I Dropped my iPhone in the Toilet!

[LeadHership]

Yes, you read that correctly. My 2-yr old and I were in the world's tiniest bathroom stall when I fumbled my iPhone and dropped it into the PUBLIC toilet...GROSS! To boot, it was after we had done our business.... EVEN GROSSER!!!!
So not only did I have to stick my hand in the nasty toilet bowl to rescue my little iPeePhone, but I had to fidget with it as I attempted iPhone-CPR. And you can't wash, rinse or sanitize it (though 1 chic suggested I put some Clorox on it...hello???). So I guess I'm thankful that nobody will EVER want to use my iPhone, though it still remains that I have to.
I salvaged most of it, just one injury: the on/off button doesn't work anymore. So I have an iPhone that will never shut off. So what's my point? Are you wondering how can I possibly spin this into some leadHership principle? Wanna bet a new iPhone that I can?  Our things: our cars, our jewels, investments & toys - they aren't bad. God's richly blessed us with a democracy & economy to have them. I just have one piece of advice: Hold your things in open palms....not clenched fists. When we do, it communicates a powerful thing: "God, these are yours to take; not mine to keep."

Although it very easily could have been, except for the owning an iphone bit.

I've had many fall in a cup of Iced Tea in the car cup holder. 

You have a great message...thanks for the reminder!

    I ran two phones through the wash machine so I know the feeling. Only mine were unsalvageable!

How did you find out? Did your washing maching ring twice?? 

[LeadHership]

OK, so get this....LAST week, with my new iPhone, I'm getting up from a pedicure when my iPhone slips out of my hand and drops into the disgusting, dirty pedi water.....GROSS!!  W'as up w/ me and these phones? It's just not meant to be!

[bottlesbarbiesandboys]

How did you find out? Did your washing maching ring twice?? 

No, Every time I tried to call on the home phone to find one, it would just blow bubbles!

Oh  We know you just didn't want to pay for that pedi! That's a good sympathy trick right there!

Wow, I've come close to dropping my phone in the toilet too, but thankfully i haven't done it! I usually keep my phone in my back pocket, so when I stand up and pull my pants up, it occasionally falls out!
I phone's are so expensive, i'm glad you were able to salvage it!
I'd put antibacterial stuff on it over and over and over again. LOL
