I've just dropped my mobile phone down the toilet.

And now, rather unsuprisingly, it doesn't work.

"Picking a winner!"
Posts: 8,502
Was in the pub few months back and two mates were arguing about the other one using his phone and texting all the time instead of enjoying some beer with the lads. One thing lead to another and my mate picked up my other mates phone and put it in his full pint of beer.
Was excellent for the rest of us but he didn't see the funny side of it until the phone began to work again.

If it dosn't work just take it back to the shop and say that it has stopped working. Chance it and try get another one free or that one fixed.

Also this reminds me of first year in high school. We had all been sent to the library to get a book for english, on the way back my mate David stopped in at the loo and accidently dropped the book in the urinal, he made his way back to class with the book, heavily smellling of pee, yellow pages stuck together etc.
The teacher asked to see the book and didn't notice the smell or wetness (don't know how), anyway he went back to the seat and dropped it on the desk and it left the wet mark around it.

We were laughing about it the other day, "really was a pish book" :-)

Mine fell in the bath a couple of weeks ago.

I dried it with a hairdryer and left it in the heating cupboard for a few hours, works fine.

You're one of those people who hates mobile phones, aren't you SHEEPY! :D
I can't blame you!

Questions is... Are you one of those people who does nothing without their phone, Your Honour? If so, then this is even-funnier!! :)


I've dropped my cheap old phone in a deep muddy puddle about 2 years ago, and it still works fine today! But I have dropped it so many times so that when I make it vibrate on silent mode it sounds like the phone's battery isn't strong-enough! :)

Not, I was late for my bus to work and it was raining, so I took them off and put them in my pocket so I could see where I was running. As I crossed a road they fell out, I didn't realise until I heard the crack......

My parents thought it was quite impressive and funny - thank you lord!, especially, when I brought the really, really flat frames back and presented them to them.

As long as you still have the simcard. :)

Also, try and heat the water out and dry it all up.

Or you can send me it and I will try and fix it. :D

Ho ho ho.

I've done thiss too, but unfortunatly I'd done something, and It wasn't my phone, I'd borrowed it from my girlfriend at the time.

I fished it out and then put it in the airing cupboard in as many pieces as I could, but it still wouldn't work, so I claimed that it had been stolen....

Apart from that, I've only had my glasses ran over once by a truck. The most stupid thing I have ever done....

Brings a whole new meaning to the term 's**t phone', doesn't it?
