Cabbage Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Pet Hates: People who do not function in the morning, myself included, when someone says something to you you just you can only give a glaikit look or a "uuuhhh" at best. I had a prime example on the train to work this morning when some lassy on the train inadvertantly threw her phone at me while moving her coat, not only did she not even notice, she still didn't notice when i put it on the table in front of her and asked if she wanted her phone back. Maybe it was my error as I referred to a blackberry as a "phone".She should have taken a thermos of coffee/gin with her me thinks.Also hating today: Punctures.

Jaaakkkeee Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Pet Hate: Bad advice.Dropped my phone in coffee. So I did what everyone said to do "pop it a bowl of rice for a couple of hours". Then my sister said her friend went in the sea with her phone and when she took it home she let it charge over night and it came on in the morning.So, this morning, after having it's couple of hours rice time and an overnight charge, it still wouldn't turn on. I go online and find this.Power off the device (if it's not off already) and try to completely cover the iPod or iPhone in a bowl of rice. Rice being a natural desiccant will help absorb the excess moisture. Let it dry for at least 24 hours and DO NOT try to charge the device.Fucking fantastic.

Scootray Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Take it apart and leave it in an airing cupboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 The bowl of rice will work for water. Not so sure about coffee though! Anything containing sugar will fuck it. If you'd taken it apart and rinsed it water then put it rice you might have had a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be a bit careful with the oven though if you dont want toasted phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 There wasn't sugar in the coffee. I'm a real man.To think, I'm an electronics tech and I never thought about the whole short circuit scenario...Also, I've no idea where to start when it comes to taking an iphone 4 apart and I was in a panicked state trying to find rice.

Moose Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Apparently if you repeatedly fart on a wet iPhone (farts must be dry) and hum All Mine by Portishead, a portal will open up, which is called an iPortal. In the iPortal, if you correctly answer a series of questions about the history of Apple, you then fight the spirit of Steve Jobs, whom you must defeat in order for him to assign you an iDrier, which is used to dry Apple products.This was Jobs' last innovation, which he had to sacrifice his living body for. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 My grandad, being the hardy farming bastard he is, once dropped his phone (nokia 5210) in an open pit of cow slurry (lovely mix of poo and pee), fished his phone out with a fishing net, popped it in a sink of hot soapy water and left it in the oven to dry. This was around 6 years ago and he still uses it to this day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Bank Of Scotland cover water and liquid damage. The iPhone's backed up through iTunes and thanks to iCloud I have easy access to all my contacts whilst I'm using a different phone.I love technology.

I fuckin hate that .... interact with the person you are with not SOC who is somewhere else ...That's really common these days to be fair. My phone stays firmly in my pocket when I'm socialising other than to maybe send a text or something which is related to the chat. I.e. having some lad banter when pissed and thinking it would be hilarious for everyone to text one of your mates who isn't there something like "YOU'RE A HOMO" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I quite often find myself having a pint with my best mate and periodically we both take the phone out to text our bints. because they are even worse bints if we don't reply instantly.I find myself in trouble all the time for not replying to the wife. I was being sociable in the pub with my mates and I didn't hear my phone, okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're my ears, bitch.I genuinely don't hear my phone now though. I've got a work blackberry that no matter how many times I alter the settings so that it vibrates when it's out of the "holster" it seems to reset itself when I'm not looking and the only time it makes a noise is when it's ringing and one little beep for a text. If it's in my pocket in a busy pub (or seemingly anywhere to be honest) I just don't hear the thing unless it vibrates.It's got me in trouble when I'm not even out drinking because I haven't came home with a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
