Ever wonder what a fanboy syndrome is? It's when you tell somebody something about a product they use and they get all pissy.
Let's look at a few examples:
BMW (and Benz) owners:
He tells you he is buying a BMW in a few days. You respond by simply saying, "Might want to buy 2, as you'll need it when your main is always in the shop." He fires back by saying how he's never had an issues with his Bimmers and yada yada.
Lexus owners:
You tell someone that he could have saved 10 grand by buying a V6 Camry XLE over that Lexus ES350. He retorts that he wouldn't be caught dead in a Toyota and they the Lexus is a much better car, even though the only thing different about the 2 vehicles is the dashboard and head/taillights.
People who drive when talking on a cell phone:
You tell them that they should invest in a hands-free, and they tell you that drivers while jabbering is no dangerous than reaching over to change the station, yet it's been reported that driving while talking increases the chance of an accident by 95%.
Dell computer owners:
You tell them instead of a Dell why don't they go with an ABS or Velocity Micro. They tell you it's because of the name and the great support. Then when they have an issue they complain that they can't understand a single word the Dell techs are saying (meanwhile, ABS and VM have US-based tech support).
Yeah I know, slow news day.
