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.
In the Navy we had this fellow named Arsell. The CO while speaking to the entire group called him Assh*le. The fellow stood up and pronounced his name correctly.
I’d change my name...
Double points if it was a nature or tropical fish/aquarium hobbyist forum or so.
Oh, isn’t it nice that Apple is “looking into it.”
i did read that...
something is wrong here...not sure..we’ll see..If I am proved wrong I will apologize.
But maybe she hates meeces to pieces.
You mean Dick Butkus?
You forgot J. J. Putz.
One more reason why I don’t own an iPhone. Methinks that Apple has some major control issues.
Suing one’s ass will also be denied by the Monster Censor.
During my ‘arcade’ phase as a kid, I gave myself a lewd nickname as well. Didn’t have a single girlfriend for some reason ....
Yes. How long before everything you’ve ever done with it is in the hands of Eric Holder, and ten thousand gubmint monkeys are poring over your every word?
LOL. There used to be an officer in one of our units whose name was Richard Stroker. He used Dick as his first name on many forms and official correspondence. Imagine someone reading something signed by CPT Dick Stroker...
BBBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve seen in Seattle a guy’s name in Chinatown spelled “Phuc Dat.”My friends' brother is named Dung Quoch, last name pronounced kwok. Those crazy half Viet, half Chinese asians, what will they think of next?
I have got to see that movie.
Zer0 will cite the monkeys as “jobs created or saved.”
