Thought some people might need a small chuckle

So I'm driving home today and chatting on bbm I put my phone back in my pocket and instead of hearing my little notifier I feel my phone vibrate. Startled I pull out my phone and my sound is restored. After replying and telling myself I imagined it I stuff the phone back in my coat pocket. Low and behold my phone starts vibrating again, confused I pull it out and notice that it's in sleep mode . . . but not in its holster and then I notice one of the magnetized rocks that I picked up from the toy store on the back of my BB. I left them in my coat pocket and every time I put my BB in they sat just right to put it in sleep mode.

LOL! Excellent story.

Thanks ginya-san

Hmmmm....think if I did the same with Pop rocks it would vibrate more wildly? Or would all the sugar cause it to never enter sleep mode (at least that's what happens with children)?

[ginya-san]

Lol If pop rocks make my phone go crazy I'm going to be scared it goes off enough as it is!

And you thought it was your personal magnetism.

Yep, I do this quiet frequently in fact I'd say about 80% of the time I chat I'm driving. I have spacious roads to drive and I can efficiently multitask

Hey gin-thanks for the chuckle and don't get urself a ticket for that 'multitasking' it costs a lot these days!!

It's not illegal here If it was I'd be S.O.L. now speeding on the other hand . . . that I may yet get a ticket for.

[mrsjackd]

i dont usually text/bbm email or surf the net unless im at a light or stuck in traffic. i guess its easier for you since its not illegal

[thinkamp]

Haha that is great! Seems like something I would do and then later realizethat my coat doesn't magical bb powers.

*Chuckles* Nice. See, they have a billion different uses! I love those little Magnets XD

[chelseytx]

i will have to go find some... the case i LOVE doesn't have a strong enough magnate (or it is is the wrong place) so it doesnt work

[foubre73]

hilarious.

Chelsey, you can get wafer magnets and some fabric glue and a little cloth and add it into your case to correct that. I did it for my wifes' purse, in her cell pouch, so that she could use the sleep function.

I was always taught to keep magnets away from electronic devices. This all seems very strange...

And yes, I do understand it's by design, but it still seems strange.
