Chicken Soup Problems

While sick at home last Friday, my kindhearted roommates brought me home some chicken soup. I put it in the microwave to reheat and then I brilliantly attempted pouring the boiling hot soup from the plastic container into a regular bowl when the soup started pouring out from the edges and got all over the counter and all over my phone which was conveniently sitting on the counter. I dried off the phone but it started having weird seizures so I panicked and then my phone spent the weekend in a bowl of rice.

I feel like this doesn't happen to regular people.

I've heard of people dropping their phones in the sink or jumping in the pool with their phone in their pocket or even (on special occasion) people forgetting them in the washing machine. But never have I ever heard about a phone getting destroyed by chicken soup.

But getting back to the fact that I've been sick for an entire week in August with a phone that is (thankfully) no longer broken: I was pretty sure that "a cold" was called "a cold" because you get them when it's cold outside. I didn't think it was a thing to get "a cold" when it was 85 degrees outside. You can't even tell people that you're feeling "under the weather" when the weather is 85 degrees! This upsets me.

But I suppose there could be worse situations..I could be sick with a phone that was completely killed by chicken soup. Try explaining that to the Sprint guys.
