I'm Mega-Unlucky

[NASAFanboy]

My fifth lighting connector just broke today. Not showing up on computer, not charging, not responding at all. No, do not give me the "Go to Genuis Bar" crap, because I don't have a car/license, and my parents will likely be unwilling to do it for me.

All four of my previous connectors broke, each before two months of usage. I'm pissed.

And no, these are not crappy clones, I ordered them from Apple.com, and I can testify to that.

EDIT : It won't show up on computer, but resumed charging with wall adapter. I'm ordering a six one, just to be safe. All these chargers have been on the same wall-adapters, same outlet, and the old ones worked excellent with it. The new ones....break.

GAH! I WILL SUE YOU IF YOU FORCE ME TO BUY A TENTH ONE!

Your fifth? Oh my god what do you do with them?

I do normal, light usage, but I often use the device while charging. Might be it, but unlikely, as I have done it a bunch of times with other devices, without a single issue arising.

Please tell me.

What is a lighting connector?

Use google, they are Apple designed connectors of some kind.

Screw Apple. Why on Earth do people buy that proprietary crap anyway?

Well, believe it or not, when loyal Apple buyers use Apple products, they get the same feeling a religious person gets from their religion. I'm not on the Apple bandwagon, it seems like a waste of money.

I dislike Apple, but I needed a smart device without a phone bill, and Apples has all the good apps, so I got the iPod Touch.

I feel sorry for Isheep, to hell with apple products, with the exception of these gangsta looking things.http://macspoilers.com/assets/uploads/2012/12/mac-spoilers-vintage-apple-sneakers-04.jpg

Well personally, I think that Apple is an evil guru only seeking to conquer the world. Naaah, just joking; I think that Apple products are quite pretty, and THAT'S accounting for Apple's success ( Just my ideas. No offense intended ). Technically, they aren't compatible with lot's of software, ( I'm mainly Windows ) ; however, the OS is normal and the UI is soooo beautiful

P.S : Concerning all said above, these are just my ideas, just think of them as point of views.
