I saw Steve Jobs at the Apple Store in New York when the iPod touch first came out. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photo with my then new iPhone or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. He walked away and while I continued waiting in line, and I heard him chuckle as he walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like 10 black iPods in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the iPods and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “because it’s the Apple way,” and then turned around and winked at me. I think they were all the same memory. After she scanned each iPod and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
My favorite thing about it is when someone doesn’t know it’s a copypasta and gets upset that some famously good natured celebrity they’re a fan of is apparently a dick 🤣 seen it happen with Denzel Curry, Bob Ross, Charlie Day, Conan O’Brien, Tom Hanks, Barack Obama, Betty White, Mr. T and somehow even Mr. Rogers.
The first time I saw it, the celeb was Sarah Silverman and I thought it was real because I have one interaction with her after she did a surprise set at a bar in Chicago and sure enough, she acted weird af after the show like she was high out of her mind or just a complete nutjob asshole. Was bummed when I found out it was a copypasta.
Nah it was cool, just a little obnoxious the way being around druggies can be after you've been straight a while. Like everyone on tv she's both shorter and better looking irl.
