Admin Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Got up yesterday morning and it had been snowing all night. Thought I would help the missus and went outside to brush all the snow of her car, since my car lives in the garage Anyway, it looks like my cell phone slipped out of my pocket without me noticing. So when I had finished brushing the snow of the car, I figured I had to remove the rest of the snow in the driveway, so I started up the snowblower. I guess you see where the rest of this story goes, so here is what a Samsung Galaxy S3 looks like after a run through the snowblower; I actually think it held up pretty well The funny thing is that when I drove over it and it ended up inside the snowblower and made a hell of a noice, my thought was "Whoa....how did I not see a rock that was big enough to cause that kind of sound in the snowblower." It was when I can back to where the phone had been thrown out that I saw what looked like the phone in the snow. Everything was so covered in snow, that I actually didn't see how bad the damage was, until I picked it up, so my initial thought was "Oh no...now it's probably water inside of it and I have to go inside and get it dry somehow, so that it will work again". Water wasn't exactly the biggest problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Here is sweden there is a insurance thats called "clumsy" insurance it goes under the house insurance and it cost about 7$/monthe. This insurance covers everything like if your children/you drop the tv on the floor, water damages ect ect IT COVERS everything. I have that insurance now, i droped my iphone5 on the floor a few weeks back after that i took this insurance NOT in anyway saying that you are clumsy T but check with your home insurance.

Morris133 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Oh wow, this is exactly what my brother did to his phone. Thinking to himself, huh, what was that? Not until he couldn't find his phone, called it with his wife's phone and heard it ringing in the front yard. Then that sinking feeling when he put two and two together. Winter sucks.

aajaxx007 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 If you could somehow get it up and working you could place a call to your carrier and ad insurance. I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well, at least the phone was not in use when it got gobbled up by the snow-blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Awww...THAT is not the kind of blow. Job to start your day with. Tell your cellular carrier it happened while talking to there customer service.
