19% drop their phones down the toilet?
Is it true? I just read this in my iGoogle page on Cnet news. It seems that some folks can’t get a grip on things in the toilet.
Now I don’t know if this is a specific gender based problem, but I can see where more men would drop their phones than women. Here’s is my explanation of this phenomenon…
Some men are two handers, some are one handers, and some are no handers. I think you get the picture. I can actually see where one might accidentally lose a grip on one thing or another and if it is an object that is not attached to anything and subject to the law of gravity, it might drop into the urinal….or toilet.
It’s possible.
I just know men are more apt to actually tell someone they did such a thing than women. In U.S. Army basic training, I had a guy come out and proclaim that he had **** in his hat. I had never heard of anyone actually doing such a deed and was immediately interested. Anyone who has served in the military remembers that we used to place our hat in our back waistbands with the bill of the hat downwards. Normally this presents no problems, but on this occasion, he went into the toilet, dropped his pants and his hat, and his hat made the catch of a lifetime. Sorry about telling you that bit of news, but he was quite proud and showed us all. He dumped the evidence on the ground for all to see.
Men are that way. I have never forgotten that visual moment.
On the other hand, I had never seen such a thing and was somewhat interested in how it came to be. The proud fellow told us all about it with great enthusiasm.
But back to the matter at hand…..dropping your cellphone in the toilet.
Could it be true that out of every five people you know that one has actually dropped their phone into the toilet? I really don’t want the folks I’m talking to on the phone to actually know what I’m doing in there, but hey, like my buddy in basic training, some folks are just proud to be there….
As the article says, we have more pressing problems to ponder than a dropped phone in the toilet. How about the debt ceiling or the drought in Texas? I do wonder though….have you actually done the deed? Are you one of the 19%.
Come on…fess up.

You can confess all to me…..

I confess! I’ve dropped my iPhone in the toilet. My case had broken and I had it in my pocket. It’s pretty slick without the case and it slid right out of my pocket and fell right into the toilet. On Christmas day! I also dropped that same phone in the lake. Finally got a new phone in Feb…trying to be careful with it. :•)
