My phone was dropped in the tub this evening.  It still worked after, but I now have it taken apart sitting in rice.  I have to go all night and tomorrow morning without my phone.  I'm already mourning my friend.

I've already turned my phone in once for it crapping out on me.  We aren't up for renewal in another few months.  I will DIE if I have to use my old shit phone.  DIE! #dramatic

Oh no! What a shitty deal. I've had many phones done in by water damage. By either dropping them in the toilet (by accident obviously) or leaving them in my jeans pocket and putting it thru the wash. That sucks.

The one I dropped in toilet actually worked the next day though, I was impressed that it survived being dropped in piss water and then rinsed off in the sink after.

Crossing my fingers for Missy's phone!

Hey folks-- if you're going to drop your phone in fluids, make sure it's piss water! @ghostmonkey.

I think my cover helped.  The back of my phone and under the battery were not wet at all.  The water mark on my battery didn't change colors either, which is a good sign.

My mom once dropped hers in orange juice. Magically it was just fine.
I dropped mine in the toilet and did the rice trick and it never worked right again.
I must have shitty luck.

I had one of those silly Verizon Chocolate phones that died from water damage and I didn't even drop it in water! Apparently putting it on the counter while you shower is a bad idea if you take hot showers. Luckily by that point I had brought it in 3 times and they just gave me a new version of the Chocolate. I hate water. So much.
