I have to tell the story of my red lg chocolate 2. Best phone, by the way.
I had it for five years, from 2008 from my junior year of college in 2013. I was going to finally get a new phone over spring break. the chocolate was indestructible. I skated with it, and it never broke. I skied with it all the time. It and its slide mechanism never got screwed up by sand or anything from the beach. I once spilled nearly an entire bottle of water on it. So I took it apart, dried it and put it back together. Worked fine after that.
Shortly before spring break, the outdoor club at school held a ski trip. You know I was on that. The school itself also held a ski trip, both to blue mountain. So I was to meet one of my friends. It was dark, and I called him up to figure out where he was. He said he was at the bottom. I was at the top of the park, the bigger one that usually has the jump line then that wallride. I put my phone away, in the outer chest pocket of my jacket for easy access to call him again, then skied down.
I speed tested the did all the rails right at the top, speed tested the jumps, failed at anything impressive on the wallride then hit that corrugated tube jib thing after the wall. Then I went down and found him. Then I realized my phone was missing and my pocket was never zipped. I was pissed. I had that thing for fives years. It was a running joke because it never ever broke. I couldn't lose it a week before I was to retire it for good. There was no chance I was letting this go. I went to the top again and started looking.
The most logical answer would be that it fell out while speed testing the jumps. I looked around the rails section, confident I'd see it around the jumps. It wasn't there. It wasn't near the wallride. I was getting nervous. I continued to look, and came to the tube jib. It was set up on a big mound on snow next to the woods, a decent height above the ground of the woods. So I looked around the immediate area of the tube, and it wasn't there. Just before I skied away, I saw this light way at the bottom of this mound, where you'd never really go. I was like no way, that's it. So I went down there, and sure enough, it was the phone. It was frozen on the startup screen, which is white with a verizon logo. Easy to see at night. I grabbed it, excitedly skied down to them waving it, then warmed it up and made a phone call.
So I never actually lost it. It took me about two hours to actually find it. But the whole time I expected to find it. I've had it too long for me to just lose it. It worked, and still works today. When I went to the store to get a new phone, it took them like two hours to deactivate it for whatever reason. It wouldn't die, and I got a free case since the made me wait two hours for nothing. If you read all that, go eat a cookie.
tl;dr: idk my bff jill.
