  1. Destin says:

    I generally try to keep my phone away from toilets.

      No shit? Me to :D

    • Fake E. Tufte says:

      Nobody does it intentionally, but the classic tale is you’re sitting in a stall, and first you hear a “plop” from the next stall over, followed by “AH F&%*!!!” What happens is that your phone is on your belt, or in your pocket, and as you stand up and lift your pants to put them back on, the phone works loose and down it goes.

      So I totally believe the rationale behind the largest slice.

    • Fake E. Tufte says:

      Nobody does it intentionally, you don’t even have to be talking on it.

      The classic and widely experienced tale is you’re sitting in a stall, and first you hear a “plop” from the next stall over, followed by “AH F&%*!!!” What happens is that his phone is on his belt, or in his pocket, and as he stands up and lifts his pants to put them back on, the phone works loose and down it goes.

      This story has been told over and over by many people for years. So I totally believe the rationale behind the largest slice.

  2. oops says:

    Been there, done that one!

  3. KartoonNotWerk says:

    Agree w/Destin…no talking on the john, thanks. We had a boss who would take the cordless phone to the toilet with him and always wondered if the person on the other end knew. Or did he mute it when he flushed. Either way, ewww….

  4. th15 says:

    I dropped my phone while boarding my ship once :(

  5. Srinivasan R says:

    A person in India dropped it on the railway tracks while standing on the platform – jumped to get it back and was run over by the train.

  6. Yuval says:

    Happened to me once with my army-commissioned cell -
    I was court-martialled for it.

  7. papajon says:

    Someone has had a bad apparently…

    Is making a graph about it cathartic perhaps? Is it like saying “My bad” after doing something stupid and then all is universally forgiven?

    Hey if you feel better doing a graph after your cell-phone submerging, more power to ya!

  8. vervain says:

    I’m just boggling at the cat box one.

  9. Barbara says:

    I’ve dropped my mp3 player in the toilet once. It screamed.

  10. StreetPreacher says:

    I’d have to devote a largish slice to “Dropping it into the giant bucket of waiting-to-be-neutralized-nitric acid and mercury waste.” No lie, I’ve killed two phones that way.

  11. kittehsFTW says:

    umm….. *considers, considers*… oh hell i’ll do it: why the hell is the red slice so big? the probability of that compared to the others is.. oh fuck it, nevermind. *trolls on to other pages…*

  12. Helen says:

    What about dropping it into a bucket of hot soapy water and disinfectant? Ask me how I thought of that.

  13. qwerty says:

    i swear my phone is obsessed with toilets

  14. divadragon says:

    This graph inaccurately excludes “in the tub while I’m struggling to open the bubbles for my toddler while talking to my husband who’s in Afghanistan”. On second thought, that could only possibly happen to me lol.

  15. Provincial Lady says:

    This happens so commonly with hospital bleeps (and yes, it’s cos they fall out of your pocket/off your belt at an inopportune moment) that the solution is given in my junior doctor’s handbook – rinse it off under the tap, then take it to switchboard and tell them you dropped it in your drink.
