I very much appreciated the compact size (and multitude of features, and ease of use) of my Nokia 6230i – until I dropped it into a pissoir and it actually fit into the tiny drain hole. Of course, that was after I had relieved myself and before I flushed.I scrubbed every single part including PCB, LCD, battery & keypad with tons of soap, buckets of water and a stiff bristle brush.It still works 100%. (And it doesn’t smell.)
I’ve heard of that “happening”, but never heard of an actual case.
Each of my 3 sons, on the other hand, destroyed a phone by dropping it into a glass of beer (college, as they say, is a fountain of wisdom where many go to drink).

That phone didn’t have much of a camera, but I bet it couldn’t resist taking a flushie.
And before anyone gets picky, yes, I know it didn’t have a camera.

A phone call and a new way to find the layout of your plumbing system?

I know it sounds racist, but in the early days of cell phones this hazard was known as the yellow peril.

See, now if you had a cord on that thing, it wouldn’t have happened.

I am wondering how many plumbers would have been able to own a mobile phone back in 1986

Weren’t the phones in the 80s those huge things with separate hand pieces?

That’s why I hate porta-potties. I imagine my cell phone leaping out of my pocket and drowning in the goop!

Some of our IMTS customers managed to do a similar, by driving off bridges over troubled waters. (retired Bell-head)
