"Cool! Is that an iPod?"

I always have my earphones in so no one ever talks to me :-)

Actually I very seldom get asked about my ipod. Though the other day one of my professors asked what it was. and before I could tell him a classmate said: His hearing aid. And the professors response. Why does he always put it on AFTER I'm done talking then! (he knew it was a joke)

Cheers,
Stu

EVERYONE asks how much it costs
it gets pretty annoying
"how much was that??"
"about $650" (canadian)
"whoaaaaa youre nuts dude"
"no... actually...im not"

Yeah, I hate having to justify spending 400+$ for my baby. what if it really was your baby and over the rest of your life you had to put out millions. Like what if they wen to 50000$ a semester prep school for 12 years then went to a 200000$ a year college. That would be AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

yo, love it. it's your entire music collection in your palm. front it! do you knoiw how many people don't have a clue about mp3 players, let alone ipods? you're an ipod god. be cocky. be a fool. it's ok. it's going to be an ipod world, let these people know it!

I really don't want people talking to me about my iPod. I not that all materialistic, I just like stuff that works. My iPod works plain and simple, I really don't give a rat's booty whether I paid $400 to $500 bucks for it. That is my business. I worked hard and that is what I spend my money on. Everyone else can just kiss my mother (shut your mouth)!

yea im pretty discrete with mine but whenever someone does get a glimpse of it, they are always facinated. always impresses them when i tell them i have 1300 songs on it (then i think to myself only 1300 songs :)). there are a ton of them at my school. off the top of my head, i can name atleast 8 people with an ipod who use it regularly... keep in mind my school is only about 500 people

My school's 2000 and I can think of at least 15 people off the top of my head who own one, and more than that who are determined to get one by Christmas at least.

I've only had my iPod for a few weeks, and the first time I brought it to school everyone needs to see it. I didn't think it would be that bad...but it is, and it's actually very annoying. In my school of 1000, I don't know anyone else who has an iPod.

It's funny how, every single person who's seen it, has asked me how much it costs. And they always ask for some sort of justification for paying that price.

The first time I brought it to math class, about 10 people crowded around my desk. :rolleyes: And of course...they have to talk to me, when I'm listening to music. LOL

I make sure I don't show them any music they'd like...that way they don't have an excuse for wanting to listen to it.:D

i only know one other person with an ipod and his is 20gb 2g (mine is 20gb 3g) so everyone is quite impressed by mine.

hehe same thing over here.. at work mostly, well it ain't cheap but it is a technological masterpiece for the simple user to the audiophile. some of my friends laugh at me when they ask the price and tell them it was almost two weeks of hardworking ;)

Well my friends like it, or at least the ones that ive told about it. One of my friends got mad at me because i wouldn't let him listen to it because i had a pair of ex71's and i didnt want his ear wax on them. :D

I'm usually VERY secretive about mine.
I don't "wear" it so much as I "hide" it.

Bascially, because I work in a pretty lousy part of town, and I don't want to get jumped for it.
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but, better safe than sorry.

I know what you guys are saying about having to justify the expense. Even when I say stuff like "well...most of my CD collection is on here and it's not even half full" they still don't seem to get it (as they fumble around with one of those dumb CD wallets) :rolleyes:

Your probably showing it off if your having everyone ask you that question. I have it hidden away with only the white ear buds visible when i'm out and about with it.

If you are using those white earbuds. you may as well be holding the thing above your head with both hands. I keep mine in my pocked and use different headphones. I don't like people knowing that I'm geeky/trendy enough to spend $400 on a toy.

yeah. i have two ipods. i got sick of people going on about it, although it was funny at first. "whoa, you have 2 ipods? how important are you?" blah blah. seems people can stick 20+ wheels on their escalades and not be bothered, i go for the music bling bling? it's a nuisance. but it was kinda cool. by old 2nd gen 20 gb may be brought back out for effect. i dunno. my 30 is so sweet.

i was even told employees at my place of work were making fun of me, but give me a break, i had a large cd collection. i want a 200 gb ipod. then i won't wear two.

everyone else, wear your ipod as loudly as you can! it's one heck of a conversation piece. you can pick up chicks with it! (i have...)

I get the same question all the time. "Why do you need TWO iPods?!?"
Oh I don't know, because I can, or I want to , or as someone else pointed out I worked for my money and if that?s what I want to buy then so be it.
Mostly it?s because when the 3rd Gens came out I was not ready to give up on my classic goodness ;)
Plus the battery life on the 2nd Gen helps out when I know I will be away from a power source for awhile but will be listening to music throughout the day.

My girlfriend is on me all the time to put one of the twins up for adoption on EBay. Well I don't think so................ :D
