Bikes and phones.

Got up early for a ride last Saturday and had a look at the rain radar
which showed rain coming, but not too heavy and being warm, decided to
go out.
Quick nibble, shove the mobile in the jersey pocket and off I go for 2
hours. Well the rain did come and I did get wet...that was OK, but I'd
forgotten about the damn phone in the pocket which got wet enough. The
phone never stopped working, but the screen has gone and does not look
like working again.
The older mobiles you could drop in water and they would come good, but
the newer ones with the fancy screens are **** weak. Be careful!

Took me about 5 secs. to think of that after I realised the damage, but
thanks for the thought anyway.

If the phone's insured, just tell the insurance company that you
'accidentally' dropped the phone in the soap bucket while washing your
car. Legend has it that they believe that story.

Perhaps to give it more credence, you should actually perform this
act... :-)

.... washing the bike, not the car! Philistine!

Doesn't nsurance cover "storm damage" ?

They believe anything and don't usually argue. My son had a phone that was
giving him endless trouble with drop-outs so he put it under the wheel of
his Jeep and dropped the clutch. Gave them the (now delaminated) phone and
they gave him a new one.

Just check the insurance covers it. My contents insurance specifically
doesn't cover mobiles outside the house.

So I guess they'd have to be run over by the vacuum cleaner.
