This is your cellphone....

This is your cellphone on cold wash/rinse cycle, with bleach.... Well, it's actually mine, but let this be a warning to everyone! ;)




Now, the little thing no longer vibrates, but the picture comes up like this here and now. Also, if I leave the battery in, and leave it on for hours, I'm sure it'll catch fire or explode as it was getting warm (ooh, a MacGyver handwarmer!) It can provide some amusement when I'm totally bored and I figure out how to dispose of it properly.

Anyway, is the photo not neat? I mean, it looks like a nice cloud pattern. Oh wait, like that Outer Limits episode with the dust creature that lived in the vacuum cleaner!!

i actually read something on the web one day about how to recover a cell phone that had gotten wet. i think people were talking about accidentally dropping it into the sink. but to go through the entire wash, hmmm, no way to recover.

BTW- i have a few mottos. one is that no matter what i can afford, i dont want to buy a home that has more toilets than i want to clean. another is i dont want a cellphone that is so small that i can accidentally put it through the wash. blue tooth will never work for me.

did you use fabric softener? just wondering.........

Oh yes, read all sorts of recovery efforts but I think the bleach really did it in. I've heard about lots of phones dropped in toilets (one guy tried to retrieve it - got stuck - and he ende dup with thousands in repairs to the toilet on the commuter train).

nope, no fabric softener, and sad to say, this isn't exactly a tiny tiny cellphone. I had in the back pocket of heavy jeans so didn't notice when I took 'em off and tossed them in the machine.
