Woman Switches Off iPhone Ringer: Geniuses Can't Switch it Back On

We're not sure which is worse: Blogger "khall356" taking her iPhone back to the Apple Store because the ringer was switched off, or the Apple Store "Genius" who reinstalled the system software twice and still didn't realize he just had to flip the ringer switch to fix the problem. Having lost all her custom settings, address book contacts and the like, khall356 went back to the store the next day, but this time took her husband Chris.

Geniusbar LogoWe're not sure which is worse: Blogger "khall356" (aka TV screenwriter Karen Hall) taking her iPhone back to the Apple Store because the ringer was switched off, or the Apple Store "Genius" who reinstalled the system software twice and still didn't realize he just had to flip the ringer switch to fix the problem.

Having lost all her custom settings, address book contacts and the like, Hall went back to the store the next day, but this time took her husband Chris. After another lengthy wait, the manager came out and delivered a RTFM moment:

You see this little switch here? That's how you silence the ring without going into the settings.

Fortunately, action has been taken. Fake Steve Jobs reports:

Meanwhile we've also fired the frigtards at that Orlando store who did not know how to flip a f***ing switch on a phone. That's the good news. Bad news is they all were immediately hired by Geek Squad.

Hilarious, and a little sad.

Hey lady? There's this expression -- RTFM. Have you heard of it? [FSJ]
