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".

I have an awesome cell phone story

so 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.

Talking on the phone and taking a shit is probably one of the easiest multitasking activities. Do it all the time.

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

This is becomming an epidemic

Girls 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

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:

"Don't Try This With Your Cell Phone

Posted by: Alan Wagmeister Created: 7/10/2008 8:29:10 AM Updated: 7/10/2008 11:47:16 PM

Greensboro, NC -- Have you ever had a mishap with your cell phone? Dropped it on the ground or in the water, and you had to get it replaced. It's a cost none of us want to have to pay.

The G'zOne is advertised as the indestructible cell phone, water, dust and shock resistant.

We had a lot of fun doing this phone test. It's not often you get to take a cell phone and do what we did to it, even if we did have a mishap along the way.

"Do you want to throw it in the water?" says WFMY News 2's Tanya Rivera to a young girl.

Her only response was, "Ohhhhhh."

It's not a question anyone is used to hearing.

We told another young boy to drop the phone on the concrete.

Something this a little boy would not normally get to do either.

"I want you to throw it (G'zOne Phone) in the water," says Tanya to one woman.

"You want me to throw your phone in the water?" says Jasmine with a look of shock on her face.

Our cell phone test took everyone by surprise.

But, how else would be able to see if this phone really is shock proof and water proof. After all, who hasn't had an issue with their phone.

"Fell on the ground, fell in the toilet, once," says Jasmine. "I had to take it out, try to dry it. Pray it worked."

But with this phone, no divine intervention is needed. After dropping it in the water, our tester says it worked.

"Yes, it's normal. Nothing different. No static, no nothing," says Jasmine.

"Do mom and dad ever let you hold their cell phone?" asks Tanya Rivera to 5-year old Seth.

He shakes his head no because they think he might drop it. If he dropped it, it would break. But he got to throw this phone around on the sidewalk. Then, he tried, the phone, "It works!"

We told this toddler to drop the phone in the water, her father was very cautious asking if we were sure. Sure enough while talking with her dad, the little girl dropped it in the water, and jumped up and down with glee.

Then, the phone is fished out, and it works. The little girl's father was surprised, "I'd buy it. I think it's a great idea. It would kill, it would eliminate a lot of insurance claims people put on their cell phones."

But, we didn't stop there. We rant over it with a car. We even stuck the phone in the freezer in a container filled with water. After chipping it out of the ice, the darn thing still worked.

But not everything went as planned, at least for us. In the middle of this story, we thought we were being smart, and we threw the phone into the fountain. Then, we couldn't find it. We spent more than 15 minutes looking for it. We were not sure the phone was going to make it. We finally found the phone and it worked.

Amazingly, none of this surprises one of our little testers.

"It doesn't die when it's in the water, and it doesn't break, like it doesn't break when you throw it down on the ground, hits the ground," says Lauren.

The phone costs about $100 with a contract from Verizon. We have to say the phone outperformed out expectations.

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.

otterbox people, not cheap but they work, my blackberry has survived a papermill environment for over 6 months now, and is in perfect condition

its been dropped, slammed up against things, completely soaked with water, pulp, and black liquor, and lime dust

if you take it out of the case, it looks like it just came out of the box brand new

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

Wtf? I can understand maybe 1 and 2 were fuckups so he went for three thinking that would be the charm. But when that one sucked, did he just decide to keep doubling down? And now he's just out of sperm and miserable?

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.

^^I ruined an old gameboy once by leaving it sitting in a cupholder a day or two.

Little did I know that there was a magnet also in the cupholder.

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.
