Don't you just *hate it* when your book falls in the toilet?

:smack: :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack:

Nobody’s fault but mine. Fortunately I was right at the very end of **Antony & Cleopatra **by Colleen McCullough. As a result, it was off balance, I guess - and it pitched forward off the top of the toilet’s water tank into…what I had been standing there for in the first place. As Cher would’ve said in Clueless: Eww.

I picked it up by the still-clean top and dropped it into the recycling bin. Oy.

I hate it when that happens.

It’s never happened to me.
Plenty of toiletrolls have fallen in, but no books.

Does this happen to you often, WordMan? You might want to think about keeping the toilet lid closed. :slight_smile:

Hey, at least it was your book! I’m now a bit suspicious about the wavy-paged library book I have sitting on my nightstand.

Dear Ms. McCullough,

I was urinating the other day, and happened to notice that (enter criticism of some aspect of the book here)

I dropped my Palm in the tub once, but that’s another thread.

Wow, just wow.

Oh no - this thread will do nicely, thankyouverymuch - spill it! (pun intended)

And **An Gadai ** - care to expand on the Wow factor? You’ve never multi-tasked your way to an accident without even realizing you were multi-tasking (or headed for an accident) before?

So I’m reading The Voyage of the Beagle in the tub, fell asleep and dropped the damn thing. Field stripped it, as it were and had to clean a little rust off the circuit board before it would work again. Might have been a new battery involved, too. I’ve slept since then.

a-HA! Another multi-tasking stuck in a bathroom accident! See? Could happen to anyone!

Although I do think bathwater is typically a cut above toilet water, unless you…you know…wait…you didn’t, did you?

:smiley:

No, sometimes I have company, and that sort of thing really annoys Mrs. Plant.

I still have the copy of The Song of Roland that I dropped in the toilet, although I haven’t had occasion to reread it.

Do I hate it when a book fails in the toilet?

Not really. It keeps my love life company.

Maybe you should use toilet tissue instead, like the rest of us?

It’s worse when it’s a library book. Or one you’ve borrowed from a friend.

We have a winner!

Just last week I dropped my radio in the toilet. That’s the second one I’ve lost at work, although it’s been three years since the last time. Fortunately I had an Instant Recognition Award (our company’s version of an Attaboy) tucked in my purse, so I was able to cash it in on a new radio and continue to block out my coworker’s lame jokes again.

Pity, WordMan, you weren’t reading something by Melville.

or the one you have to finish reading and write a a book report. :frowning:

Boss’s new cell phone: $400
Boss talking to company about replacing the new cell phone that she dropped into the toilet: Priceless

What do you mean, you don’t replace cell phones that have been dropped in the toilet. I’ll just take this brand new cell phone and throw it in the street and run over it. Then you will have to replace it.
