I knew this day was going to come. I suppose by stalking an ex boyfriend on Facebook I was asking for it, but that doesn't make my experience any less mortifying. Let my funny/insanely embarrassing tale be a lesson to you all: stalk carefully!
My ex and I are no longer Facebook friends — I learned my lesson about that one! But due to our high number of mutual friends, his name still comes up easily when I search for it, so every now and then I'll type his name into the search box at the top of the Facebook home screen. Such was the case earlier this week when I typed his name, hit return, and waited for search results. Find out what happened next (spoiler: it's totally embarrassing) after the jump.
Many of my recent trips home have centered on family game night, and while that used to mean board games, lately, and usually at my mom's urging, we end up playing a few Wii sports tournaments. Bowling is a favorite in the house, but since my Grandfather is an avid tennis player, we decided to switch it up and host a Wii tennis tournament when he came to dinner.
One day when I was working at the Apple store, I suddenly had to use the restroom. I asked the floor lead if I could go real quick, of course it was OK. When I got to the restroom, I began to pull my pants down, then I heard a splash. I knew instantly what that was. I dropped my $600 first gen, only a couple months old iPhone into the toilet. Good thing it was before I used the restroom. 
A few weeks ago I hopped on the bus to commute home and sat down next to a really cute guy. I was holding my iPhone and juggling two bags and something about the way he looked at me and said hi made me nervous (he was cute, okay?). As soon as I said hi back, my phone went flying into the center aisle, rolled and stopped under a seat rows away. The entire bus full of people stopped to watch it happen. I had to put down my bags and push past people getting on to retrieve it. Talk about a walk of shame. When I got back to the seat — totally flustered — the guy looked at me and said "umm, was that the first time you dropped it?" "No," I said, "but it was certainly the most dramatic." My poor phone is all scratched up, but at least it was a funny conversation starter.
Sometimes the odds are against you. I take public transportation (BART), and sometimes my good friend takes the BART with me. We usually chat the entire ride into work. My friend had shut off her iPhone and laid it on her lap but left the headphones in like most do. Finally at our exit, we got up from our seats to get off the train, the doors opened and we both proceeded to exit the train. Unfortunately, my friend had forgotten her headphones were in her ears and the iPhone on her lap. Just as we crossed from the train to platform, we heard a big splash. The gap between the train and platform is probably no more than 6 inches and maybe even less. We both looked down this slender gap and there lie her iPhone in a huge puddle of water. The train sped away onto its next stop as my friend and I stood there in sheer amazement. I mean really, what are the odds? I grabbed the station agent, who found someone who could retrieve the phone. But the phone was completely water logged. It is not that funny but lesson learned, mind the gap!
Does your grandma have you on 
My grandmother is 82 and I have her set up with a laptop and wireless Internet so she can "do the email." God forbid her Internet connection goes down — I get panicky phone calls anytime she can't access her email. I have her set up with remote connection so I can fix any problems, real or perceived.
A friend of mine IM'd me the following: 
My family is relatively tech-savvy, but as you know, we definitely have our
