The Top 3 Worst Places to Lose Your Cellphone

Criteria:

  • Chance of recovery
  • chance of phone working
  • overall cleanliness of the phone after it is retrieved
  • Want for the lost cellphone

#3 Public Toilet
Ok so what are the odds that you’re going to want to go into a public toilet to get your cell phone that will most likely never work again? As soon at that phone touches that cesspool of urine, feces and bacteria, it is as good as done. There is enough of a risk just entering the washroom to begin with why would you go after your phone and risk injury, disease or death.

  • Recovery rate: 0-10% (only for those with a strong stomach)
  • Chance of phone working: 0-2% (phone may work if waterproof)
  • Cleanliness of phone after: 100% covered with bacteria
  • Want of the cell phone: 0%

#2 Roof of Your Car
You're in a rush you just hung up your phone and put it on the roof of your car and pulled out onto the open road. if you're lucky you will have a rubbery back to your phone which will increase the chances that your phone will not slide off. if the phone does not have a rubber back or the rubber back is facing up hopefully the phone does not break upon impact. The worst case scenario is your phone slides off and gets run over by another automobile.


  • Recovery rate:0-20%(depends if you realized your phone fell of your car)
  • Chance of phone working:0-100%(dependant on impact)
  • Cleanliness of phone after:70-80%
  • Want of the phone after90-100%(you might just pass it off as lost if you didn't like the thing)


#1 Ex Girlfriends/ Boyfriends house
Its over you two broke up and you're the lucky one who gets to storm out the house. Shortly after leaving you realize that your cellular device is not in your pocket and is probably sitting on the kitchen counter of your "Ex's" place. You have to walk back to their place knock on the door and hope that it isn't already smashed. If it isn't then you have to try and get it wich can turn nasty quick.

  • Recovery rate: 0-100% (depends on how the break-up went)
  • Chance of phone working: 0-100% (reliant on the smashing factor)
  • Cleanliness of phone after: 50-100% (depends on how clean your "Ex" is)
  • Want of the cell phone: 0-20%(odds are you wont want to go get it)

Superpower!


If I could possess my choice of superpower it would be to fly at any velocity that I wanted to. Think about all the money that I could save. I wouldn't have any need to own an automobile to get around so I would save money by not having one. Taking a holiday would be cheaper as well, no plane ticket would be needed and airport delays would be non existent. The best part is that it would look super-cool to have a cape flapping around in the wind as I fly myself to school. Not everything about flying is perfect though. Insects would get in my eyes and mouth and it would hurt quite a bit to hit birds. Airports would be a rough place to fly around, dodging planes and hoping that I don't get myself sucked into a jet engine leaving the plane to make a crash landing in the Hudson River of course. Even with the negatives if I could fly through the atmosphere with my arms stretched out in front of me I would be a content man.
