Lesson learned: don't leave your phone in your pants pocket while changing.

Easier than that, actually: don't step o­n your pants while changing.

Victim:
JHiloshi of Tokyo

Scene of Accident:
Locker room at work

Broken Item:
au A5502K

Details of Accident:
So I was in the process of changing into my work clothes, when I accidentally stepped o­n my mobile phone that was in the pockets of the pants I had taken off. "Crunch," I heard, o­ne of the worst sounds ever; I stopped my leg, but it was already too late. When I took it out, it looked like what you see above.

Damage Amount:
I haven't heard back yet, so I don't know if it'll be a free repair or not, but I'm going to have au's insurance applied. So, at the most, it will be 5,250 yen. Good thing I chose au.

More from the Contributor:
Well....you'd better quickly straigten up what you take off....
I used my mobile phone instead of having a watch, so the broken LCD really sinks in when I go to look at the time (lol). As sort of a follow-up, I have since received an A1402S, and I was surprised at the smallness, likely because I had gotten used to the A5502K. I thought it might be nice to get a mobile phone as "standard" as this next time, too.
