Actually I withdraw that… he shouldn’t because that is gonna be wayy to obvious to his parents… you have to look at the context of the situtation rather…
Get your mom or dad (whoever u wanna break it to) a couple presents or something just simple after you go out somewhere with your friends nothing large (u do go out w/ ur friends right?) Then after 2 presents come home from school and say that you broke it that day... and do the usual suck up attitude or something… it should be easy since you have so many “resources” you should be able to find someone who will come home with you or something and then they can stand next to you so your parents… even if they wanted… could only get so mad at you…
I will apologize to all the touchy feely people ahead of time for what I am about to say.
Get it fixed or buy a new one YOURSELF! That’s what I did when I was a kid. If there was something I wanted I bought it myself. Why depend on your parents for everything. Stop being a leech on your parents and get a job or do some work around the house for the money. Maybe next time you won’t be so haphazard with your possessions. ....To spoiled to wash cars…
Its not really going to help if they are going to send the IPOD out in a few months time which is exactly what they are going to do. I do not really understand your reluctance to confess. Its not really a big deal, just tell them what happened. Parents do have a knack of understanding things when you least expect them to. Its the way they work if you ask me. Just tell them what you told us. If they throw you out of the house, we’ll get you a new IPOD.

i got thrown out of my house… do i get an ipod :D
[quote author=“drachen”]Back in our day, we had to listen to music on big black dinner plates that skipped. And we liked it.
hey! i’m actually looking for a good turn table! i don’t want to dj, but i just love the crackling sound
[quote author=“Sony Vaio”]the whole thread is a nothing but a ridicoulus joke…
True, I think. Now looking back on it, it’s still really funny.
Send cash to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) via Paypal if you want to help me get an iPod. I’m a poor starving college student who’s been on this board for a longer time, and thusly, i deserve it more! I’ll wash cars, but if you wanna send me 0.50$, I’ll be happy!
The only way to get an iPod quickly and for free is… steal it. Nobody will just give you one for being such a great guy. Learning this is part of growing up…
Someone here did sign up and I appreciate it SOOO much. No they aren’t understanding when the just spend 470 some dollars a week before for it… and I have learned my lesson that people here are unprofession and immature in their responses and that coming here for any form of help is useless. To those who were somewhat simpathetic thanks. This wasn’t a joke and you guys aren’t in my place (majority of you have jobs, earning another 470+ isn’t so easy)... so like I said I wont come here for help any more when no one can take stuff serious but rather make me and the situation a joke…. bye
One more thing.. it’s interesting that you can behave your age when other people need help, so when I come all you do is mock me and my situation….. this place seemed great.. now it’s useless
I don’t think anybody’s mocking you at all; just pointing out how unrealistic it is to expect a free iPod to pop out instantaneously just because someone wants one then and there.
Sorry for your accident, but, other than you BUYING a replacement one, your parents are going to find out and you’ll have to face the music. It’s part of “growing up” as you implied. Perhaps your parents will decide that you are not responsible enough for similar luxuries yet, as set by your example. All the best to you, whatever happens…
Dude… I don’t have a job… there a plenty of ways to get some money and overall, your the one being immature here… as babahi pointed out iPods don’t just spring out back to you when you suddenly need one. Fess up and grow up… if your attending “the second best” in DC and “have to many cars” to clean… your parents have enough money to buy you another one without noticing…
Messed up people on this board? I doubt so, I think people, as all people are, have their own opinions and their own way of thinking. There is no way that one can accuse another’s thinking to be false or wrong. What is false and what is wrong? Its just a figment of your own thinking/opinion; “one man’s meat may be another’s poison.”
So, wise up lil’ guy, if you can’t take true opinions, there is no way you can brand others as being immature. Take a mirror and look yourself in it and ask: “Am I really mature?”.
I am sad that because of this “tiny incident”, you have proclaimed that the people in this forum are such low class imbeciles. There is a lot more in life that you have to learn about; learning to own up for your wrongdoings is just a teeny weeny bit of the whole chunk, it is only the beginning…

Well said. Seriously, you readily admit you’re spoiled and yet you’re asking others to help you out when you’re not willing to fess up about it to your parents whether it was truly an accident or your own irresponsibility (i.e. your parents told you not to take it to school). It might be a different story if you had broke it, told your parents and then they told you that you weren’t getting a new one and would have to work it off. You then you could have come to this site and asked people to help you out. I’m sure many would be more sympathetic (although they may still not help financially).
