Don't drop your cell phone in the toilet
*Don't carry your cell phone in your back pocket, even "just for a minute."
*Don't put your cell phone on the overcrowded shelf behind the toilet while you dry your hair.
*Just don't put your cell phone anywhere near water, okay? Because cell phones are drawn to water by some weird magnetic force.
I hope mine dries out by morning, because I'd prefer not to buy a new phone just yet. I hate when spazziness costs me money.
Update: If you
do drop your cell phone in water, it might not be dead. If you take the battery out right away and then leave your phone alone until it's completely dry, it might be fine. Mine seems to be working fine now. This is just like the two times I spilled water all over my laptop and it miraculously came back to life!
You'd think I would've learned my lesson about keeping water near my laptop after one spill, but no. I must really like having water within arm's reach.
So far, the only technology that didn't like having water spilled on it was my
ergonomic keyboard. But it was okay, because it happened right after I bought it. Since I still had the receipt, Office Depot totally let me return it, no questions asked.
