It was not until the following day that one of the team spotted the bright pink object - borrowed by the worker after he misplaced his own phone - frozen in the middle of the rink.

My man needs a lanyard for his phone..

Lost his phone. Borrowed someone else's phone. Lost that one too. I was going to slag him off, but remembered I have ADHD and am almost always doing this sort of shit. I was even going to say "with less freezing", but then I remembered about the time I found my glasses in the freezer. So fair do's.

I lost my glasses for 3 weeks, and was freaking out because I needed to drive somewhere urgently.

Yeah, they were in the car. Along with the emergency pair I always forget about :|

The worker said:

“My daughter wasn’t happy [...] but after a short time – and the promise of a temporary replacement - she cooled off."

Couldn't resist could he XD

I can hear his daughter rolling her eyes from here.

‘No, no! I said you should try covering it in RICE!’

I wonder if it'll work after they finally get it out in two months

They'll have to hard reset it first, the screen's frozen...

Well that's a funny way to detox from social media.

Remember to back up your phone.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This was the backup phone...

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. However, I meant the data of the phone copied to a computer.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Hahaha! I totally misread that! Yes, if you don't have it stored in three places, you don't have it.

The only requirement for the replacement phone is that the ringtone is set to "Ice Ice Baby".
