Here is what I did.

You don't have to tell me how nasty this is, of course I know that.

So the phone drops in, I'm panicked. My first reaction is to reach right in after it, but we are not talking about a urinal here people, we are talking about a toilet bowl, filled with nasty city water and my urine.

I stop my hand from crossing the point of no return and instead I shift my eyes around the bathroom. I ponder flushing the toilet, hoping that the phone will nestle in a spot where I can more easily scoop it out, but alas, the fear of the toilet pressure washing the phone down into the depths of the city sewer system is something I just can not bear. I see only one option, so I'm forced to try it. I grab the plunger in the corner of the room, and I plunge.

At first I have to fish around with the plunger to locate the phone as the water is dyed with a slightly dehydrated blend making visual navigation a challenge. Let me tell you people, I like a challenge, and a challenge is what I had. Once I was able to feel the phone and move it around in the bowl with the rubber end of the plunger I took my first stab at plunging. Failure. A second, third, fourth and fifth attempt. Same result. Co-workers attempted and also failed.

Moral of the story. Plungers do no work to get phones out of toilets and it costs $49.99 for a new LG Shine at your local AT&T store.


mmmmk Bye!

this story just kills me.

you should have pinned the phone against the toilet bowl with the handle end of the plunger and drug it up out of the 'danger zone' and then grabbed it with a wad of tp. it sounds like it might of worked.

or not.

i don't think you should multi-task in the restroom. :)
