As you may have guessed, the arch nemesis of a retail rep in South Florida when it comes to a busted ass phone is liquid - and being such rain-prone area the rain itself can VERY often be an additional culprit beyond the usual spilling of drinks, falling in pools, dropping in the ocean/lake, washing machine, etc. Rain being so common, countless people fry their phones every day because they are too dense to put it away while they walk from their car to their office or what have you... but apparently the shock only applies to when it ruins their phones... they know it's dangerous to literally every other electronic device.
They must be retarded... er I mean related
Me: Our technicians took a look at your phone and when they opened it up they found some green corrosion on the circuits and some dried white liquid.
CS: So what does that mean?
Me: Well that indicates that at some point the phone has come into contact with some sort of a liquid which has ruined the phone, you do have insurance so you can call them to get your replacement *hands business card with insurance contact information*
CS: I don't understand, the only thing that has ever gotten on it is rain.
Me: ... Rain is a liquid.
CS: I know that, but how can rain cause liquid damage.
Me:
CS: I mean, simple rain can damage a phone?
Me: Absolutely... any kind of liquid whether its rain, oil, Pepsi, sweat off a glass on a table that leaks up onto it... any of that will ruin a phone.
CS: How can you sell phones that are that fragile?
Me: Any electronic device can be ruined by even a small amount of liquid.
CS: I know but this is a phone.
Me: I don't know where you're going with this... a phone is electronic. Would you walk through the pouring rain using your laptop?
CS: This is different though it's a phone.
Me: But its not... electronics are electronics.
CS: I just don't understand how simple rain could damage a phone.
Me: Okay well I've done everything but try chemistry lessons to explain it... I'm sorry you'll need to call insurance.
CS: I don't believe it... now I have to spend $50 for a replacement.
Me: Be more careful with the next one, have a nice day!
