Avoided some horror: The swollen battery

Thank goodness that I was able to rid myself of this swollen battery before it exploded on me.

I noticed that the rechargeable battery had fallen out of the device in question and when I went to reinsert it, it did not fit.
I felt the battery a bit more carefully and then noticed the problem.
The battery was swollen.
Time for a replacement.

A few years ago the same thing happened with my iphone but this time the home button was the savior for me.
I noticed that the home button could  not be pressed and I took my iphone to the Apple Store.
Problem solved; it was a swollen battery.

A different experience: Communicating at the Apple store

A few months ago I had a very interesting experience at the Apple Store. For the most part, I am always very satisfied with the communication that I encounter there but this was a bit different and also a bit amusing for me.

Upon entering, the very friendly customer service rep escorted me to a spot towards the back of the store and I did not have long to wait. When the Genius Bar person came over to work with me, my friend told me that she was

hard of hearing. My first impression was mixed.

For whereas I felt that it was great to have a hard of hearing Genius Bar person working for Apple, I did not think that this would work because how would I be able to communicate with her when I could not see her gestures?

It would be very difficult for us to communicate; a person who was hard of hearing and a vision-impaired person?  The Apple supervisor realized immediately. I was very sorry about the situation but all ended well.
