I dropped my Blackberry in the toilet. I took the battery out and left it all to dry overnight and it was good as new the next morning.

lol one of my coworkers did the same. I rarely bring mine with me at the washroom but one of these days it's bound to happen to me. The toilets at the hospital are insane powerful, if it fell in during a flush I would never see it again! "WHOOSH"

We should start a support group. I have a belt clip, and my phone once slid rid off my belt after I stood up and fell right in the toilet.

I played it off at Verizon where "the phone must have gotten water damage after I ran the snow blower (we just had a blizzard)." They felt sorry for me and wrote it up as a mechanical defect so I could get a replacement :)

So karma was getting you back for being too liberal at goofing off?

ITT: The title makes (almost) no sense

you'd be surprised at how many people go in to the stall with their blackberrys to do actual "work".

I chopped up bodies in Kosovo and watched the American people elect George W. Bush twice. You have no idea what surprises me.
And this has nothing to do with surprise anyway. I was just complaining that its gross people talk and work on their phones whilst shitting. I KNOW ABOUT IT! WTF do you think I was just complaining about?

After going through what you don't see how you think using a phone while shitting is gross.
