Had a hard week, thought I would relax and take a bubble bath...

[Haole Girl]

dropped my iPhone in the bathtub.

My husband is going to kill me.

:cry:

1. They don't float?

Damn, Steve Jobs is getting soft

[Haole Girl]

2. Nope...

sank like a rock. :-(

[supernova]

3. can you dry it out?

[Haole Girl]

4. I've been souring the web...

I'm trying the bag of dry rice thing now.

Hubby just got home. He is NOT pleased. :-(

I have no phone for 2 days, it seems... if I'm lucky to have one after that.

[DS1]

5. *psst*

Tell him the reason you were taking it in the bath tub was to take naked bubbly bathtub pics to send him

( It would work on me at any rate )

[Haole Girl]

7. hehe

dammit... should have tried that.

[DS1]

21. This is why I should be a 'fixer' ala Winston Wolf

All I need is the Acura NS-X

[billyskank]

23. It's 30 minutes away.

I'll be there in ten.

[LisaM]

6. I'm sorry about your phone

But why did you have it in the bathtub? Just curious.

[Haole Girl]

8. Um...

multi-tasking. :blush:

[LisaM]

14. Well that's no way to relax!!

In a way, I'm glad this happened to you :sarcasm: You need to let go of all that stuff in your relaxing baths! (But I'll only be glad if the phone recovers - too expensive to lose in a tub).

[Haole Girl]

16. Hey..

we all have our unique ways of relaxing! lol

[LisaM]

18. I've seen three Murder She Wrote episodes

Where the victim was in a hot tub/bathtub and was electrocuted by a television. So I fear electronics in the bathroom!

[Dogtown]

22. Ring set to "vibrate"

hmmmn?

[Haole Girl]

27. Noooooo

Honestly! No!

[Lyric]

9. We just had a similar mess here.

Our son left a cell phone in the pocket of his jeans, and ThinkBlue1966 put the jeans in the washer without realizing that there was something in the pocket.

We have it taken apart to dry out, and are praying that it works again. Those prepaid minutes are too expensive to lose $30 worth without a lot of pain for us. *sigh*

[Haole Girl]

11. Hope your son's phone dries out quickly, too!

:hi:

[samuraiguppy]

10. I have put several phones through the

washing machine and they always dried out fine.

I have also spilled water on my laptop numerous times and it dried out fine.

I have never heard of the rice thing--what is that?

[Haole Girl]

12. Thanks; that is encouraging

Here is a link: http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/01/10/what-to-do-if-your-iphone-gets-wet/

[samuraiguppy]

13. interesting. I wonder if this will

work on non-i-phones....

But have faith--simply drying phones/computers out does work most of the time.

15. Thanks for the heads-up, KC2. I was thinking about dropping my iTouch in the tub.

Now, I guess I won't. B-)

[Haole Girl]

17. ha-ha

;-) :hi:

[Aristus]

19. Hey!

:hi:

[bigwillq]

20. Oh jeez.

That sucks. :( :hug:

[bigwillq]

24. Oh jeez

I killed this thread. :( Kick!

[Haole Girl]

25. lol!

You didn't kill this thread, silly. It's a day old! :hug: :loveya:

[Redstone]

26. Uh, doesn't the concept of RELAXING include getting away from the PHONE anymore?

I guess not.

[Haole Girl]

28. Not for me, I'm afraid! lol

But I can see where that would be the case for some people. :hi:
