[...] Pretty much the worst street pretzel I’ve ever had, most of which ended up being “saved for later” in my bag, with some unpleasant consequences. [...]

Our cell phone went through the washer AND dryer and, amazingly, still works.

Tough little buggers.

Well, except for the one that my husband dropped at work and killed. Go figure. Spin cycle? Works fine. Drop on floor? Dead as the proverbial doornail.

I have that same bag (different colors, of course), which has also provided my phone with some significant downtime; except it was by way of a slice of cookies & cream pie instead of a toilet.

(p.s. Love your blog, I’m new.)

Method #2:
Step 1:Where old fashioned panel front maternity pants that only have back pockets.
Step 2:Have a typical I-gotta-pee-right-now preggo emergency that requires aiming at toilet while still rapidly removing of said pants
Step 3: Stand up and look down not comprehending why something dark is down there in the water when you're pretty sure you were only peeing.
Step 4: Reality finally dawns on the preggo brain at the same time you realize no one is going to fish that out for you.

I need to drop my phone in the toilet to have a good excuse to get one with a full keyboard for texting. My 20-year-old babysitters have taught me how. My toddlers got nothin’ on me! (yet)

LOL, I saw that coming! I haven’t actually dropped a cell phone in the toilet, but our bathroom cabinet is right over the toilet, so I have been known to open the cabinet while the toilet lid was up and lose a lipstick or two as they catapulted out of their cabinet for no good reason. (Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle at work perhaps?). Being lipsticks I couldn’t quite bring myself to use them again even though the water was “clean” at the time.

I swung around to flush once and the phone fell out of my pocket into the toilet I had just weed into. I rinsed it and dried it out and it worked fine. I swapped it with someone at work without telling them why and every time they used that phone I snicker and think “haha you’re using the wee phone”.

I have not had the pleasure. My best friend lost hers because her cat knocked it off the sink. But my mom was in New York with her friends when one of them lost hers and refused to retrieve it.

You see, she was having a colonoscopy and had been taking that great cleansing medicine they give you.

My husband left his phone in the pocket of his jeans. Unfortunately (for him), he did laundry that weekend. He didn’t check the pockets. Best as we can tell, the phone survived the washer but not the dryer. Of course, we don’t really know. We didn’t check it in between. (Snort.)

I've lost 2 phones to The Great Bowl of China.

In both cases I've removed the battery, dried them out with a hairdryer and indignantly returned them (an LG and a Motorola, about 2 years apart) to the store.

In both instances the store said, "Oh yeah, we've had trouble with these models." Fools. And then I got 2 new free phones without having any protection or replacement plans.

I love it when I screw the MAN.
