"Do you wanna know how I got these scars? My owner was a dumbass."
- pickled.uniqkorn aka my phone.
My phone was overheating so I decided to be an idiot and rinse my phone to cool it down instead of being a normal person and just switching it off or whatever.
Then, while reading Wattpad, my phone went all negative on me and I freaked the fuck out.
I panicked and tried turning it on and off again like some kind of basic bitch.
Then when that shit failed I called in the experts.
Google.
Some said to use rice, some said to use a blow dryer to heat up my phone, some said to use a vacuum to suck out the water.
My mom called me an idiot and said I should just take out the things in my phone and blow dry it.
I told her my phone could not be disassembled without breaking it so she told me to just blow dry it.
Okay, I thought to myself, I'll blow dry it.
My Kuya came out of the room and said that was the worst thing I could have done because hot electrical shit leads to bigger shit.
He said, "Just put it in rice."
So I did.
When my mom came home she told me to re blow dry my phone and I couldn't argue with an annoyed filipina mom so I blow dried my phone again.
Two days later, aka today, my phone is functioning.
It has some negative screen residue, but that's okay.
It's a battle scar.
My phone won.
Water lost this round.

Moral of the story
✔ To fix a broken phone, you need rice and a little blowing.
✔ Emphasis on blowing the wet thing.
