Years ago, I went to pick my wife up at airport and went into meet her at the gate when she got off the plane When I went put my stuff in the plastic box to go through the metal detector, I somehow forgot to retrieve my company-issued phone. When I remembered and went back, it was gone. Someone else had grabbed it. I called the number from a pay phone and someone answered but hung up. When I called again, there was no answer. There was no way to track it. I got in trouble from my company for that one.
Another time, I dropped my own phone in a pan of water. Instead of turning it off immediately and drying it out thoroughly, I checked to see it it worked. The screen went haywire. After I dried it out, it never did work right again. When I tried to get a new phone by saying mine was malfunctioning, they immediately saw the moisture detector thing inside and knew that it had gotten wet. I had to buy a new phone.
My current phone is in a water resistant Otter case.

Worst place, oh man. This is a throwback college day memory. Downtown on Friday night with my buddies hitting the bars. If I recall right it was the second bar we went to, I had to use the bathroom because beer flows like lightning through me.
Got in the bathroom, urinals were all taken, but the stall wasn't. Toilet was free from clogging and nothing behind from the last user. As I was going, it slipped out of my pocket, bounced off my hand as I tried to catch it and splashed in the toilet a second later. Thankfully it still worked without issue, but that was the Oh shit moment of my night.
The worst place I ever dropped my phone was in one of my turtle's dirty water tubs and I had to throw the phone away and get a new one because of the germs from the dirty water. Thankfully the turtle wasn't in there but the water was very nasty and cloudy and needed to be cleaned really badly and I had my phone in my jacket pocket and it slipped right down into the water.
In the toilet. Fell outta my back pocket. Worst part? Hearing the "sploosh" and hearing my pee hit the water right after.

In the bathtub while I was taking a bath🛁🛁
Haha I didn't mind it but there was a hot ass woman right next to me at the movies when I was like 15 and my pockets were loose. My phone dropped 3 times but the 2nd time was an app time favorite. She had turned around talking to her friends as she stood up and I went down to grab the phone and my head went under her skirt and between her legs. I jolted up she squeeled and fell but someone caught her. And I'm like raising my phone up over my head as evidence I was just reaching for my phone. She smelled good tho tbh.
Camping, in the middle of no where... pit toilet, leaned over to shut the lid as anyone who uses pit toilets no to help work properly you have to shut the lid for proper ventilation and it was in my shirt pocket and down it went, oh and with my truck keys too.
So yeah I can see how toilet is the # worst place... this was far worse than a regular toilet. After that I stopped wearing dress shirts and switched to T-shirts.I've stupidly dropped a phone, then it's replacement in a toilet 2 days in a row. When I was in the Army, I put my phone in the velcro chest piece and had to go clean the toilet for barracks inspection. The velcro opened and the phone plopped into the toilet water.. I then went and got my phone replaced and within 2 days I did the same exact thing because we failed the inspection and I was put on toilet duty again. Clearly didn't learn from my mistakes
I dropped my phone at the mountains, it was white and it was winter so finding it was impossible. I decided I couldn't find my phone so I ended up leaving the mountains. Next morning, a older couple found it deep in a trail and hard to see but they still noticed it. I had it unlocked. They ended up finding a way to contact people I know and gave the phone back.
I placed my phone on the end of the dash of the vehicle and worried the whole time my cousin went to get gas and I was in the bathroom, she finally came up to get me and I was so close to that phone coming off and smashing off the dash in the car and the first thing I ask her was my phone alright and it was still sitting on the dash of the vehicle
Well once i went to a river up in the mountain and was submerged up to my waist in water for about an hour. After i get out i thought a fish somehow got into my pocket because it was vibrating like crazy lol nope it was just my phone lmfao 😂
Luckily it was pre smartphone ere. But i dried it out for a day ot two and it worked fine after! 😂🤣🤣A long time ago I apparently dropped my phone one morning just as I was getting started at work. I got myself situated and then proceeded to run over my phone with an 80,000 lb (36,287 kg) truck and trailer. Thankfully the roughly $45 aluminum case kept all of the pieces contained. 😂 I had that phone for less than a week.
Skydiving.
For some reason I thought I'd be able to keep a tight enough grip on my phone to record while free falling. It didn't make it.On the street when it didn't have any cover what so ever.
Screen shattered, at first it seemed to be working just fine for 3 months. Then the battery got worn out out of nowhere. And only a few days later it got cold damaged as well which lead to malfunction and wasn't useable at all. Bad luck connected with the first scenario. Thank god it just was a shitty HTC One V.Public toilet. Phone in the back pocket aaaaand bloop! The phone dropped in the toilet. I was a savage and saved it. Still works, but damn... Im glad the toilet was flushed and I hadn't used it yet.
It was cracked anyway and I dropped it in the toilet while I was taking a piss. It fell out of my back pocket. Needless to say there was no saving the phone.
In a pool. But this was many many years ago I was a stupid teenager and dropped my Nokia in a pool iPhone's didn't even exist back then lol. Had to remove the battery overnight and the next morning my phone was working fine.
Public restroom. Narrowly missed the toilet. I dodged a bullet. I have the heavy duty otter box too because I canβt be trusted not to break my phone. Lol
Between the driver's seat and the door. Had to get out and move the seat all the way back just to find where the damn thing landed. Then I had to use a pen to push it forward to a point where I could reach in and grab the damn thing.
That last picture though... Lol!
For me, in the middle of the road. I watched it get ran over but it survived. Months later I lost the same phone in the road and traced my steps back to find it destroyed.I donβt drop mine hardly. Maybe once or twice on my face. The rest of the time I clutch this thing with my whole life lol. Lord knows Iβd be investigated if it got into the wrong hands.
on or off the side of a mountain...
... don't take your phone skiing down a mountain...
bye bye white iPhone, I will always remember you.In the toilet I had just peed..
So I had to retrieve it out of the urine.
Tried to dry it out but it still didn't work and smelt of urine.
Only thing I could salvage was the SIM card.Pool
