“An unfaithful tech-crazy guy has been taught a lesson he won’t forget by his long-suffering girlfriend,” Mia Tahara-Stubbs reports for CNBC.
“A tweet complete with a photo of a bathtub full of drowning electronic gadgets has been doing the rounds on social media,” Tahara-Stubbs reports. “‘Got caught cheating but isn’t dumping all my gadgets in the bath too messed up?'”
Tahara-Stubbs reports, “Japanese user @foolishnessfly2 was found out by his girlfriend who then sent him a picture of his Apple gadgets sinking in a bathtub full of water. Apparently, his girlfriend sent the photo of his drowned gadgets to his work flip phone…”

MacDailyNews Take: Ouch!
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Scott M.” for the heads up.]
Ouch! Hit him where it really hurts! I guess he wishes he locked up his Apple products & left the Samsung products out!
Nope, no sympathy for him at all. I say he hurt her bad enough for her to do this, then he got off easy.
Hell hath no fury….

Nope, I’m a guy. Heterosexual even.
One way to flush your ex-Bfriend.
Well, like Letterman says: “Treat a lady like a whore, and a whore like a lady.”
Okay, probably not applicable here, but it’s so politically incorrect it’s funny.
Or: I guess he wishes he locked up his wahoo behind his zipper. The best Apple products protection in this case is infidelity protection.
Really?? Is nobody else concerned that this guy carries a “Flip Phone” at work??
Guy was obviously a jerk for his behavior, although her actions were criminal. She should be arrested and prosecuted. After all she chose this moron. She bears responsibility for her actions not matter what this fool did.
Trying to figure out why people down-voted your comment when nothing you said is controversial in the least. Very poor moral behavior by one person doesn’t justify destructive criminal behavior by another.
Her actions were criminal? Clearly you think it is perfectly okay to cheat on your girlfriend.
The law may back you up, but that does not mean the law is just or you are right to feel this way. He had it coming I say.
We’re assuming he did cheat on her. Whether he did or not is immaterial, she destroyed thousands of dollars worth of his property. While it’s understandable, it’s not acceptable.
How does stating a fact of law equate to him accepting infidelity? If your significant other is unfaithful that doesn’t give you the “right” to destroy their property. Where do you draw the line? What if she’d trashed his car? Burned his house down? Does the one free felony you seem to think being cheated on entitles you to extend to everything, or just Apple products?

There’s no law against cheating, even tho it can do enormous harm to someone else. There is a law against destroying property even tho it can be easily replaced. The law is not interested injustice or even balance of harm, but really only property, and is typically very parochial, male-dominant, and property focused.
Worshipping the law as if it is somehow a means of justice is to me a sign of a very shallow person.
Clearly you think it is perfectly okay to cheat on your girlfriend.
Really? So I guess calling him a jerk, moron and fool is my supporting his right to cheat.
I think I have a right to my opinion, just as you do.
The law is pretty clear on such destruction of other people’s property.
Obviously cheating is very bad, and as others have said infantile and lame. I think I conveyed that sentiment
Would you feel he had it coming if she had run him down with his car?
“The law is pretty clear on such destruction of other people’s property.

I feel that you reap what you sow, to a larger extent. I would not feel bad for the destruction of his property, but I would draw the line at personally assaulting him with a deadly weapon, removing limbs, or causing permanent disfigurement.
I feel if you cheat on your girlfriend and hurt her and she finds out, you better guard your property, or don’t cry about it. Better yet, don’t cheat.
“I feel that you reap what you sow, to a larger extent”.
I think we can agree on this point. bad behavior over time seems to always came back to haunt you.
I never really thought you would support physical violence, just making a point.
Overall I feel she sacrificed some of her personal integrity for this idiot. Kind of came down to his level.
Never understood this kind of behavior, want to play, fine don’t get involved. find someone you’d rather, fine break up and pursue.
Seems it shows a lack of maturity and selfish and perhaps narcissistic behavior.
Cheating on your girlfriend is legal, destruction of property is not. She’s screwed and not by her boyfriend.
Laws are unjust, have always been so, and always shall be thus. Worshipping the law is the sign of a shallow and morally bankrupt person.
Then he can hunt her down and beat the living shit out of her. Laws are unjust and all that.
My girlfriend cheated on her boyfriend after she met me, three years later in 1991 we were married. Cheating is neither illegal nor immoral before long-term commitments are made. Depending where you live, even cheating isn’t even illegal then, though it is immoral.
The guy was 100% in the right cheating on her since she was obviously a crazy bitch. Would you want to pass the crazy gene to your offspring? A chick that crazy shouldn’t be allowed to breed.
No problem for her.
“I put his things in the tub beacause I was doing some cleaning, reorganizing. Later, I decided to take a bath and forgot they were in the tub when I reached around the curtain to turn the water on”
Ohhh I love it!!
There is a difference between stupid and crazy. Either way she should have her ovaries removed. We don’t need her contaminating the gene pool.
Hmmm. Do a DNA swab on every person to find anyone with a genetic relationship to her. Remove ovaries or CASTRATE those people. You don’t mind being a soprano do you mpias3785?
Once we have the technology to detect and repair the genetic sequences responsible for a propensity to be bat shit crazy, it should be considered. A predilection for exacting revenge by committing criminal acts is not something we want in our DNA.
That guy is the luckiest guy on the planet. He has every Apple device known to man. He’s getting it from at least two different girls and now he has evidence to get all his Apple devices replaced.
New haptic trackpad here we come!
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…
Oops. Good job. I missed that you beat me to it!
If you catch someone cheating on you, the appropriate action is to leave them. Destroying their property is infantile, and punishable by law.

“If you catch someone cheating on you, the appropriate action is to leave them. ”
Great advice. lol.
When the guy cheats which mean he knows where the relationship ends up to. The lady needs to lick her wounds and throwing herself out to the market again.
The laws are unjust, plenty of things are “punishable by law”.
Slaves escaping was once “punishable by law”.
I agree she should leave him also, but I do not feel she did anything wrong.
Plus, there are plenty of non-criminal ways to humiliate someone on the internet.
——RM
She should have done those also.
Plenty of chauvinistic pigs who think it is perfectly acceptable to cheat on your girlfriend and you should face no consequences for it voting down my comments. The rating system is for cowards, post a comment if you disagree.
Both are not acceptable.. Only one at this time is illegal.. Instead of complaining call your reps and work with them and others of he same mind to create the bills for the laws you feel should be made. That’s how things in the eye of the law become legal or illegal.
How can you say both are unacceptable? One is the criminal destruction of property, the other is an accepted way of finding the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. They weren’t married, they were merely dating. If they were married this would be an entirely different discussion. They were only dating and her reaction clearly demonstrated that she was nuts and was a prime candidate to be cheated upon. She had every right to be pissed but no right at all to damage his possessions.
If you think that there should be laws against cheating while dating, you’re even crazier than she is.
I’m sorry, I thought you had to be going steady (still dating, but agreed to be exclusive) to be able to ‘cheat’.. I would not consider dating others if you’re only ‘dating’ cheating in any sense.. So you are saying then that dating others when you both agreed to be exclusive IS ok. I say break up before dating others if you are in a steady relationship.
What’s chauvinistic about cheating? Dating is like shopping, you pick up something defective you put it back and replace it with something better. This girlfriend was obviously defective. Crazy might be fun in bed, but would you want to live with that for the rest of your life?
He lucked out. She committed a crime, documented it, and now he gets all new stuff and a better girlfriend.
iCloud backup don’t fail me now!!!
And this is why you have offsite backups!
I see there’s a Time Capsule there… hope he has another cloud backup…
Heh, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” 😡😈😠😤😰😱😾
I hope she put salt in the water.
On the plus side, he still has his flip phone to comfort him on cold nights.
Ha ha.. cute. I hope it was a Samsung flip phone.
Oh! The Humanity!
Indeed, only in Japan can a 27-inch iMac be completely submerged in a home bathtub. And revenge so well-orchestrated that the iMac is removed and replaced with a SECOND scene of destruction, where the laptops are carefully segregated (under water) from his other gadgets.
He’s lucky there is one thing NOT floating in the bath tub.
Literally down the drain.
Can anyone identify all the products in the tub?
Then we could put a minimum and maximum value on the destruction.
I’m not in favor of destruction but I’m with the girlfriend on this one…..
There is nothing wrong with these Apple products if they are dried out soon enough. There is a small chance of corrosion but really, no harm done.
Plenty of uncooked rice available to help things dry out … then eBay? I didn’t see any bullet holes…

In defending her action, you must be very wealthy entrail readers or Venice Beach psychics to know she isn’t a whacko, a stalker, a liar or all three.
Nice bathtub, gives a whole new meaning to Apples’ aquatic ecosystem.
Her actions were childish and criminal. She destroyed his property. There is no justification for what she did and he would be within his rights to file charges.
So he cheated on you! Well, a former girl friend of mine cheated on me and when she called me I hung up on her as there was nothing to discuss.
So Boo Hoo lady! Dump the jerk and move on. Giving in to your rage is only giving power over you to him.
The guy won’t press charges or else face the humiliation. He’s just going to walk away from this.
Isn’t it always the innocent that suffer in messy break-ups?
The infantile reaction of the girl is ample justification for the guy to have gone to another girl.
Rule of thumb “If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always (and only) catch the second person”
The villain becomes the victim and vice-versus.
We talked about this yesterday.
Frankly it’s hilarious. A few things, the systematic drowning of his equipment, particularly the iMac, all by its lonesome. Then, not all of it could be submerged. The AirPort Extreme formed a small island. That tub looks like it has a roll top.
There’s nothing funny about what happened, but little bits here and there just struck a funny bone. Also he wasn’t all Apple, there was some other PC stuff in there as well. I have the feeling he spent more time with the computer, than her. And the affair was the last straw.
