Bought a new pair of pants, you know the kind that has a pocket for something similar to a cell phone. Well there goes the phone and my new pants in the washer. Realizing I'm missing my phone, I'm calling it, praying for a ring tone somewhere thinking I left it God knows where, I finally realized what I did and I was sober at that moment. I fished it out of the washer and was amazed to find a clean and soaking wet cell phone. After an hour or so disassembling it, carefully putting the parts in the furnace duct for about six hours to which my wife started to shed clothes and call me names I won't mention here. Put it all back together, turned it on and voilà it worked with some minor discrepancies and errors such as GPS failure, what ever that means and the battery needs to be charged about every hour instead of two weeks. Pleased with myself for a job well done at two in the morning I decided to give it a try. So I called my house phone and started leaving messages to see how it sounded. Much more name calling from the wife and I believe there was a cast iron skillet missing from over the oven but it was dark and after a pint of R&R I didn't really care, Just thought she had plans for a great breakfast in her deranged mind. I had a great plan that cost me $25.00 a month, at least I can take my shinny clean old antique Nokia in and double my monthly expense at a cost of more skillets.

 

Note to wrench007- remove all heavy cooking objects from kitchen...

 

A friend of mine has done that two phones now. But the worst thing she has washed is a few 5.56 rounds and found them in the dryer

 

My wife fell in a pool with hers. I took the cell phone apart and let it fully dry. Put it back together and it worked just like before.

 

To late. I caved. She is heavier than me and removeing her, I would be at the soup line at the local mission.

 

You know, at least your wife lets you spend money.

 

One lesson my mom taught me before I went away to college---a life lesson you may say---was to ALWAYS CHECK MY POCKETS BEFORE PUTTING ANYTHING IN THE WASHING MACHINE. Still do, to this day.

My mon told me that too when she was alive, and she also told me where to step in the grass so as you don't walk on a bee or step in some dog poo with bare feet. I steped in dog poo and steped on bees and although I don't step on bees anymore, I still step on dog poo once in a while tideing up the yard. Matter of fact, I stepped on a good pile of dog poo just today. It was my own fault because I was fighting off a yellow jacket.

 

Holy derailment of your own thread, Batman!

 

Obviously nobody told you about the use of spell check, though!

Just pullin' your chain...

I almost dropped my cell phone in the toilet the other day...

Although my friend dropped his in a toilet full of his own poo, and he washed it off and he was using it again.

Then again, I know a guy who works for AT&T wireless, and he has told me some pretty scary stuff with some broken cell phones that customers have brought in. Like women using them as vibrators, poo stories, and some good vomit stories of cell phones.

 

Alright, Back on track. Thanks Stealth. Water and cell phones= bad things. Lets hear some stories.

 

oh geez she got lucky haha

 

i thought about the title too hard and kept wondering why you would have a cell phone and washing machine. dont know of a useful portable washing machine so i thought one that stayed in the house all the time would be useless

 

I've only had my cell go for a bath and it wasn't that long ago. Was wading some water collecting shells with a friend for a school project in the saltwater. I put my phone in my shirt pocket to keep it as far away from the water as I could. When I leaned over to look at something it slid right out. Was probably in the water all of 2 seconds but it never repowered.
