Woman's Request For iPhone Repair Denied Because Of Last Name
WOKV ^ | July 20, 2010 | Adam Kirk

Posted on 07/20/2010 3:37:11 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Another embarrassing moment for Apple and their iPhone. A woman from Orange Park said she can't get her phone fixed, because Apple's automated software doesn't like her last name.

Sandy Burdick told our news partner Channel 4 the Apple website would not let her set an appointment to have her phone fixed, because of her last name.

"It stopped me. It said, 'You have put in an inappropriate word in this line.' I thought I must have a typo," she said.

Burdick's son even called customer service, and he claims they told him they couldn't do anything about it. "She paused for a second. She couldn't even put it in her system," he said.

The company said it's looking into the problem.

Yeah, but her cousin Buster Hymen, and his pal Craven Morehead have had similar difficulties in the past.

I’ve seen in Seattle a guy’s name in Chinatown spelled “Phuc Dat.” I am not joking. The first time I saw it I laughed so hard I almost ran off the road.

I remember an anti-Nixon bumper sticker from long ago.

It said “Lick Dick in ‘72”.

Liberals have such class.

Do you have a reading problem? The last name was in the posted article.

ComeCulturedGirl seems to have reading comprehension problems; however, she(?) is a lot of fun.

Based upon the poster's FReep Page, ComeCulturedGirl may be a dead, football playing orca.

There is a fairly common Scottish surname of “Cockburn” (pronounced Co-burn), and I have met folks with the last names of Badcock and Glasscock.

Knew a fella years ago named Richard Skinner. However, he went by Rick instead of Dick...prolly on purpose.

I used to post on a forum that wouldn’t allow “saltwater”, you had to say “salt water”. Software programs really arn’t intelligent.
