Two good cell phone stories:

My dad is not a cell phone person, not in the least. So he got a new one, I think it was like a Treo from work, pissed him off couldn't figure it out. He wanted his old phone back but they said no, they had to use the new ones. So the Treo somehow ended up under a loaded dump truck. Its amazing how well a Mack can fix a cell phone! He gave them the Treo in a zip lock bag, he got his old phone back.

Second;

My uncle has this massive Komatsu excavator, I think its a PC600 big SOB pretty useless. Anyway he can use it talk on the phone, and eat lunch at the same time, talk about multi tasking. Anyway I was going to talk to him at a job site and he just got a new phone which was pissing him off. So as I am walking up I hear ****!!! and he throws the phone down in from the of left track, forward he goes. 100k+ pounds does a number on a phone.

Years ago, I was staying at a Zen center where several of us guys slept in the Zen hall on futons which we'd roll up and stash in the closet during the day. On the Sunday in the fall when daylight savings time switched back, the day you normally get an extra hour of sleep, one of the guys, near moron, thought he'd changed his alarm clock but hadn't. Sleeping in was near impossible there and I wanted that extra hour. Couldn't get back to sleep worth a damn.
