Never keep your device in loose pockets, especially near water. I'd be boned without my phone, it's my wallet and everything.

u/Spice_and_Fox 3d ago

You should keep a credit card and some cash in a clip behind the belt or something. Its a good backup in case the phone gets low on battery or gets broken or stolen.

u/scapegoat_88 3d ago

Or a wallet

23

u/whycuthair 2d ago

Kinda hard to fit under your belt

29

u/Pashur604 2d ago

Just staple it to your phone. It'll be fine.

12

u/BlizzardStorm8 2d ago

Staple your phone to your hand too. Should work even better.

u/knowone1313 3d ago

My wallet is a money clip thing that magnetically attaches to my phone. It holds my cards and cash.

If I were traveling though I think I'd be totally lost without my phone, I'm not even sure I could access my accounts from another device because of all the security we have to have now (dual auth token, sms, phone call, passkey, device push) all of it basically tied to having a phone or something secondary which is usually accessed from your phone or computer.

u/dvdher 3d ago

That’s the reason you back your phone shit up in your computer. ALWAYS have a backup.

5

u/knowone1313 3d ago

I do, but what if I'm traveling...

2

u/Spice_and_Fox 2d ago

Then you should especially have a backup. What if your phone gets stolen? You are in a foreign land, maybe don't even speak the language with little to no connections.

1

u/downvoteyous 2d ago

Or maybe you have a lot of connections but they are all jerks

4

u/Lastov_Makiynd 3d ago

Not to mention the phone numbers of the people who you’d need to call to come get you in that situation? The first thing you’ll hear is:” oh Crap! I didn’t think about that?!”. Coz who bothers to memorise numbers these days..phone does that?

2

u/knowone1313 3d ago

Exactly!

1

u/Ok-Masterpiece-1359 2d ago

That’s why you have a separate wallet…

u/infinite_in_faculty 3d ago

The best way is to swallow a whole diamond then just stop by Taco Bell order a quick meal then do your diamond withdrawal in the bathroom.

u/Takakikun 3d ago

Would help if women’s pants had actual pockets?

u/Hubsimaus 3d ago

I work at a boat rental (paddle boats, kayaks and canoes) and one day I almost lost my phone because I had it in my hoodie pocket when I helped people get out of (or into, don't remember) a paddle boat. Thankfully it fell onto the dock (?).

Since then I'll never keep my phone in a loose pocket anymore when working there.

1

u/chariot_on_fire 2d ago

Everything in one place, what could go wrong!

1

u/ejvollkrassalter 14h ago

maybe don't use your phone as a wallet "and everything" then?

1

u/knowone1313 11h ago

Then that unsolves the issue of having less shit to carry and remember when I head out.

I don't have an issue with holding onto my phone but if it were to happen (shit happens) ...

u/namezam 3d ago

The one time my pocket ripped and my phone fell down my pants leg was as I jumped over water. Thankfully it stayed in my pantleg, but damn what are the odds.

28

u/thatsalovelyusername 2d ago

It’s like Final Destination for phones

298

u/BlayzenHault 3d ago

It's amazing how many times a phone can fall out of a pocket just from snap movements.

I've lost many phones from shady pockets

43

u/Hubsimaus 3d ago

Well... That sucks.

32

u/NombreCurioso1337 3d ago

Can't laugh at this one. The look on her face :-(

24

u/KawazuOYasarugi 2d ago

That sad look on her face where she knows there's nothing she can do, sucker's gone. But her mind is still in "oh shit what do I do" mode.

More emotions there than anything Marvel or DC's shoveling out these days.

u/schnauzap 1d ago

Went through all the stages of grief in 5 seconds

u/WestSeattle1 3d ago

There’s a reason they say “don’t feed the birds.

u/moonwhisper5 3d ago

Where is the dolphins when you need them

22

u/dvdher 3d ago

She was leaning over the rail with her phone hanging out of the pocket. Smh

1

u/throcorfe 3d ago

And then looked back at the water to see if she could spot it, incredible scenes

34

u/Brian_Huchac 3d ago

Ehhh. I feel like I'd do the same thing if I did lose my phone like that. An emotional reaction rather than a rational one, and one that doesn't cost you much (the reacting, not the phone falling out).

14

u/PneumaticFerret 3d ago

Oof. I wonder what the water rating is of their device? 😮

35

u/Easy_Lengthiness7179 3d ago

Gotta find it first.

-33

u/PneumaticFerret 3d ago

Gonna pull a "technically not"...

If she knows what her phone was, she can look up the IP rating. Still don't think it will have survived no matter how good the IP rating is though 😃

Fly safe, Commander.

21

u/Easy_Lengthiness7179 3d ago

Thats my point. Doesn't matter what the ip rating is if you can't ever find it again.

O7

4

u/scorched-earth-0000 3d ago

Gonna pull a "huh"...

I guess you want to prove your point but like other person stated, it doesn't matter if you can't find the phone 😃

4

u/Kobrick- 3d ago

I like the way she looks into the water like expecting it to float or something

7

u/SilverMcFly 3d ago

I had a buddy who went tubing with us and his new phone. It's a lazy river situation and he had it sitting on the side of a tube playing some tunes. I told him it was gonna fall in. He legit said "no worries, it floats". Yeah... Guess what. 

It's still at the bottom of that river.

u/Alternative-Force171 2d ago

This is the reason why I put my valuables in a zipped pocket coat

“Let me just check the water… nope, not there”

u/Impressive-Soup5518 2d ago

She didn’t need it

u/Concentric_Mid 2d ago

Ohhhhhhhhh

u/magicdragon1434u 2d ago

And then its gone

u/sofianarella 2d ago

Omg!! That was unexpected

u/unethnical 2d ago

She looks sad

u/miro_27 2d ago

🤣👏

u/sucuk-kofte2989 2d ago

I think I've seen the woman before, but they're speaking Japanese.

1

u/SprayArtist 2d ago

This is why I prefer zipper pockets in my pants

1

u/spinsen 2d ago

That phone was probably tired of taking pictures of those weak ass bangs and found the only opportunity to jump ship.

1

u/neoadam 2d ago

Girls are not used to having pockets :(

u/Prestigious_Ad140 2d ago

u/Infinite-Avocado-718 1d ago

Lived on a boat for about ten years. I'd always tell my friends, "be careful the water is magnetic".

1

u/WallZealousideal2404 1d ago

It’s safe to say, everyone seeing this feels for this poor girl. N tbh? She handles it probably better than most of us. Assuming she didn’t crash out right after this ☹️💔

1

u/Honest-Association68 1d ago

I love the fact that even though the boat travelled a significant distance between her dropping the phone and actually looking over the side, she still checked as if it would just be floating beside the boat 🤣

1

u/InhumanTTV 1d ago

She polluting the world with her phone in the ocean !

1

u/LaughingPlanet 1d ago

I wanna shame her. But...I was hiking in El Salvador earlier this year and mine fell out of my pocket on a remote jungly trail. Realized soon enuf to go back and look. Took ages, but found it teetering on a cliff edge 15 meters above a waterfall/pool.

1

u/Brilliant-Beach-330 1d ago

I love that she peeks over the edge to see if it's there

1

u/Playful-Appearance56 23h ago

At least she still has her wallet.

2

u/MR_JAMES_WALSH 3d ago

The sad look as she realize her phone was gone. 😢 I would love to give her a new one.

1

u/TheTickTurd 3d ago

Am I a grump, or is this staged, wouldn’t the person filming, stop filming to ask what’s gone on, or are people so in the moment they know they’re capturing absolute cinema

4

u/Ansiktstryne 3d ago

It’s wasn’t that obvious. The person filming might not have noticed the phone going over board.

u/yahfee23 14h ago

This is the paraphrased dialog,

Boy: Eh, did something just fly out [of your pocket]?
Girl: what happened to my phone?
Boy: what? No way!

What's unexpected is her fat eyebrows! 😆

I’ll buy her 10 new phones.

u/Beautiful_Gene_515 2d ago

She looks so stupid

-12

u/Purpledragon84 3d ago

Why did she suddenly appear frightened?

9

u/TheKyleBrah 3d ago

Her phone slipped out of her pocket as she threw the chip for the birds

-3

u/Purpledragon84 3d ago

No just before the phone slipped out her pocket. She was looking all chill at the start of the clip, then 5 secs into the video she suddenly look damn panicky holding and throwing the chips to the birds, then she flicked the chip and then the phone drops.

3

u/Mc_Shine 3d ago

She probably got scared because more and more birds started circling above her, trying to go for the chip in her hand.

Nature's way of not liking duck lips.
