Another one for guys is leaving it on the top of a urinal toilet while going to the bathroom. Why not just stick it in your pocket while you take a pee?

That's how I lost mine at a mall:D
WTF?
Figures getting a call while trying to pee and then having nowhere to stick the iphone 4S to. Just left it there on top of the urinal. Washed my hands and walked out....

:eek::eek::eek:
Me too!! I just want to punch myself and the guy who took it. But since I don't like pain, I'll stick with self loathing :(
Why I usually put my phones in pocket, but at that time, it was pretty full. I had a Blackberry in one pocket, car & house keys, wallet. Didn't think it was a big deal to leave it on the top of the urinal. Obviously it is a big deal. Gone in 10 mins.

While I was vacationing in Barcelona a couple months ago, I also found a Blackberry torch being left in the toilet, on top of the sink. I don't speak the language at all, so I went to find a mall cop and gave it to him. Hopefully, the guy is honest enough to actually return the phone.

Toilet seems to be the perfect place to hunt for lost phones. :D

I hear you.
I caught my self doing it again a few times but lucky didnt walk out without it this time.
Yes, Im one of those that plays with a cellphone while on the toilet:D
 
What happened during that process??

It produced a pretty light show and awful smell. I would still do it again if I could though :D

Usually followed by an insurance claim. :D

No comment....I'm not going to admit to playing Scramble With Friends. Nope.
 
Broken one before. pretty crazy story

I was sitting shotgun in a friends car in the student parking lot. His car was a 3 door truck, so when i first got in i had not closed the door correctly. We were at the stop light bout to exit the parking lot.

The light turns green, and the door swings open, I immediately reach over to grab the door and quickly shut it, little did i realize that i had recently set my phone on my lap.

When i leaned over to shut the door, the phone fell out! I jumped out of the car, to grab it. I ran over to the phone...it was lying face down with tire tracks all over the back!

My phone had gotten ran over :(

Surprisingly everything on the phone still wroked! Although the screen was completely cracked
 
None and I don't get how people do. Well technically I broke one after smashing it against walls throwing it at rocks down aisles at Walmart and other extreme circumstances it took a while but I finally broke it.

uhhh...they drop it either not in a case or in a cheap one...
 
Two.
3GS - Was pushed in the pool while holding it.
4 - Fell out of my pocket while running and the screen shattered.
 
Joined the "Just dropped my phone in my on urine club" with a 3gs and another one had an unfortunate mountain biking accident while riding Slick Rock. Other than that I've been good.


Dane Cook: Dropping Your Phone in Your Own Urine
I'm in a new club, by the way. And I don't know if you're first timers like I am, but I'm in the 'I Just Dropped My Cell Phone In My Own Urine' Club. Have you done that? Yeah, good times. I'm on the phone and I forget that I'm using shoulder technique. Urinals were taken so I went in to use the regular john. And as I'm standing there, mid-conversation, I'm like 'Are you serious?' and it just started to toboggan right down my powerful chest.....

You should google the un-edited audio, it's quite funny.
 
My iPhone 4 was pickpocketed from a holster case on my belt a couple of months ago.

Learning curve = now my 4s stays in a hard leather slip case in my jeans pocket !
 
I haven't broken one, but I did leave a 3GS in my pants pocket once and my wife put the pants in the washer. Seems the cardinal rules wouldn't have have saved me. You need to revise them to say the pants have to be on your person...

My 4 has fallen twice and lived both times. The first was a 10 foot drop from the second floor onto tile below. The second was a 3 foot fall onto tile. Both by my daughter, who was 2 for the first incident and 3 for the second.
 
Broke an iPad, trashed my android to hell, but I won't be making those mistakes with my new iPhone 5! Case by Otterbox and apple care+ all the way.
