BlackBerry 8700 + Toilet at the State Fair of Texas

[StarsFan4Life]

So a user called me just now and said that ever since they dropped their device in the toilet and left it out to dry....that it had been working funky. We got deeper into the conversation and she dropped it in the damn toilet at the State Fair of Texas......

THEN SHE PICKED IT OUT OF THE TOILET....

Disgusting as shit and I have touched the f'in thing since then.


My question - would you have picked it back out of the toilet at the State Fair of Texas?

I'm trying to make my decision... Was the bowl clean?

No, but I could probably substitute one the public toilets at Grand Central Station for comparison.

 

[FDF12389]

NO

 

[clamum]

Probably.

Tell her this. "Put a chain on the PDA and tie the chain around your neck."

Yeah, I'll go with that answer.

 

[JohnCU]

negatory.

 

[dbk]

Did she drop it before or after using the toilet?

I would probably not pick it up.

No.

Instead, I would have burst out of the enclosure and flapped my arms spasmodically while running around in dramatically erratic circles, stopping only to emit high pitched squeals and gurgles of girly regret.

Then I would have gone home and had a good cry.

In other words, yes.

I'd man up, avert my head, and reach in and retrieve that sucker, then wash as thoroughly and obsessively as time and circumstance allowed. After, I would speak of said incident to no one, ever . . . until the first drunken party, at which time I'd tell the entire story in all its disgusting detail, exaggerating wildly for comic effect while substituting you, StarsFan4Life, as the victim.

Something my dad was once told:
"If the worst thing you ever have to touch is shit, you're damn lucky."


Bacteria can be killed pretty easily. Don't lick your fingers clean, and wash off the Blackberry and your hands. You'll be fine.

If it was sitting on a poo island, I'd rescue it. But if it was drowning then berry overboard and oh well.

 

[TallBill]

As long as it didn't fall into liquid feces, I don't see the issue. You get more germs grabbing a handful of holiday caramel popcorn then picking a phone out of a toilet.

 

[Alone]

Yes, I probably wouldn't.

Scratch that, I definitely would.

 

[Sumguy]

No, judging from what I see from a fair at my city...I'd just tell insurance I dropped it down a storm drain.

 

[Number1]

People are dense. Pick the phone up, put it in the sink, rinse it thoroughly and wash your hands. Listening to some people in here, you wonder how they ever manage the courage to wipe their own ass, Hell they might get shit on their hands....

I dislike liars, even if something minor like this.

A BB 8700 is like $70 used on ebay. I would just buy a used one to replace it if I were the user.
