how do so many people drop their phones in the toilet?

Question

i never understood this. i see so many facebook statuses saying "i dropped my iphone in the toilet :/" and stuff like that and it makes me wonder how it happens. first of all, why is your phone being taken into the bathroom with you to begin with, can't you live without it for the 30 seconds or less that it takes to go go to the bathroom? and second, how does it get in the toilet anyway. if you're sitting there's hardly an opening for it to fall in and if you're a guy you'd kinda have to set it down cause it's really hard to take a leak if you only use one hand. the only time i can see it having any chance of going in is if you pick it up again before flushing, and why would you do that? it takes like a second to flush the toilet, so if you can't wait that much longer til you get back on your phone you should see a therapist or something, lol.

some girls have tight jeans and they have their phone in the back pocket and forget, the next thing you know they pull their pants down, squat and plop their phone falls out of their back pocket and into the toilet.

He that pisseth against the wall should be more careful. Some people drop their phones in toilet because they often use one hand to hold their wee wee and the other to hold the phone. If they slip then a wet up phone moment occurs. Studies show that most phones dropped in toilets occur in public restrooms, not home bathrooms.

I think they mean in a public toilet.  I hope thye're not texting in there, but even if they don't, who empties their pockets and gives the contents to a stranger for safe keeping?

ps  I've never droped my phone in the toilet, but once the keys fell out of my jacket pocket and into a toilet...
