Crap! I Washed My Cell Phone In With My Laundry! >:{

DAMMIT!!!  I have the worst luck with cell phones.  First, one accidentally slipped out of my pants pocket and plunked down into the commode full of pee a while back.  And after that happened, I've been limping along with one of Jamie's crappy old cell phones until I can get an upgrade.  Well, my upgrade date is 3/20/14, and what happened this afternoon?  I was distracted and in a hurry, and put my pants with my cell phone in the pocket into the damn washing machine!!!  I realized it after the washer had been going for a few minutes.  Damn!!!

I know the phone is most likely unsalvageable, but I scraped around the kitchen to see if I had any rice.  All I could find was a stupid old box of boil-in-bag Uncle Ben's from 1972 with 3 packages in it.  So I emptied all 3 bags into a big Ziploc bag, took the battery out of my phone, opened it all up, and made sure it was all covered with the stupid rice.

I had to take Lilly to dance class this evening, and when we got back, I tested the phone just to see what would happen, and it made a weird buzzing/hissing sound (and I wondered if I was about to get electrocuted).  The "Verizon" screen came up (of course), but nothing else would.  That makes me so mad.  How can it clearly say "Verizon", but nothing else?  Uhh!!!  >:{

Anyway, I guess I'll leave the stupid phone in the sack o' rice all night long, and try to turn it on again in the morning (even though I bet it won't work).

And I guess I'll be making a stupid trip to the stupid Verizon store sometime tomorrow afternoon to get a stupid new phone for 9 trillion dollars.

But this time around, I think I might consider investing in insurance, since I evidently can't keep my stupid phones out of water sources!  >:{  Uhh!!!  I'm so mad at myself!!!  >:{  DANGIT!!!  >:{
