Last Monday I had a Geography test and my professor let me take it later in the afternoon. I was supposed to be at her office at 4:30. When I got to the building I realized that I had five minutes to spare so I decided to use the Ladies Room. As I was walking out to wash my hands I leaned over to grab my back pack when my phone fell out of my pocket and into the toilet! NOOOOO!!! I just starred at the phone for a few seconds not knowing what to do. The first and only thing I could think of was DISEASE!!!! Hello, college campus, dirty toilets, eewww! For a second I considered leaving it. "Just break the wrist and walk away." But, then I thought Ryan would probably throw a fit if I gave up and left it. So, with much hesitation I quickly put my hand in the toilet (the water had already been flushed) and pulled out my phone.
Good thing I was the only one in the bathroom because I was whining and repeating "eeww, gross" the whole time. Once I had my phone I ran over to the sink and put it on a ledge under the mirror. I sat and washed my hands over and over for a long time with scalding hot water and mounds of soap. After I scrubbed my hands I looked at my phone for a second wondering what I should do with it. I didn't want to put in in my backpack while it was still dirty. I tried to turn it back on but it didn't work. So I did what any germ-a-phobic crazy girl would do... I washed my phone. Yes, I washed my phone with lots of soap and hot water! I figured the phone was a goner but at least it was clean when I put it in my backpack.
When I was done I ran to my professors office. Thankfully she had disinfectant wipes! I quickly took my phone apart and cleaned it again! When I got home Ryan could do nothing but tease me all night about washing my phone, but I feel justified in my actions! My phone isn't entirely broken because I can still text message but the sound does not work. So if your trying to get a hold of me don't call, just text! I still need to get a new phone. Ryan thinks that if I had not washed my phone then it would still work, but I still stand by my decision to wash my phone. I'm sure some of you would have done the same too!
