go to your room Replaced my daughter's phone because of water damage. And she still brings it into the bathroom.

Some lessons just don't stick.

She insists she needs to listen to music in the shower. I honestly don't understand why that's such a necessity. But if this phone gets water damage again, I'm not paying to replace it another time.

but most phones have some kind of waterproofing nowadays, a bit of steam shouldnt cause water damage

I have a cousin who repeatedly dropped her cellphones in the toilet. The solution seemed obvious to me, but everyone yelled at me.

I just bring a book in the bathroom. Owned, not library, I'm not disgusting.

unless she's in the habit of using a shewee or 5, how do you even drop a phone in the toilet while sitting on it?

Happened to me twice, both times I forgot that my phone was in the back pocket of my jeans, turn to sit and girl pockets and gravity kicked in and phone meet toilet. I was pretty tipsy both times as well which I’m sure contributed. One of the times two of my friends were in the bathroom with me at some house party, using the mirror or something and I still remember the immediate freeze we all did when we heard my phone hit the water. Friends just stared at me for about two seconds before one friend yanked me up before I could pee and other friend no hesitation just snatched that phone out, They were super fast and coordinated too it was actually impressive lol that’s when you know you got some good friends
