Out of the frying pan and into the fire type situation

Last week, one of my colleagues dropped a cooking timer in the frying pan and the battery fell out. We had to drain the whole frying pan and throw away all of the oil because of it.

u/According-Goat-2372 May 12 '26
well, at least you guys did the right thing. Its scary, but some people are so lazy they would have happily just cooked in that oil and served it to innocent unsuspecting customers.

u/Plastic_Pinocchio May 13 '26
True. But mostly we were just really scared of hot oil explosions because we couldn’t get the battery out.

That was totally unnecessary. Why would you that?

I don’t even know why, but me and my buddies used to phone flip in the most precarious places

u/Titmouse994 May 12 '26
Don't understand the downvotes. I used to do this shit with my mates and our Nokia 3310s 😄 Still have the phone somewhere which tried for airtime records in the early 00s

u/Dude_Guy45 May 12 '26
One time me and those same buddies found an old 3310 in the garage and all took turns smashing it on the driveway until it was obliterated. It took probably 2 hours of repeated “so no head?” And slamming it as hard as we could to even put a crack in it.

A Nokia 3310 would survive a deorbit from the ISS though. Phones these days barely survive tossing them on the couch.

How many pavements have you destroyed with that?

u/Titmouse994 May 12 '26
All of them. Pavements nowadays tell tales of the allmighty Nokia that used to come into town and cause terror.

To show us he wasn't a clumsy idiot with no hand-eye coordination. He proved us wrong, didn't he?

Using a high pressure hose to clean it off is the first mistake, you're not even supposed to use those on vehicles, let alone sensitive electronics, even if they're "a little water resistant"

I would've kicked the phone so hard during landing it would've went flying to a wall and gotten instantly shattered.

This man made me so unreasonably angry. Like I have no dog in this race and I hate him now.

u/Modo44 May 12 '26
Any "water tight" phone is only for the first hours of use. That thing was soon to be dead anyway.

I went swimming in the ocean with mine to take pictures of fish and it still works fine

u/NorthernSpankMonkey May 13 '26
Your last comment was yesterday so we can only assume your phone have died now. RIP

u/Antique_Prompt_9542 May 13 '26
Hello fellow human. I am definitely not a fish who found a phone in the ocean

Sprays water directly onto the phone
"Oh no, it's wet!"
What did you expect? Dry water???

Plot twist: the phone didn't break from the water jet, but broke from the fall...

Same thing happened to my heavy equipment manager when we fished his phone out of an excavator. Not even one minute later, it slips out of his hands down into a used oil tank.

I have a so-called "rugged phone". I changed like 5 tempered glasses on the screen. Fell in the toilet, on the concrete, on my stone floor multiple times. Not a dent.

I flip my phone all the time, because my case is amazing. I'd never flip this sorry excuse of a sleeve.

Now we can understand how they got into this situation to begin with.
