A coworker asks me a question:

I need a new phone. Which one should i get?

Without turning to look, I reply simply, "Get an iPhone 5."

I mean, besides an iPhone. I like Android. Which Android phone should I get?

At this point I stop what I'm doing and turn to face my questioner. I've known this person for a few years. Since I've had an iPhone since the 3G1, he's never seen me with any other phone.

I ask, "What would make you think I'm qualified to answer that question? It would be like asking me which Kia you should buy.2"

I can almost see the lightbulb flash above his head as he realizes the error of his ways. He nodded slightly, stood, and left without saying another word.

  1. Of course, I bought the iPhone 3G about a month before the 3GS came out. I didn't know any better. ↩

  2. If you don't know, the answer is none. There is always a better choice than a Kia. Always. ↩
