I had an interesting exchange with the Apple representative today. I called to report a problem with my iPhone and that I needed to get a replacement through my Apple Care plan. The rep asked me to describe the problem and the following ensued:
Rep: What's the issue with it?
I: Well, the wheel is not cooperating and instead of responding when I press it, as it should, it responds without my actual pressing down on it. I could be in the middle of a text message and then I get sent back to the main screen. So, the screen is hyper sensitive.
Rep: So, the wheel is not operating as it should and the screen is
being hyper sensitive, right?
I: Right.
Rep: Sorry, it's taking me a while to spell 'sensitive' in my notes here. I'm a guy, you know, I don't do well with 'sensitive.' Ha, ha ....
I: No worries. Take your time. I'm a girl and I don't do well with 'sensitive' either, you know? So, it's all good.
And then he proceeded to laugh for a bundle of seconds. The rep was most helpful and I suppose a bit of self-effacing humor expedites the fastest of solutions. And that would be the moral of the story.
