one of the callers or writers had a wife who in the last month had dropped 2 cell phones and a new digital camera in a toilet.A man dropped his Ipod in the head on a plane. A stewardess found it. The plane was grounded, and homeland security handled the removal of the "possible explosive".

12/13/2008 2:03:40 AM
dad generally works just as well for whiny begging
12/13/2008 2:07:41 AM
for a man that doesn't really like any of his 6 children, it helps to lay it on thick!

I have an awesome cell phone storyso I've dropped well over my share of phones in toilets, sinks, beers, lakes, toilets, puddles and toilets, and I've learned a lot. The most resilient, by far, are Nextel's Motorola phones. Those suckers will take a thrashing and keep on truckin', or at least they used to. I did permanently destroy one, however, when I decided to take an impromptu swan dive off the bow of my dad's anchored boat. I realize mid-air that my phone is comfortably nestled in the single, securely Velcro'd cargo pocket of my neon-orange swim trunks. At the apex of my dive, and in a Jackie Chan-esque feat of agility, I rotate and grasp for my phone. My trajectory manifests in heroic denouement as I toss my phone rearward in graceful slow-motion. My dad, jaw agape and beer gripped at a nervous tilt, watches helplessly as it sails over his head, over the beam and inevitably into the lake on the other side of the boat. I surfaced anxiously to discover the fate of my phone; it took only a glimpse of his form, doubled-over in laughter, to obtain my answer. Lake Norman 1, Motorola 0.$1

A friend of mine dropped her phone in a portajohnHer boyfriend got it out
12/13/2008 5:00:48 AM
that is the most disgusting thing i have ever heard, America.
12/13/2008 5:06:35 AM
WHY CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT LEAVE YOUR PHONE FOR FIVE MINUTES WHILE YOU TAKE A SHIT??????
12/13/2008 5:31:48 AM
Talking on the phone and taking a shit is probably one of the easiest multitasking activities. Do it all the time.
12/13/2008 7:58:21 AM
The best thing to do when that happens is to take the battery out of the phone and place both the phone and the battery in a container of uncooked rice. The rice will suck the moisture out. It works more times than not
12/13/2008 8:00:31 AM
I don't recall ever dropping a phone accidentally... I do get mad and throw them sometimes, though
12/13/2008 8:06:39 AM
This is becomming an epidemicGirls with phones in their back pockets of tighter nature than dudes', drop trou at a bar to hover, out pops the phone, splashdown.I can't even tell you how many times I've heard this story

12/13/2008 9:14:02 AM
I had some jackass try to sell me a water damaged phone. The little dots on the back of the phone and battery were both red. I pointed this out, and he still persisted. So, I falcon punched him.

I've dropped an older nokia in the toilet once, it worked after i took it apart and dried it out with a hair dryer. I haven't seen one of these in action, but if I had verizon, I'd probably get one:

How do you people endanger your phones so often?I've never even come close to breaking a phone... I think the most I've done to one is drop it from shoulder-height, and the colors on the screen were inverted for a day or two. But it was a particularly shitty LG, and the colors might have just been inverting anyway because it was shit.

wow, who the fuck wrote that article for WFMY? I am saddened to think that someone can graduate from college with a journalism degree and not be able to tell the difference between "ran" and "rant." I guess that's what UNC pumps out
12/13/2008 11:25:08 AM
This little gem was missed
12/13/2008 11:33:53 AM
back in the day, I dropped my little nokia in the toilet more than once. Each time, it came through like a champ.
12/13/2008 11:37:11 AM

12/13/2008 11:44:43 AM
when i was a kid i think a dropped a gameboy or two in the toilet... and atleast one discman^^^i dunno what's up with my dad.... he didn't like his first wife so i'm not sure why they had four kids.... he's completely in love with my mom though so my sister and i have it pretty nice. don't get me wrong, he's not a bad guy, just not sure he's completely content with some of his earlier decisions.

12/13/2008 11:28:53 PM
I've run my gameboy micro through my wash/dry cycle twice.If they are off when they get washed, and you wait until they are completely dry before you turn them back on, they are fine.
12/13/2008 11:30:41 PM
