Well…..it finally happened….
Remember the thread a few weeks ago about cell phones, and what to do when our air headed, irresponsible teenagers put them through the laundry or drop them in the toilet?
Brand new Samsung Juke, exactly 33 days old goes through the washing machine. A top loading washing machine might give it a fighting chance. Never mind the actual water damage - our front loading washing machine put the thing in pieces.
