H2-Oh-No No No No No!, Part 2

It is back in the early days of cellular phones: brick phones, Motorola flip phones, etc. A customer comes in complaining.

Customer: “My phone won’t power on!”

We have our technician take a look at it. (Yes, we actually have techs who open up and fix phones). He comes back saying that it has extensive water damage.

Me: “Ma’am, water damage isn’t repairable, and it also voids any warranty.”

Customer: “I never got it wet! Get me a new phone!”

I show her the insides of her phone, which are actually rusty, and she still insists that it never got wet. We start going through possible ways her phone got wet, including excessive sweating, sudden downpours, and accidentally dropping it in water.

Customer: “I swear on my life that phone was never exposed to water! I always took care of it. I even took the time to clean it by putting it in the top rack of my dishwasher, never on the bottom!”
