My wife's iPhone fell in a Porta-Potty

hehe...i bet apple would love to get that in the mail...
They'd probably think it was hate mail (from a Windows fanboy?
), someone literally telling them the iPhone was a P.O.S. No sane person would send them an iPhone covered in crap!My husband wouldn't be telling me whether I could have a new one nor would I be asking. I would make that decision myself. Accidents happen. Go buy a new one.
This reminded me of that famous line that starts out some well known movies and TV Series...
"To go where no man has gone before"
And it would remain unexplored territory!

I probably wouldn't even reach in and get it it was a regular public toilet.
Anyone ever see that episode of Cheaters where the guy hides in a port a potty and it's turned over with him inside it by the jilted lover? He then proceeds to a car wash and sprays himself off.

Eww...I can honestly say that, even though I love my iPhone, I wouldn't NEVER, NEVER, dig through a porta potty to get it back. [insert smilie losing lunch here] Of course, the situation would never happen...I'd rather go behind a porta potty than actually go in one.
Ha. You beat me to it.
My version of the story has the guy dropping his cell phone into a pit toilet. He takes a look down the hole, reaches into his back pocket, pulls out his wallet, and throws it in. When somebody asks him why, he says "Because it wasn't worth going down there for just the cell phone."
Regular washroom would hands down reach in there...toliets you can actually see the bottom and use a nearby broom or whatever to reach it (if it's dirty).
As for answering OQ about Port a potty...from the seat to the surface of the liquid it already is like the length of my arm...how in the world do you reach in there and go all the way down to grab it?
If I dropped £500 in a porter potty you would have to pay me £500 to dig it out. Then I'd be stinkin' rich!
Too funny!
I would dare my brother, (he'll do anything for a crisp $1 bill USD) and wish him "Good Luck" and have the evidence bag ready for shipping as soon as the iPhone hits fresh air! LOL
Either way, with some of the responses to this thread I was laughing pretty darn hard. The line about "not even digging my wife out" was priceless. Needless to say when I shared that one with my wife... I got the look of well you know what look I am talking about.
For me... the phone is gone. I would have to buy a new one. No way in hell would I stick my hand in there. Especially if it sank to the bottom. Good god. And of course you know it was one that has been sitting out side the whole weekend at a concert/fest/carnival/ etc and hasn't been cleaned. And you know that there was some guy(s) who couldn't handle the six pounds of the "Tornado of fury chili" that ripped through his body like a instant colon cleaner.
So needless to say I wouldn't have gone in for it.

Nothing short of life or death would make me stick my hand in there
and fish around!
OK maybe if I could see whatever I was looking for. But kind of *stirring things around*?
Excuse me while I go throw up.

I wouldn't even have picked it up if it fell on the floor. Gross! I'm a germ freak though. I've learned to accept that though.
Update from the source
My wife got a Nokia 6555 today to temporarily replace Porta Potty iPhone for a few months. Talk about a downgrade...ouch. The intention is to give her mine when the 3g ever comes out....thanks for the suggestions everyone. Interestingly enough, I called Apple and they said they would give me a $100 off if I could retrieve the iPhone from the Blue Juice. They need a core though. It was a 4GB we got for $299 after Steve lowered the prices in August, so probably not worth it. If anyone wants to fish it out, it is in the porta-potty at La Purisma Mission. That's the only hint you'll get.

I would not retrieve anything.
I would not retrieve my wife if she fell into a porta-potty (if I had a wife, maybe that's why I don't).

Thats pretty poor show lol, so you would just leave her floating around in the human waste?? lol
Yeah, my girlfriend didn't find it very funny, haha. In all seriousness, I was joking.
To the OP, at least you have an excuse to pick up a 3g iPhone in a couple months maybe
I would drink the blue liquid so that I can retrieve he iPhone with my hands without them getting gunked up.
