5 Easy Ways to Lose a Mobile Phone
An iota of carelessness on your part may force you to part with your dearest gadget – your mobile handset. These days, life without a mobile is almost impossible to imagine. Thus, it becomes necessary to guard your handset all the time. Electronic gadgets are wonderful masterpieces of technology – hardware and software technology rolled into one!. Simultaneously, they are the most vulnerable breed of items used by us. A little fall, even from a paltry 4 feet, or a little liquid may spoil your handset beyond repair. Here are some of the easiest methods which would make sure that you and your handset are separated beyond reunion. Consider yourself lucky if the handset remains intact after these mishaps. Forgetting your handset Humans are error prone machines designed by God. So, it’s natural for them to forget something while they are engrossed in other daily cares of the world. Majority of people have the habit of placing their phone on the coffee table, work table, counters, etc. What happens usually is this: they have a nice chat with their acquaintance; they say their goodbyes and only realize loosing their phone when they are half way down the home. Or, even worse, they realize it after reaching home. And in 70% of the cases, the handset was comfortably lifted up from the table by somebody else (coffee house staff, restaurant staff, other people, etc.). Dry cleaned alongwith dirty laundry There might have been some occasions where you forgot to take out your phone from your pocket. You were lucky that you cared to check the pocket of your trousers before giving the trousers for laundry. Not everyone is so lucky. People toss their dirty laundry into the washing machine and the handset goes through a spin cycle with dirty laundry. In the majority of cases, it is ruined beyond repair. Or worse, if you give a major chunk of your laundry to a dry-cleaner then you might never see your phone again. Over-zealousness on the dance floor People while dancing, tend to stuff their phones in the front upper pocket of the shirt or in the back pocket of their trousers. With violent shaking, the phone usually jumps out. I’ve seen the screens of expensive handsets breaking when the mobile jumps out of someone’s pocket and smashes to the floor. The result- broken display and/or camera. Also, if someone else crushes the phone with his/her feet, then the damages are bound to multiply. And if a girl’s pencil heels decide to put the entire weight of the girl onto your handset through an area of 0.5 square cms (an enormous pressure!), then it is better you forget about the fact that your phone once existed on the planet! Be drunk, be foolish It’s quite a common occurrence to loose your stuff while you’re drunk. And, the chances of loosing your mobile phone are very high. While it’s alright to take a few shots of vodka but it’s definitely foolish to drink beyond your capacity and being tipsy to an extent where you can’t keep the safety of your belongings. According to a study in the UK, almost 20% of the mobile handset loss takes place when people leave their handsets in pubs. Pet dogs and small kids If you have pets (especially dogs, they have sharp teeth) and you leave your handset on the sofa or a chair, then there is a possibility that your pet chews it is way through your handset. Small kids too are excited by the colorful screens of handsets and leap for handsets as soon as Dad reaches home! So, keep your expensive handset out of reach of tiny tots.
