View Full Version : I dropped my cell phone in the toilet

This is where I say, but it wasn't that bad, only water in the toilet, no big deal!
Sadly no.
The toilet was filled with the first golden piss of the morning. And I just concluded evacuating my bowels. I had a few beers last night too, so the fecal matter was a bit squishier than normal. I had my phone in the front pocket of my sweatshirt when I reached over to get some TP, and it falls out into the contaminated bowl. Without thinking I reached in and pulled it out.
Yes, it had shit on it.
Yes, my hand smelled like shit.
I cleaned my phone (and my hands thank you), took the battery off, and now I'm waiting to see if it comes back to life.
I have close to 100 numbers in there, most of which I do not have committed to memory, or written down anywhere. I also don't have a regular landline in my apartment- the cell is my only phone.
I fucking suck.

I actually did the same exact thing.
I was working a 12-hour overnight shift during Hurricane Isabel and I got home, was exhausted, and took it out of my pocket and it fell in.
After a couple of days it dried out and came back to life, but it was not the same. It only worked in places of extremely good service. I just dealt with it for a month or two, then the screen broke and I had to buy a new one on Ebay.
I have sprint and I took the replacement phone to their store, and they were able to transfer all of my address book over (because it was still working, just the screen was half-dead) which was a lifesaver.

Your phone will come back. I dropped my phone in a toilet once, just water luckily, and it worked within a couple of hours. I actually put my phone through the wash once and it came back about a day later. The phone was pretty worthless with regards to receiving calls, but I could still get all my digits off it.
I think it might be time for you to look for a new phone though. Harvest the numbers then move on.

I wish I can say this is something new. A few months back, I dropped it in a puddle. It was completely submerged for a good 5 minutes before I realized where it was. It eventually came back to life, and worked pretty good, just the battery had about an 18 hour lifespan.
I think after this incident I may have gone too far though.
Its a LG VX6000, Verizon service.

i forget when and where and who, but there was a major problem with a train or plane a few months back; big enough it made the major news broadcasts, and my dim memory even recalls a thread, and the cause was a person who got their hand stuck in a toilet retrieving cel phone like ya did...

I say ditch the phone and call your phone company and see if they can access the information you stored on the phone and get the numbers that way. Putting a shit-tainted phone to me ear would just forever skeeve me out.

Well now my mod quote is just contradictory... Either I'm a beautiful genius or a shit handling mongoloid- pick one and go with it boys.
It's starting to show signs of life, but not fully. When it does, I'm going to the Verizon Center on Austin St. in Queens (I fucking hate Austin St.- this day is just getting better) and get all my info transferred to a new phone. Mojo has a good point, about basically holding a turd up to your ear. Then I'll ask the bitch behind the counter to smell my fingers.
And yes, I did shit in the puddle. That's what I do. I shit in puddles. It's sort of my thing.

Back in the day when I had a beeper, I took a piss during a break during the SAT's, and my beeper fell in the toilet. I had to quickly fish it out, wrap it up in paper towels and run back into the gym. Try explaining that to the test proctor. My beeper came back to life, but I was so disgusted by what happened I ended up getting a new one.
