The demise of my old cell phone. TMI ahead.

So a little over a year ago I signed (well my mother did because my credit is shit and she is awesome) a two year contract and got myself an LG Rumor when they first came out. My mom is the manager of a Bell World, so I usually have a heads up when a decent phone is coming out. My old Pink Samsung was literally held together with duct tape (i am notoriously awful with phones..my previous phone had been run over by a car and squashed.)

I think back in the beginning of July I managed to destroy my lovely rumor. Up until then I had avoided all the problems they’re supposedly plagued with. I however do have a horrible habit of walking around with my cell phone in my back pocket. Sometimes I just don’t want to be carrying a purse, and most of the time my cell is in my pocket when I’m at home (I don’t have a home phone, just my cell).

So one day I needed to pee (Don’t say i didn’t warn you) and my phone was in my back pocket. As I sat down I distinctly remember thinking to myself, “It would really suck if your phone fell out of your pocket and into the toilet right now.” I jinxed myself folks.

If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time (and those of you who have followed me around on the interwebs since I started back when I was 20) you know my shit luck, and you know that when i think about how awful something happening would be, it usually happens.

So there I was mid tinkle when I heard a loud splash. Fuck. I looked down at my ankles and my phone was missing from my pants pocket. At this point I had no idea what to do. Do I flush? Do I fish out the phone, pee and all? I loved that phone, so you can bet that without thinking I fished that phone out of the bowl. Then I flushed.

After that i panicked when I realized how gross what I just did was. Without thinking I washed my hands (well up to my elbows really) and proceeded to rinse off my phone. My brain just doesn’t work well under pressure. So if peeing on my phone hadn’t destroyed it, then rinsing it off surely did.

I ended up replacing it with the exact same phone, though its had tons of issues. I need an upgrade.

Story of my life.

  2. That made me lol. Sorry you have such bad luck! I’m surprised my phone has lasted as long as it has.

  3. I get an upgrade as soon as I’m able to usually within 2 years I guess. My brother got my my blackberry pearl for $0 from rogers because the warrenty on my krazer was going to expire and I had sent it out 5 times in 2 months for the same issue and it was never fixed.

  4. I just finally, FINALLY got an upgrade on mine. I had a Blackberry Pearl, and I hated that phone. With a passion. Words cannot describe how much I hated it. I ended up getting a Samsung Intensity last week, and happily ran the BP over with my truck….several times. Its amazing the odd things that can make us smile…
