I just dropped my iPod in the toilet

[JolietJake]

Yes, by accident! I think I rescued it in time .... I guess we'll see.


Incidentally, what is it about the internet that makes one "share" things one would never admit to face-to-face?

[i_mmmchocolate]

If I dropped my IPod in the toilet, and it somehow related to a conversation I was having with someone face-to-face--- yes, I would bring it up.

I dropped my cell phone in a toilet once. It didn't work afterward. Of course that was almost ten years ago...I'm sure they're more water-tight these days.

I've been wondering for months what to laser-engrave on my next iPod. "Do not insert into anus" has been done, after all. "Do not flush down toilet", here I come!

Before or after you used it?

Which reminds me of another story. Last year I was at a football game. In the mensroom a guy several feet down from me dropped his phone right into the trough. Not only did he not even try to retreive it but those surrounding him immediately "aimed" at it.


I think I laughed for at least 20 minutes afterward.

You were listening to your IPOD while using the toilet?

Oh . . . shit.

[JolietJake]

You were listening to your IPOD while using the toilet?

Yeah .... In my own defense I'd like to point out I never claimed to be particularly bright. (and I need my tunes)

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

JJ, read the instructions. You're supposed to strap it on your arm.

[JolietJake]

Oh . . . shit.


No. (fortunately)

I could make a "17-inches-o-swingin'-death" comment here but I won't. (because know one would buy it anyway)

[mattbib]

What song was playing when it made the splash?

I'm tempted to say Bridge Over Troubled Water but it was actually Baltimore Sun by the Jayhawks.

Don't bring it out of sleep mode and basically just let it sit and dry for a few days. Cross your fingers, spin in a circle seven times, and then maybe it might work.

Is that what worked for you? :)

Only, instead of the regular screen...

You don't want to encourage people to screw with their ipod right before their warranty expires, in the hope of getting a new one. They'll do it. They'll drive over it with their beemer or they'll "accidentally" leave it in the oven.

Apple wouldnt cover those things, would it?

[west3man]

Enh. People do all sorts of things in the bathroom or on the toilet. As long as you're careful, it's no biggie.

Of course, once your items go ploop, fingers will wag. It ain't so weird, though.

[JDogindy]

Well, it beats having it being eaten by a cow:

At least, with a toilet, you have a chance to salvage it... unless you flush.

[Drew Van T.]

Nope, but the people damaging their ipod don't realize this in time. :D

Last year I was setting up the laptop and the overhead projector to teach my class. I have all my presentations on the laptop and most of the students give me their USB flash memories to copy my files to keep up with the lessons.

Well, there was this female student trying to remove another flash memory from the USB slot to introduce hers. She was not having a lot of luck, so she grabbed her flash memory with her teeth and used both hands to remove the flash.
Then anothe girl comes into the classroom and says "hey Jane (name withheld), does my flash memory still work? I dropped it in the toilet a little while ago".

Jane spat the flash memory from her mouth, throughly disgusted. Among the "oh, god's" and "how could you's" and all Jane kept grabbing her mouth with her hands, even touching her tongue with her fingers, as if she could wipe away the feeling.

Then I pointed out to her: "Jane, the flash memory fell in the toilet..." -her hands are still 'brushing' her tongue. "...which you had in your mouth..." -still brushing- "which you held for a while in your ..."

"HANDS! YUCK" and she ran to the bathroom to throughly wash.

[west3man]

I'm guessing that while she was out, Janie got a gun.

You mean bags of peanuts contain other kinds of nuts?

Sorry, I don't sit down in the bathroom ..... EVER!

i dropped my mini disc player in the toilet once. it was in my pocket of my hoody and when i was taking a piss it fell out and landed in the bowl. what made it worse was that i was still pissing when it landed so i was forced to pee all over it. needless to say it no longer works.

That sucks.

I have a huge paranoid fear of dropping stuff in the toilet that isn't pee or poop.

Anytime I use the toilet in my dorm, I hold onto my glasses, phone, what have you, extra hard to avoid that ever happening.

Toilet glasses? No, thank you.

[Sabrina_Fried]

Toilet Glasses. Been There, done that.

Worst part is it was one day when I had the stomach flu and was puking into the toilet. I'll spare you all the details.

Fortunetly in 8 days time Toilet Glasses will no longer be an issue (Toilet post-Lasik eye shields may be an issue for a few days tho)

Because if we saw you face-to-face on a regular basis, we would constantly tease you about your shitty taste in music.

Please tell me the ipod will pull through.
