Victim:
Mr. Parsley of Saitama Prefecture

Scene of Accident:
A certain toilet

Broken Item:
Sharp Zaurus SL-C860

Details of Accident:
While sitting o­n the john, I had been using my SL-C860 a little bit, then made the mistake of putting it in my fleece pocket. After I was done doing my business, as I went to stand up, the SL-C860 came flying out of my pocket, and when tumbling to the ground. It didn't look like anything with just a glimpse, but when I opened it up, the LCD was damaged.

Damage Amount:
28,745 yen for repairs

More from the Contributor:
I used it for a little bit because everything worked perfectly besides the screen, but unable to endure it any longer, I got it repaired. My biggest regret is not doing the fastener o­n my fleece pocket. ...Or you may even say I shouldn't have been using it while o­n the toilet...hmm.
