Cellphones And Tight Jeans - Not A Friendly Combination
"Siemens AB in Sweden asked themselves: "What are the most common cellphone accidents"? 300 swedish retailers participated in the survey by listing the most common reasons for end-user accidents. To squeeze the handset in tight jeans, using the cellphone in heavy rain or throwing it on the ground in rage were some of the most common "stories/excuses for accidents". "We notice that people use their cellphones directly after coming out from the shower or a gym session, even out in the rain", says Magnus Svensson, After Sales Manager at The Phonehouse Sweden in a pressrelease."
Wow. This is an eye-opener. I didn't realize people neglected their gadgets this much.  Come on people, it's tight jeans. They're tight, so of course the phone has a greater risk of breaking. This ranks right up there with people who leave things on the roof of their car. Oh, wait... Yes, that is the number 8 excuse on this top ten list. :roll: Check out the link article for the complete list of excuses.

So if you have your cell phone in your tight pants and go out into heavy rain get angry and sit down on it in a rage, that would be a real bad thing right?
