What's the worst thing you've done to your cell phone?

I've seen them dropped in port-a-potties, and thrown out of car windows. But for me, the most painful cell phone moment was accidentally dropping a $450 smart phone (paid full price) into a large glass of water. Talk about seeing things unfold in slow-motion! lol

YOU?

That's easy-toilet in a bar-fell out of my pocket as I was pulling up my pants and I had to reach in to get it out. Still shudder when I think of that what. At least it was a cheap and old phone-AND it survived. I took the batter out and dried the think out and it came back to life. I really wanted to soak it in lysol though. Could you salvage yours? That's rough!

Nope. It was on, and fried almost instantly. It was around 5-6 years ago, and smart phones were less popular.

The worst thing I did to a cell phone was getting the service through AT&T. LoL

I dropped my charger cord (end that goes into phone) to my new smart phone into chip dip. I thought I cleaned it well but I did not. It gave my smart phone "water damage" and the plug in to the cord corroded.

Not a phone, but my pager a few years ago. Self serve car wash. Jumped off my belt clip, bounced under the car and into the catch basin. Had to move my car, pry open the grate, and fish for it. I had to find it because it was from work. I did, and it worked after I dried it out.

Haven't washed my car since.

Dropped it a parking lot, then ran it over.

My co-workers was run over by a CAT 980G loader! Thank goodness it was in the sand, it survived! A little bit gritty though!
The first day I got my new work phone I dropped it on the sidewalk & scratched the display. Oops... Nothing groddy though, like dropping it in a toilet. Ew.

I've dropped my phone in the toilet and in the bathtub, left it in the freezer overnight, ran it through the wash, dropped it from the second floor, and ran over it. Twice. :blushing:

I may or may not be just a wee bit scatter brained.

I was talking to my wife late at night just got home from a night out, she was visiting her parents out of town, I was taking a leak and talking on the phone as it was nuzzled between my neck and shoulder and I moved my head forgetting it was there and fell right in a toilet filled with pee. I also opened up a car window while driving down Rt 41 in Ft Myers not realizing it was between the window and the ledge and it fell right out going about 60 miles per hour.

My smart phone key board kept sticking, I got ticked off and threw it against the wall....I no longer invest a ton of money in phones lol

I put my husband's cell phone through the wash. In my defense, the baby threw up all over my husband's jeans and I was NOT about to check the pockets for unwashable objects.

Not one of my finest nights drinking I ended up throwing up EVERYWHERE all over the bar bathroom. Including on my phone. I lysoled it like crazy and it still didn't smell clean for a week after. Ugh death, never again have i gotten that drunk.

I was driving home in the dark, listening to my voicemail, when I was done I went to drop my android phone into the cupholder...I forgot there was a cup of water with no lid in there! I heard the "splooosh" in the darkness and immediately snatched it out of there. Thankfully putting it in the bag of rice overnight saved it! Yay!

Dropped a cheap-ey in a full tub of soapy water when giving the kiddies a bath about 5 years ago. I didn't even dry it out and it still worked.

Sat on it.
Thrown it.
Let kids slobber all over it.
Dropped it off my elliptical a few times.
Kept it too close to the stove while cooking.
Nearly baked it.
Rigged it with a piece of a hair tie so the menu button would work.
Talked on it for 7 hours nearly straight.

LAST WEEK I dropped my beloved G1 in a little water, then immediately poured water on it as I swatted it out of said water... It died in my hands the next minute.
I now have a nice replacement, with a wrist strap.

My phone fell out of my pocket during a roller coaster ride. The amusement park employees managed to find it and it still worked

I actually havent ever broke any of my phones or anything all the years ive had them...but i have horrible luck with my cell phones actually lasting now probably because I overuse them but they look like they would would until you try turning them on or charging them

While trying to get into the car a bunch of stuff fell out of my bag. I Thought I got everything until I backed out of the driveway and heard a CRUNCH. Yep, ran it over. Crazy thing is, it still worked. I could still make calls if I knew the number. Wasn't a smart phone. I'm sure my smart phone now wouldn't take that kind of punishment.

You have a pretty durable phone. What is it? An iPhone?

No it was a few year ago so smartphones weren't around back then. I believe it was a Samsung.

I dropped my company cell phone into a cup of pop while driving in the car. It was in my side pocket of my pants and the pop was sitting next to me on my side and the phone fell out of my pocket and into the cup of pop.

I love that you say POP! I get made fun of for saying it ever since I moved to MD. Use to live in Erie PA

I was going to go to the bathroom at Walmart and when I pulled my pants down my phone fell out of the packet into the toilet. =( I walked away to get help and the automatic flush sucked in through the piles. Never to be found again. lol

Put it underwater in a hot tub. But then I dialed out while underwater to my friend's phone to prove it would work. But my phone is awesomesauce.

I have dropped it on cement repeatedly, put it underwater, etc. And it still works. This is the only phone I've ever not broken, and I've broken quite a few!

Dropped it on a crosswalk in front of a turning bus. I have no idea how it survived being run over, but it did. Congrats, Samsung, on building a superior product!

Maryjaneshoes

Dropped it in a glass of water that was on my nightstand, that's what I get for late night texting lol. Tried the whole sock in the dryer bit, and the rice, but it was a lost cause!

Im the cell phone terminator. Ran one thru the wash..... and dryer. Cannon balled into a pool with one still in my back pocket. I have a bad habit of keeping it tucked in my bra. When I bend over just right it falls out and cracks on my hardwood floor. Broke quite a few screens this way. The real problem I have though is trying to fix them myself. I crack them open and sometimes make the issue worse :bigsmile:
