Just the other night I thought I had finally lost my phone for good. This huge storm front was just starting to move into Murfreesboro and Heather and I were on our way home. We had just finished eating at Chili’s and decided to run into Kmart to look at some sheets. On the way in I tried to grab my umbrella but Heather thought we wouldn’t be in the store long enough for it to matter.
After five minutes we left the store, only to be greeted by torrential rains. Always trying to be a gentleman, I offered to run and get the car while Heather waited. I took a deep breath and ran across the parking lot, trying to stay as dry as possible.
In mid stride my phone came out of my cell phone holder, flew a several feet into the air, came crashing down on the asphalt, and skidded a good 15 feet in the rain and through puddles before I was able to pick it up. I thought for sure it was ruined.
After letting it dry I turned it on to inspect the damages. I was distraught when the ear piece no longer worked. I had to turn the volume on the phone all the way up, only to hear the person’s voice coming through the screen. I knew then that the combination of water and the trauma of being busted on the pavement was just too much for my little phone.
After that I sat around all night with the hamster in my head running franticly on his wheel trying to figure out where I was going to get the money to buy a new cell phone. Although I was really upset about breaking my phone I had no one to be mad at but myself. As I thought about it, I tried to remain as optimistic as I could. However, I knew my phone was broken and somehow I was going to have to shell out some cash that I didn’t have to get a new one. Also I kind of knew in the back of my head that this was coming. Surely I was going to break my phone sooner or later, especially since this is the 4,689.32 time that I had dropped it.
In the end however, everything worked out. I got a call yesterday and it worked fine. I guess it just needed some RR. So basically the freaking out and the being upset was all for nothing.
Everything in worked out in the end and I truly love my phone that never breaks.
