it might have been a sign from Allah because i was planning on starting to call up lots of girls tonight. Maybe the angel over my left shoulder took it and threw it in the toilet
This is why I always put my phone (and keys) in the inside pocket of scrub shirts. My wallet (yes, I carry a men's wallet in the hospital ) goes in the inside pocket of the scrub pants. I may have funny lumps in awkward places, but I have yet to lose my phone or my money.

Edit: That's only if I know I'll have to take my coat off. Otherwise, all that stuff goes in the inside pockets of my coat. It's warmer that way too.

Eventually, someone would have to put their hands in and fish it out. The best thing to do in that situation is explain it to someone who works there and ask them to give you a plastic bag or washing up glove, then you don't have to leave your dirty work to someone else

I dropped my phone into a pint glass of water once, dismantled it, dried it up and it worked the next day

You mean you touched your cell phone after it was dropped in the toilet? Y-U-C-K.

Salaams.
Get a phone strap-even if the phone starts falling, you might be able to pick it up.
I got a piece of soft sushi at the end of the strap so inshaAllah I won't lose/drop it as easily.

When you start dropping thing in the loo is when one should develope the habbit of flusing BEFORE they stand up. That way anything that falls in the loo falls into "clean" water.

But then you can't examine what you've done.

Well doesn't one hope to have swallowed a diamond when they were an infant and then suddenly find that they've finally blew it out through their nose all these years later?
