Munchausen iProxy is a condition where a device owner creates the appearance of problems in a device, typically their own phone. This may include injuring the device (dropping it into a body of water, cracking its screen, etc.) or otherwise altering its operation. They then present the device as being non-functional in the hope of obtaining a newer and better device.
I heard that Karen "dropped her phone in the toilet" the other day, but she was raving about the latest iPhone last week; this seems like a clear case of Munchausen iProxy.

Get the Munchausen iProxy mug.Munchausens is a rare, possibly ficticious, disorder that is perfect to use in a situation where one has to get in or out of a social obligation, family event, or work or school obligation. It is rare enough, that when you mention it, people raise their eyebrows in awe, not wanting to question this serious condition. Works best to say your 'friend' has Munchausens, because if someone actually does Google it, you won't want them to think you really have it. The perfect 'out.'
Chauncy: "Hey Karen, do you want to go with me to Opera in the Park tonight?"
Karen: "Oh, wow, thanks, sounds great... unfortunately my friend Jill... her Munchausens ....it's bad."
Chauncy: "Sounds awful..."
Karen: "yep... Munchausens... " Then look down, wipe a tear. Change subject.
