Walking a girl home from a club and stopped for a "rest" on someones garden wall. Got a little carried away and she knocked me over the wall and into the garden. My back on the deck, my legs still up on the wall and her on top of me. We picked ourselves up and went off.
Woke up the next morning and couldn't find my phone.
Retraced my steps and found it covered in muck in the flower beds of the garden. Of course, being summer in Ireland, it had lashed rain during the night. The phone never worked properly again.

just noticed it was missing one day and phoned it from the landline to see if it was about the house. heard a faint ring and buzz from the utility room where I'd just switched on the washing machine ...then it stopped.

it had just gone in the hot wash with my football gear

It's never a good idea to wring your clothes!

Was very drunk in O rafferty's a long time ago. Put my phone on the side of the sink, but being drunk, managed to knock it straight into the sink which was full of wet tissues and water

Never worked again after that.

Also in o Rafs, was drinking with Pat O banton in the early evening and had left my phone on the table while i went to the bar. A begger came in, distracted Pat and my phone was gone

but it was £1 a pint so I had a good place to drown my sorrows

Not me, but the brother got a 3210 a few years ago, and wanted to see if the vibrations would break a pint glass. So he put it on top of the glass, and rang it from the land line. Of course, if he emptied the pint glass first it would have been better!!

take out the part about your phone and that seems like a typical evening drinking with pat.

Was at a house party when i was living in Maynooth way back, this random fella was off his tits and started jumping about like a lunatic. He picked up my phone which was on the table and threw it against the wall. my mate who's house party it was, immediately pinned him against the wall, demanded he pay me back for my phone and threw him out!

my current phone has a very well placed crack in the bottom corner of the screen, by colliding into a printing machine at work, my phone was in my pocket while i was carrying my cuppa....

**paul_oshea** · 21/06/2005, 9:48 AM

thats a funny one tests doh!!

a mate over here has those builders phones and he was throwing it out of the top floor in his house onto the ground and it wouldnt break, dropped it in a pint glass and it wouldnt break, fooked it against a wall and it wouldnt break, so one of the lads grabs it and says ill break it and stamps on it. hehe i dont think it broke, but he did have to get a new phone

i once dropped mine down the toilet, it was the older version of the builders phone above, and it still worked!!!!

**Drumcondra Red** · 21/06/2005, 9:57 AM

Thankfully (touch wood I won't) I've never actually lost or broken a phone but every 2 years or so, my phone decides to turn itself off and thats the end of that!

In Supermacs on O'Connell Street. I was just in there to avail of the toileting facilities. I was in the cubicle and I was removing my jacket. Unfortunately my phone was in the pocket and as the jacket was raised up it slid out of my pocket. It hit the toilet rim and slid round a lil and came to a stop. Filled with relief I went to grab it, hit the lid accidentally and Splash!!! Into a bog in supermacs. I have NEVER lost my sim card in the 10 years I have it so without thinking, hand plunged in after it. At this point I thanked my habit of flushing the toilet instantly as I walk in. Still, I washed my hand many many many times after. Phone was half broken but I bought a new one as I would never ever feel happy putting it to my mouth/ear again.

Someone robbed my phone, I was drunk, saw it happen and due to the fact I had the same sim for 9 years at the time, ran after them. I wrestled the phone back and walked away. Little did I know his mates were around the corner. Had a bit of a face re-arranging take place but I emerged, covered in blood and with cuts inside my mouth and on my face and a busted nose, but with my phone

At this point I'd like to point out, that was an utterly stupid thing I did.

I had my bag with my phone in it robbed from a pub in Galway city centre..

Two days later I had a call to my house phone, some farmer who lived nearly 50 miles away found one of his sheep eating my bag in his field

the phone was the only thing left in it so he brought it back home to charge it and found a home number in it and rang me.. Some people are so good

Was a bit pi$$ed off cause the bag was worth far more than the phone.. and was half chewed so he threw it away!! Never really go over loosing that bag

i notice you edited the post, to include that last line, i dont know whether or not you did that after reflecting on ways you could copy your sim details to your computer ( easier than running 10 yards after that guy ) or because you realised how stupid it is when all you really lose is peoples numbers. either way you seem to realise how lucky you were and how stupid you were. fair play.

eire06 id say the sheep felt the same way afterwards!

Are you suspecting the sheep too? How that Sheep managed to go unnoticed in Galway City and then travel back 50 miles to his farm is STUNNING!!!

Its rare I really ever do stupid things that endanger me, but I was just so mad at being robbed that I just reacted. Anyways you live and learn.

No phone is worth that....

Haven't broken a phone as such. Just batteries going, but by that stage I'm usually due an upgrade anyway... Just got one, so now I've entered the camera and video phone age - right up to date I am

**steven17** · 21/06/2005, 11:09 AM

Once again Paul shows his concern for the sheep over the lady.

When my mate had his phone stolen out of his pocket, we were thinking of ways to harm the theives.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could ring a special number and the phone would explode! Ok maybe just a dye pack or give an electric shock.
