Toilet-disposed mobiles menace Helsinki's sewers
Quote:More and more mobile phones are turning up in the sewage system of the Helsinki Metropolitan area...

Helsink Water didn't supply exact numbers, but dropping mobiles down the loo is pretty common elsewhere too. In the UK alone, as estimated 600,000 mobiles are flushed every year...

I'd like to see a gender breakdown of the flushed phones.

Dropping mobiles down the loo is pretty common?  Why?  I'd have never thought that. Weird.

Quote:Singaporeans have become so addicted to their cellphones 60 per cent of those queried even use them while sitting on the toilet, a survey revealed on Sunday.

Six out of 10 told the newspaper they continue talking even when nature calls although the person on the other end can hear the flushing and other awkward noises.

"What's the big deal?" It's not as if the other party can smell your stink," businesswoman Wileen Chang, 35, was quoted as saying.
