Cellphones don't float.

Just thought there may be some who were not aware of this vital fact.

If your 3 year old face plants into the water at the beach, and panics, and you decide to do the super hero thing, make sure you have empty pockets.

$200 bloody excess, so I'll be sans phone for some time - this is why I fucking HATE xmas and councils that spring huge rates bills on you at the crappiest time of year.

GRRR!

Vent over - go about your business... in fact it's a lovely day, go out and ride for gods sakes!

Some of them do. Everyone ought to go and check if their cellphone does, right now. It'll come in bloody handy at the beach I've been told.

Bad luck mate. Even if it had floated electronics don't really like saltwater...

What guts me is, we have a $200 excess on our contents insurance.

There is a sale on, but to get decent phones I will have to tack an extra year or so onto my contract.

So now, I am on my emergency phone which is gay and basic and I bloody hate it.

Years of loyalty to tellyscum, I think I deserve a free phone!

...and I have just run out of beer... WAAAAAH!

One of the more humorous events, was seeing a chap holding his phone under the tap after losing it into the bilges!!!

"It'll be fine...!!!"

I dropped mine in a septic tank

, I couldn't fuckin beleive it

"yep there your problem, a blocked filter, I'll just lean in and get that for you"

(splash)
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
the boy went and hid in the truck, I was fuming, that was an awesome phone too.

anyways, after I left the home owner fished around with a rake or something and got it back, It was in a plastic bag in my locker when I clocked out at the end of the day.

IT STILL WORKS.
although I have replaced it
I have stripped and cleaned it, but I don't want it now might put it on TM............

I work for an irrigation company... that cellphones don't float is common knowledge in my line of work... I've killed three.
The good news is... they were work supplied, and replaced the next day...

**Skyryder** · 29th November 2008, 20:05

No. I took the phone home, removed the battery and put it in the oven for a good bake on the “warm” setting, followed by a half hour in front of the blow dryer. It sprang back to life. I thought that was pretty cool, although the first friend I called wanted to know if I’d washed the phone before dialing. I guess he was worried about getting toilet germs in his ear.

for next time
