Then yesterday, real tragedy struck. For some reason I was washing the dishes with my iPhone in my hand (yeah, I know... I've made better decisions). as I'm sure you can imagine the iPhone plunked right down into a pot full of water. It wasn't really submerged, but definitely got wet and started acting funny. It was randomly buzzing when it wasn't supposed to and not buzzing when it was supposed to, etc. I started researching blackberry's online because I thought it was on its last leg. RIP iPhone. But this morning, it appears to be back to normal. HOORAY! Good bless you, Steve Jobs. I am trying to hold out until a new iPhone comes out this summer since mine is 2 years old now.
This morning I get this g-chat:
N: last night i spilled water on my comp but it was fine, wanna go halvsies on a fruit basket for steve jobs?
me: hahahahahahah
yes.
we owe him our life this week.
N: definitely.
i'd much rather spring for an edible arrangement than a new computer.
also, edible arrangement sounds very dirty
me: 9:18 AM and you already went there.
good work.
So thanks Steve, we are SO HAPPY all our gadgets are still working. PHEW!
Bahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteThe trick with wet phones or other small electronics is to place them in a bowl of rice. Seriously, get a bag of cheap rice, fill up a big bowl and cover your iPhone. It helps suck all the moisture out. I have had to do it a few times. -Jason
ReplyDeleteHaha, I've done similar things. One time while taking a bubble bath and had my computer perched on my closed toilet so I could watch a missed gossip girl episode. When I got out my wet hair caused the computer to act up for 24 hours. I hear you, sister. Technology can be fickle, or maybe it's just the water..
