Dropped It, Then Rolled Over It
You drop your phone or your keys on the floor. What happens next?
Well, you go and look for a f***ing coat hanger, or you try and get it up higher somewhere. You gotta have something to push it with.
Power chairs are not like manual chairs. It's easier to pick stuff up off the ground in a manual chair, 'cause you're lower to the ground. In a manual chair you lean over, push it against your side wheel, and kinda try and get it between your fingers and lift it up. 'Cause you know, you're a quad. You ain't got the grabby.
So you try and get it between your fingers and squeeze it as tight as you can to lift it up. Most of the time you can, depending on what type of case you have on it.
It's always good to have a lanyard attached to your phone somehow, or one of those little button things on the back that you can pull out and in. Or a little hook. If you got a hook or a lanyard, it's easy. You just grab your coat hanger, swing it down, and pick it right back up.
How often does it happen?
Oh shit, I drop the phone all the time. The worst is when you drop your phone and then you roll over it.
I've done this twice. No, probably three times now, over the years.
One time the screen was fine. Another time the screen was f***ing completely crushed. That was in this chair.
The other chair had big fat tires. Big fat round air tires. With that one, I'd drop my phone, roll right over it, and it'd be fine usually. This one's got the skinnier tires, and this thing completely crushed the phone.
Did you lose anything on it?
Well, no. Just the whole screen. I gotta hook it up to the Mac Mini in order to use it now.
It works. It works fine, actually. But you can only touch half the screen, so you gotta use it on the Mac.
Ever think about getting the screen replaced?
Not really. It's not really worth it. It's an XR.
I've run over a few phones. It's not the best fun.
