There’s frustration over stuff like dropped calls and tethering troubles, then, you know, there’s Frustration.
The latter was apparently what fueled Donald Goodrich, 38, to threaten to pull a gun on his iPhone at the Kenwood Towne Centre Apple Store in Cinncinati.
Goodrich came in with an iPhone that wasn’t working properly, telling the employee he was “So mad, I could pop a 9mm at it.”
To prove he meant business, Goodrich flashed the employee a gun hidden under his jacket.
The cool-headed employee told Goodrich she’d get his phone fixed and walked him over to a Genius. She then told her manager of his iHomicidal intentions, who called police.
Goodrich was charged with aggravated menacing, causing fear of harm to an Apple employee. He’s expected to be arraigned this morning.
No word on exactly what drove him to want to kill his phone.
Any guesses?
