I always drop headphones. Most notably, when I was about to get onto a 2 hour coach drive to get to a 5 hour plane flight, I dropped a pair while getting ready to leave. Man tears were shed. I don't remember what I did for those 7 hours, the pain blocked out the memory.
Oh god, now I'm reminiscing ;_;
There's also my old phone that I dropped and ruined the screen of. Now, I wasn't just going to give up the phone that easily, and continued using it. Apparently all the texts I was sending were coming out as garbage because I had been using it as if it was in the wrong mode. >:| Also, to remain in theme with the website, when I defeated Lance in HG I rushed away to show someone and forgot that the DS was plugged in to charge. The DS had to make a choice: stay with it's master, or remain charging. Needless to say, it was on the ground soon after.
