eagle_eye222001 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I guess I should put it in the dryer now...........logical choice. I get home from work. Take shower, bring my laundry down, put a load in. Go do stuff. Couple hours later I get ready to go to my evening class, and I can't find my phone. My sister calls it and says she's hitting my voicemail right away which means it's off. Bad news. I knew I didn't leave it off.....which means....I go open the washer and take the first pair of pants out.....and there's a solid object in the pocket.... I took some solace in that it was a free phone and I got a year out of it. Unfortunately, the next one wasn't free. . Ironically last summer my phone got wet on a float trip. Not on a good pace with phones and summers. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/linkin+park/track/what+ive+done"]Linkin Park - What I've Done[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone _ Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I dropped my phone in the toilet once. After it dried out, it was still functional, except for the zero and the seven keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel*Star Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I bet your parents were understanding. Yes? I think I would hang onto your phone next summer. Apparently summer and your phones don't get along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilllabettt Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 If you remove the battery, and submerge it in dry rice, sometimes you can save it. I've washed my phone and saved it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Mine has been dropped in the bathtub twice and dried out fully functional. The second time the clock was messed up for awhile but that seems to have gone back to normal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the toilet, fish bowl, glasses of water, and bathtub that did my phones in. lol I'm just glad I've never been a sucker for the most expensive phones out there. I'm happy with a dorky little phone, as long as it makes calls and sends texts I'm good. Can you imagine having an iPhone and watching it land in the toilet or bathtub?

CatherineM Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 The only thing I had to worry about my kids drowning in the toilet were my keys or shoes. There was that plumbers bill for a flushed apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I have the tendency to constantly lose my phone, but I always manage to get it back somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
