Moral of the story: Don&#039;t lose your iPod

Julio Ojeda-Zapata of the St. Paul Pioneer Press has posted an amusing story to his blog regarding a lost iPod. Apparently, someone had misplaced an iPod in the office, and a good Samaritan tried to return it to its rightful owner by sending out the following email:

"I found an Apple iPod on top of the coat closet by the elevators at 4:45 today. This is the big, expensive model, not the smaller iPod Shuffle. Email me or call (me)."

Julio goes on to say that, just a short time later, a follow-up email was sent out, which said (in part), "...In about two minutes, I got 19 responses to the email about the lost iPod, including several half-hearted and quite funny attempts to claim it..." *

Yikes! That sounds like a script from The Office. The moral of the story: Don't bring your iPod to the water cooler.

*It was eventually returned to its rightful owner.

"One of the big, expensive models, not the cheap ass ones that the likes of us can afford. Hey, so how did you get a bonus when I didn't? Are you sleeping with the boss or something? So, let's just check your Photos... OH!"

Oh TUAW, you're so easily entertained... *yawn* Same story whenever something cool is lost and someone tries to get it back to the owner. Didn't you ever go to grade school?

yeah...

You'll know it's mine because it's got the intel inside sticker on it.

You'll know it's mine because I got the camo colored one since I hunt.

You'll know it's mine because it's got Britney Spears on it. Yes, I listen to Britney Spears.

You'll know it's mine because it's the biggest one they have. 15GB, yep. That's mine.

You'll know it's mine because it's the one with the spinny thing on the front. That's where the volume goes.

You'll know it's mine because it's got a a scratch on the front.
