5 Reasons I wish I hadn’t washed my iPhone

Yes, full cycle wash. I pulled out the laundry to transfer it to the dryer, and ‘CLUNK,’ there it was. Here are a few reasons I wish I had known it was jumbled with all of the clothes:

1. The day before my accidental iPhone cleaning, Mark told me about a new Boggle-like game available for free.

2. There was a love note courier service at Art City Austin today (an art installation where you can write notes on a typewriter and have them delivered on a bike). I wanted to send notes to my friends, but addresses just aren’t as readily accessible without my iPhone…

3. The 30 songs on my iPod shuffle just get repetitive after a while.

4. My ability to be a good roadtrip navigator for Mark just dramatically decreased.

5. Re-learning to text on a number pad is just not as easy as you might think. My patience with predictive text’s wrong predictions is pretty low.

There’s still a chance, though. Maybe after a week-long rice bath, my iPhone will decide to awaken to a newer and cleaner life! We will see. You might be surprised to know how many “washed my phone in the laundry” survival stories are out there… Anyone want to predict it’s future?
