What NOT to do with your cellphone
or "why you should have cellphone insurance"

When buying a cellphone, some people think the insurance is just another way for cell phone companies to seperate you from your money. Before you decided not to buy that insurance, here are a few true stories of things that have happened to cell phones.

Squeaky Clean

While mopping the floor one day, my friend leaned over too close to the mop bucket and dropped the phone into the nice hot, bleach and soap water. It never worked again.

Apple EWE!

One day while in a rush I, I mean, a friend of mine put a jar of applesauce in her purse along with her cell phone. When I, I mean, my friend got home, she opened her purse to find that the lid had come off the jar and her phone was soaking in applesauce. It was sticky and the buttons would stay down if pushed, but it worked until her replacement phone came in the mail.

Apple EWE number 2

A friend of mine was given a bag of apples for free and put them in her bag. The idea was that the person giving them away was giving them to her before they went bad. When she got home, she found her phone soaking in some sticky liquid and couldn't figure out what it was. Turns out the apples in the bag were so old, they were liquifying in her bag and something had punctured the bag letting all the apple goo run onto her phone.

That phone is hothothot!

I'll try to type this one without laughing too hard... My friend, her husband and her kids went camping for Mother's Day. Her sister had come up later in the day to camp out with them and they were waiting for her hubby and kid to arrive when it started thundering and lightening. My friend grabbed her kids and went down to the parking spot and loaded them in while her hubby and sis put out the camp fire completely. They went to her house and slept there. In the morning, since the weather cleared, my friend went back to the camp site to start the fire and finish their camp out. While getting the fire pit ready, she found a small circuit board, a blob of burned plastic and a small clear window that was on the cellphone. He DID have his phone in his pocket but at some point it fell out while he was tending the fire and that was the end of that phone.

SO, enjoy your cellphone and should ever you think nothing will happen to your phone, well, we thought that too.
