Funny ways you have lost or broken your mobile phone

[Eire06]

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!!!

Well in Galway we do get a lot of visitors for Mayo, Roscommon and Longford and they tend to bring their dates... so its not uncommon to see a few sheep about at a weekend

[sligoman]

Maybe her date that night dropped her back home?

Or maybe the sheep was her date?

Just a joke Eire

Nokia 6230, €80 with the upgrade option I had...

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

I found that too. Takes a bit of drying out, but it'll be grand after a day or so.

Broke my first phone throwing it at my brother (he had just woken me up for about the 5th time that afternoon), missed his head, hit the wall, smashed all over the place. Kept turning itself off after that.
This was a phone that survived being dropped on a road, breaking into pieces and skidding across 3 lanes of traffic and all.

Next phone I broke playing snooker (a lesson for everyone). Leant against the table too hard, crack. Screen got broke, couldn't use it.

Apart from that my phones have decided to die from time to time, the Carphone Warehouse must know my face by now, I've used my phone insurance that many times.

Bathing the youngest back in the days of yore, I'd had the phone (Nokia 5110, probably best ever) in my shirt pocket and leaning over the bath in plopped the phone to my annoyance and literally a shock to the young lad as the battery discharged.

Don't care if Mythbusters say it doesn't/can't happen - it can and it did!

[Danny]

was goin out in my car and had the fone (5110) in my pocket, it must have fell out of the pocket as i got into the car, without noticing i reveresed out of the driveway and over the fone. Screen was cracked but it still worked a treat until i could afford a new one.

Also dropped another fone i had and cracked the cover. Had Eircell insurance on it so put in a claim, said it rang and with the virbration it fell off the table, the suckers believed it and i got a new fone out of it...

[Peadar]

I was walking along with my mate when his phone slipped out of his hand. He tried to "catch" it on his foot but ended up drop kicking it about 10m.
Being a Nokia, the covers flew off as soon as it touched the ground, making it look like it was completely destroyed.
It clicked back together and seemed to work ok but the screen kept losing power. He was close to tears, the poor fella.

My brother and a few of us coming out of a bar in Belfast, completely rat-arsed one night, he got a call from the girlfriend. Of course, he had taken the unfinished pint outside with him in his inside coat pocket . Chatted to her for a while then went to put the mobile back inside his coat, forgot about the pint and dropped it right into the pint of Bud . Gaaabsh!te!!! Luckily my other brother's friend worked in a mobile phone shop and got him a replacement on the cheap .......

[Poor Student]

Only ever had the one phone. No humorous situations. Once at the 17 bus stop in UCD I dropped it on the corner of the kerb and it smashed into all its individual pieces. Cover, battery, SIM card, key pad. Got a few looks of "the poor *******" as I scampered after my pieces to reassemble it.

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

[QUOTE=PAURO 7]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.

You should have just sent him down to the Leinster arms or the night club in the Glen Royal, he would have fitted in there very well, or just stick him on a 66 bus and tell him to get off in Liexlip if he wants to behave like that.

[aido_b]

This happened to a friend of mine, I thought it was class!We were heading home one evening having been out on the beer in Dublin, my pal always heads for a kebab as soon as we leave the club whereas a few of us will wait outside till we're all together and then head home.

We were walking home when we spotted my friend and his kebab across the Liffey leaning over the boardwalk eating his kebab so we rang him to tell him to wait there whilst we ran around to him. Now his phone was the motorola ones that have the flip screen so when he (in his drunken state) went to flick open the phone to answer it he flicked it straight into the Liffey. The funniest thing was that there was about 10 of us across the Liffey ****ing ourselves larfing at him!

hmm, reading between the lines but surely you dont have your girlfriend in under:
"my girlfriend"

so how did she know to txt your girlfriends number???!?!?!?

poohbear by any chance?

i assume she read my messages, and from reading certain ones it was quite clear who my girlfriend was

also had a phone that survived being thrown in a rage across the road ad smashing into pieces, front/back cover separating,battery and simcard all over the place,put it back together and it worked grand

Was in Istanbul last month for 'that match!!'

What match?

Never lost my phone, but i left it out in a storm one night, luckily a leaf had landed on it (ridiculous, i know) and sheltered it from much of the rain. It got a good clean out and all!

[Éanna]

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.

Similar thing happened to me when I was living in Spain. I was walking down the street talking to someone on the phone, just as I hung up, two young moroccan lads came over and asked me could they borrow my phone to make a call cos they had no credit. I (obviously) said no, and walked off, but they followed me and backed me into a corner of a square I was walking through. One of them tried to grab the phone out of my hand and we were trying wrestle it off each other, then the other fella started pulling a knife out of his jacket. When I saw the knife, I just said "ok, ok, take the phone." Just as i said it, the other guy loosened his grip on the phone so I grabbed it and ran like mad. It was pretty stupid of me, total red mist reaction, but I'd only bought the phone 3 days beforehand cos I'd lost one in a taxi on the way home a week beforehand, so I was NOT giving up another one!

[drinkfeckarse]

got chipper threw it at the pub door

Exactly the type of behaviour I've witnessed from anyone called "Anto"

[onenilgameover]

Dunno what my Dad thought but I found it when I was leavin the stadium later on in pieces with screen etc all smashed up bout 200 metres form where I was sitting!! Wel worth it though!!!

Are you the same Liverpool fan that through his phone at Rooney at Anfield?

[Nempton]

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only bloke who's ever dropped his phone into a toilet
When I was in my first year of college I got a mobile phone (a Phillips one) for the first time as part of some deal with AIB. I was drinking in Dolans pub in Limerick. I was out for the 'one' drink and had to go to the toilet. I was wearing a hoodie and had the phone in the front pocket. I was in a cubicle, flushed the toilet and turned to leave and the phone just flew into the toilet. Thankfully it wouldn't flush, the only time I'll ever say that and I reached in without thinking and retrieved it. The phone didn't work so when I went home later that night I put it on a radiator. A few days later it was working. One week later I'm back in Dolans just for the 'one' again and had to go to the toilet. Not wanting to put my hand in the toilet for a second time I put the phone on top of the toilet. As I flushed the toilet and turned to leave I remembered the phone, I reached out to grab it and ended up knocking it into the toilet. Once more it was a case of hand in the toilet and let it dry on the radiator. But alas this time the phone was dead. So I did the only thing I could do, I sent it back to Phillips and told them that for some strange reason my phone stopped working. I got a new phone of them and I got to keep the same number I had. After that I never dropped a mobile phone into a toilet ever again. True story
