I used to be really spoiled because I owned a nice phone and it was free. That's all good and well, except that spoiled children aren't prepared for the real world and all it's turmoil.
I got my blackberry because according to my plan, it was upgrade time. Free phones are nice, but it made me think ALL phones were free ALL the time. But they're not! Blackberries are $600 if you have to pay for them!
From whence did I gather this little nug-bit of wisdom? I dropped my blackberry in the toilet.
Before you freak out, allow me to explain that I simply happened to be texting when I entered the bathroom to get something, and the toilet seat happened to be open and my hands happened to be in fumble-mode, and I happened to drop the phone into the toilet and a salty word happened to escape my otherwise un-corrupted lips as I scrambled to retrieve my precious blackberry.
And it happened to not work anymore. So I had to buy a new phone. Apparently, contrary to my previous conception, the phone company does not dole out blackberries with generous abandon as I would like. You have to pay lots of moneys for them. So I ended up with a stupid Samsung Something-or-other that was cheap and likes to turn itself off at inconvenient times. And I also have to keep explaining to people what happened to my blackberry. Every time I see someone with one I feel like I've lost my child and now I'm jealous of other people's.
