“I broke your phone so here, just take my Kilo TT”

“I broke your phone so here’s just take my Kilo TT” is what this guy I’ve met from Craigslist should’ve said.

This story takes place TODAY, September 9th 2024 and I see a kinda beat up green Kilo TT selling for insanely cheap, $40 was the asking price on the listing so I excitingly hop on this deal like it was my last day on earth.

Few messages later and a drive I come check out this bike and boy is it a Kilo TT that needs some work (I don’t care though it’s $40.) I take it for a test ride and I put my phone on the floor of his driveway since I had basketball shorts on and my phone has fell easily from these many times. I begin to start riding around to make sure it doesn’t fall apart on me. As I finish and we’re talking about the bike his mom drives up into the drive way and crushes my phone with the car and I’m instantly upset. I talk to the seller and his mother and they decided that I just take the bike and fix the phone later. I’m still upset that my phone is shattered and I didn’t get any money to fix it but it’s an older iPhone 11 so I didn’t really care that much.

Moral of the story is don’t leave phones vulnerable when you test ride a bike.
