Is it a sign of the times that toilets are now square to accommodate the next obese step in human evolution?

People who drop their phones in a toilet deserve it. It is tough to drop it while sitting and there is a little known thing called pockets to put them in while finishing up your business.

And don't get me started on people who absolutely have to be on the phone in the can. I don't understand that much obsession.

Though I had a friend who had one in his pocket when he jumped into the hot tub. We played "is this level?" the rest of the night.

I confess, while not a cell phone, I have lost a blackberry in a porta potty, took almost two weeks to wash that damned blue stuff off my arms.....

Actually, I have to admit, when it hit the "water" for about a second, I actually did think about trying to retrieve the stupid thing. Thankfully, for three days I had no blackberry and those were three of the most peaceful days I have had in a long, long time...

Hey, if the phone rings while I'm taking a dump, I'm not going to ignore it. It'd be impolite.

Strangely enough, the toilet is probably cleaner than your cell phone.

Dropped mine in the toilet....grabbed it without thinking and took the battery out immediately. Then after letting it dry and sit in rice for well over 24 hours it worked! Still works too. So yea, water is not bad for the phone it's the electricity when it comes in contact with the water.

Especially after it's been on vibrate while you watched porn.

Your post is sorta murky brown, with a yellowish tint.

I forsee this being one of those add-on options for future iPhones. Pay an extra $50 to get the deluxe waterproof treatment.

This. Who the fark drops their phone in the toilet? And to those who do, what are you doing on the toilet that detracts so much attention from HOLDING YOUR PHONE?

Swam with mine in my pocket for a solid 30 minutes. 3 days in rice in the sun and presto... works perfect. It's also taken a 15 foot drop, and several from 5 feet onto a hard surface.

HTC Trophy FTW!

If any of you use your phone while using the toilet, remind me not to borrow your phone.

You don't have to be using the crapper to drop the phone in. The two times I've done it was while talking and balls-to-the-wall haulin' after getting called in to work.
Since the toilet sits next to the sink in most homes, "dropped into the toilet" usually means "bounced off the counter, toilet paper holder, my hands, the seat, and....dammit."

Have a friend who is a canoeing guide and water/abuse is kind of inevitable. Spent a bunch of money on his last phone because he wanted one that was pretty much indestructible. That being said, the rice trick works (thanks NCIS episode!). Had a friend who dropped hers in the toilet. Told her to take out the battery and stick it in rice for a few days and it worked.

This. That's pretty much what happened to her as well.

i have never dropped my phone in the toilet. i have jumped into the jacuzzi a few times with it tho.

Does that rice trick still work if somebody accidentally sticks thier phone up their butt?

My daughter dropped her iPhone 3S in the can. I asked her how she got it out (because I know she's a fussy, girly girl), and she told me she just went right in and grabbed it out. I asked if she had any second thoughts, and she said "Daddy, it's my phone!" in exactly the same tone she'd use if she'd dropped her head in there.
Hair dryer on low, bag of rice, all OK.
