After Almost 30 Years...

[wayoflife]

As hard as it may be to believe, I've never caused noticeable damage from a drop, never cracked or scratched a screen, never plopped one in a toilet or water of any kind and certainly, never lost a cell phone in almost 30 years. Today, that all changed when I placed my phone on my 42" Nitto Trail Grappler, loaded up Ripley and then promptly ran over it when I completely spaced out and forgot that I left it there.



Can't believe the thing still works... sort of

Tell the truth, you were trying to get that perfect mall crawler flex shot and it hit the curb......

So, truth be told, I recently got a new number and just today, I checked to see if my phone was still insured - it was not. Just my old number. Needless to say, I took care of that and holy hell, thank goodness I did! Who knew

Well, yeah!

Lol, my buddy did this same sorta thing but only with his gas cap instead after filling up...

Left it on the tire as it was an aftermarket lockable one that isn't tethered, and ran it clean over. He kept saying how he smelled gas everytime he walked behind his Jeep. It was a good laugh.

That’s a good run on phone luck. I don’t make it very long at all without causing some kind of damage to mine.

Man that sucks, but you had one hell of a run for not damaging one.

I got my first hand-me-down bag phone in 1996 and managed to make it until last years Moab trip where I did the same thing. I was using it as a timer while I aired up at the end of a long day doing the Triple Threat and left it on the last tire as I coiled up my hose. I was super embarrassed having to ask a buddy to call my phone as I hauled ass back to where we aired up.

Insurance sent me a refurbished phone after paying the deductible... I ran that one over after airing up on my last Moon Rocks trip.

Ha! That sucks! but honestly thought it would be more smashed.

Is that a Ukraine flag on the right side of the screen?

Glad to know I'm not the only one to have done this

Honestly, me too! All the cracks came from me driving over it on our gravel drive. I thought for sure it'd be toast. Well, more so than it is anyway LOL

Too Funny! I'll blame the russians for this break

Bro your getting old. Start putting things in the same place so you don’t lose them.

Yeah, that’s a good one. I went through a phase where I tried to out wit myself and put things in new places that made more sense at the time… only to never find them again.

Should have aired down….

Time for a flip phone.
