iPhones and washing machines

mother fucker

And it was on an extra rinse too.

So the story goes - I was given a redskin at work last night before I left. Now they are too hard for me but I love the flavour. So I puts it in my back pocket for the drive home to soften it and forgot about it. 3 hours later I realise it is in there and it is stuck like shit to a blanket to the inside of my pocket. So I go upstairs and pull all the stuff out of my pockets like my phone, keys, wallet etc and then take my jeans off. Flip the pocket inside out and got the redskin out without any real dramas. All good I thought. So I put them back on, put my phone in my pocket and continue with my evening.

I get up this morning, remembering the redskin incident, put my jeans in the wash. Some time later, I go to text Hazelb and cant find my phone. The realisation hit when it wasnt in my pocket, wasnt with my wallet and keys and wasnt on the charger. The feeling of dread at that point was immense.

mother fucker.

And I didnt even get to eat the redskin

Check the immersion indicators Studley.

Should be as red as a baboons arse.

The positive, now you can get a real phone.

i've heard they can dry out pretty good if they sit in a bowl of uncooked rice. There was a lot of people talking about it after the Brisbane floods of 2011.

If only you have the iScrub app with the corresponding case.

I dont think he hates iPhones, he has just found something else that he prefers. iTunes on the other hand...... and I will agree with him there.
