Worst thing you have done to your phone?

Found this thread on another board & I thought that it'd be pretty amusing to post (you gotta laugh at yourself some!).

Basically: post the absolute worst thing that you have done to your digital sidekick, regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional!

A few weeks back, I was in a hurry to leave home because I had completely lost track of time like a chump and needed to get the hell out of there ASAP.

Because I was basically racing myself to the door, I didn't really remember that the front pocket of my jeans was shredded and couldn't even hold a coin... which is why my phone ended up free-falling down the length of my leg and went sliding across the floor with a sickening thud.

To make matters infinitely worse, the screen timeout chose that particular moment to trigger, making me believe that my incredibly expensive piece of cheap plastic had bit the dust and I'd have to burn my hard-earned money trying to replace it for something equally as fragile.

Miraculously (yes, that's the word I'm using), it didn't even get chipped or scratched — but damn, the experience was mightily unpleasant.

You?

The granny asshole that i have as a teacher made me change the place in which i was sitting down and also started to dictate.
I had my backpack open, so when i was trying to pull my folder and my pencil case out of my backpack at the speed of light i accidently pulled out my phone too.
The damn thing made 2 complete 360 spins before fall and the screen broke a little (but still entirely functional fortunately).
Anyways that old lady can go to fuck herself, i have been putting up her since last year and only in december i will be free from her.

I drop them a lot. One time I dropped one off the second floor of an under construction house onto concrete and somehow it survived with barely a scratch. I dropped one off the top of a hot water tank though and completely smashed the screen. I've smashed the screens bad enough to completely fuck up like 3 or 4 phones. I now understand the importance of screen protectors.

Throwing it at the wall in a fit of rage after it cut itself off during a phone call (It was on 50 btw)

I had a brand new Galaxy S3 Slim, without a case or screen protector.

I slept with it in bed the night before, but I moved my arm abruptly when I woke up and phone flew to the floor... 40 dollars lost in seconds to fix the screen.

I had a cheap budget Alcatel phone that used a T-Mobile plan like a decade or so ago. I tried to root it and it seemed successful but then I learned it had a root prevention thing on it that caused it to be permanently stuck in a boot loop. I still have it in my closet, but it's completely worthless. The battery is probably trashed by now too since it's been so long since I last turned it on.

Dropped it screen down directly onto a rock.
Like fate moved it into place.
