She tried to blame me for it as well

because I left it in my hoodie pocket. What a fool I am.


You killed your Ipod.

you bastard.


She's still blaming me

"Mum, I just want us to be clear on something - this is your fault."
"Well, it's both of our fault really."
"No, it's just your fault."


I'd say it is your fault.

But then I always side with mums because they ARE ALWAYS RIGHT.


RIP

Dont turn it on

or attempt to turn it on

put it in the airing cupboard for a month

all will be fine


put it in a bag of rice

in a warm place (boiling cupboard) for a few weeks


Bag of rice?


Its a poor man's dessicant

Unless you have a Big bag of granular silicon around.


I'm actually kind of sad

It's so stupid. She said she'd buy me a new one, but me and this iPod... we've been through a lot together. I really like the design as well :(


I reckon it will recover

Just let it dry out.

My friend James once dropped a brand new BlackBerry down the loo and pissed on it (serves him well for being a flash bastard) and that still worked.

At least your iPod will smell nicer than his poncey mobile did.


Pretty good actually

i spilled tea all over my laptop, let it dry and it worked fine the next day.


I had this (except it was milk)

It was fine for about 2 weeks, and then it died.
The repair man said it was definitely the milk that broke it.


i actually gasped aloud at the title of this thread

you poor thing

ps: do your own laundry next time. how old are you? MAN UP.

pps: actually, i would still have my mom do my laundry if she was willing.


If I did my own washing though

she'd feel redundant and worthless. What kind of son would that make me? A bad son, that's what.


'redundant and worthless' :D

you'd better hope your mum never reads DiS.


who has a mum who reads DiS?

Do your homework! Tidy your room! Any you can't have the computer until I've finished LOLing at Radiohead fans!


prognosis is good

i dropped my Dads creative zen into a cup of tea once and he still doesnt know.


nah my Dad likes really good music

i wish he didn't though because it would be quite endearing and i wouldn't feel slightly embarassed about the music i listen to.


My mum

stopped picking up after me when i was 12 years old. Maybe do your own washing? There's a good boy.


don't fret

my flatmate has done that twice and it still works .....


It's okay, everyone

She just bought me a new one (y)


oh thank god!

....


It is

A silver one. At first I wished I'd got a black one but now I'm glad with silver.


fantastic

alls well that ends well eh?


Indeed!

And really, I needed a new one anyway. I was just clinging on for the sake of sentimentality. So thanks mum!


i like

how you all made the same joke


DONT try to turn it on

AT ALLL

Put it in the airing cupboard and return to it in 1months time

What's that I'm feeling now?

Oh yes, that's right. The bitter sting of regret.

i am so cool

it is unbelievable


wow

first reheated chicken and now this? man, your parents really do hate you.


I told my mum about the chicken thing

and she said "It's okay to reheat it once". Bitch.


I feel sorry for you

mummy still washes your clothes


Cunt-punch her

Sidewinder kick to the ovaries.


SOME SUPER-SERIOUS ADVICE

put you ipod in a jar of rice for a couple of days. the rice will absorb all the moisture and it should be okay. i know people who have cured mobiles that have been in the toilet and laptop spillages and all sorts like this.

That said, it is an ipod and they sometimes stop working even when they haven't been through the wash.

but yeah, rice will make it better.
