Answer: Drop your phone
Clues: “Fumble” and “Device”
It’s become our most prized possession, yet the average American will drop their phone at least 10 times this year. 60% said 10 times or more. And if it breaks, we’re devastated. Just under a third of people say they’ve cried because their phone broke.
38% would rather lose their wallet, 25% said breaking their phone would be more upsetting than crashing their car and 25% also said it would be more upsetting than losing their chilD in a supermarket.
They also asked people if they’d be willing to do five uncomfortable things to rescue their phone from disaster. Here’s what people said.
1. Would you dive into a pool fully clothed at a wedding to save your phone? 59% say they’d do it.
2. Would you climb into a dumpster? 56% said yes.
3. Would you reach down into a port-a-potty at a big music festival? 54% would.
4. Would you miss an international flight? 51% would catch another flight.
5. Would you risk climbing down onto subway tracks? 20% of us are dumb enough to do it if we dropped our phone down there.
