G00b Repellant

Although the Valentine's Day season is long-gone, Seattle is still rife with g00bs of all shapes and sizes! April submitted her run-in with one of Seattle's finest g00bs, and you know the party hasn't stopped on my end. Let's get g00bin'!

I was outside of a venue in Ballard during a show when a sexy musician from the opening band approached me and struck up a really great conversation. We discussed our current projects and we were getting a little flirty—shuffling feet and standing closer and closer together. So promising was this encounter that he invited me to his next show in two weeks. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, saying something to the effect of "Hey, let me put that in my calendar."

And then... something, uh, happened...? He replied, "Look, don't get the wrong idea! I'm not asking for your number, okay?"

"Uh, hey... I'm just putting your show in my calendar so i don't forget...? I really want to check it out!"

"Yeah, well, don't get the wrong idea... I just want you to come to my show, nothing else. I'm not trying to get your number or anything."

I laughed because I thought he must be joking, trying to be "West Coast ironic" or something. No, he then backed away from me like I was diseased, terrible-smelling, and/or carrying a gun.

What the HELL was that, PlatKat? Is it because of my pretentious iPhone?! HALP!

Addendum: No April, I can almost guarantee that the type of phone you carry is not the problem here.
