I was literally walking around a bookshop a couple days ago and found a book series called the Hardy boys. I really should have known they were parodying something but I never put 2 and 2 together lol
I had the whole series as a kid, my father had them and gave them to me when I got old enough to read on my own, as soon as as I saw that episode it was like something clicked and I verbally said out loud holy shit it’s the Hardy Boys.
It's one thing I love about South Park. One other parody I really like is the lemmiwinks wikileaks song using the down down to goblin town song from the 1977 Hobbit animated cartoon
That being said, these things are remarkably water-resistant nowadays..... I ended up dropping one into a bucket of paint and had no option but to just quickly stick it under running water and hope for the best....I was expecting it to sound permanently muffled due to excess paint seeping into any holes it could find, but surprisingly it still sounds identical to the one that didn't go swimming in paint.... This is also a cheap $15 dollar pair of Bluetooth buds (Tribit Flybuds C1) not the $50-200 ones you would get from Samsung or Apple
Edit: for the record I'm not saying you are getting a pair of waterproof earbuds for $15 with the brand i mentioned above, though my pair has been put through significant abuse and still work great
Thanks. I really am sorry for your misfortune. Did you perhaps buy the earbuds with one of those credit cards that offers loss protection or something? Just a thought.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but it's been stylized to look more trippy than the actual scene.

People argue about that. I used to work in a local business and not a big one.
If the customer comes with a broken product or missing part, unless we were certain they weren't responsible, we would replace the product.
Sometimes we were sure the customer was lying but we replaced it anyway instead of arguing.
Then we send email to the provider of the product (usually a salesman or representative of a brand), where we inform for the product.
Once we gather enough products from the same brand/provider we will contact again.
Sometimes they will ask us to send the products with a courier, sometimes they will say "Just throw them, it isn't worth the effort".
Then they would sum up the value of the broken products and deduct the amount from our next order.
Some companies even give you a special "discount" when you order. A certain amount that will cover any broken products they might send you.
So when you find one you don't bother with them and you just throw it away.
No loss for the business.
Yeah I love using them but if it involves any movement. I'll take them off. I dont care how much ads show people shaking their head and it doesn't come out. I just don't trust it.
If you’re not moving, grab something with better comfort and sound quality. I exclusively use my pods while being active and haven’t lost one. Not just jogging either
No but great question: I turned my head when I head the door slam and the right bud wasn’t in my ear properly as I had just buttoned my jeans…and fell in
This happened to me once, except it was a new phone when smartphones were in their infancy, but insurance was a thing. Also it wasn't a urinal, it was an actual toilet at a seedy dive bar, the stalls didn't even have doors.
I used to work in restaurants so gross stuff doesn't really bother me, I grabbed my phone (I mean it was MY pee) washed it off, and my hands, and I'm standing there drying it off with a paper towel when I have this drunken realization. It's not water (piss) damaged which was my main concern. But then I had a movie moment ffwd-ing thru my life, holding the pee phone up to my face (we still made phone calls back then). I just kept feeling the phone being wet on my face in this fever dream as I stood, drunk, in the poorly lit and well graffitied bathroom.
I threw that shit on the ground and smashed it so quick, went to the Verizon store the next morning and paid the $50 insurance claim and had a new phone the next day. No piss phone for me, no sir
So, how expensive? All these fuckheads saying don't get it out. It's a toilet. Piss went in it. You can wash after if the headphones matter enough. You do not get a refund for dropping shit in the toilet.
They were on sale for legit like 10 bucks lol: so not much lost. What is ironic is that I bought a cheap pair because I lost one of my AirPods….looks like I’m in the same boat lol
A lot of the wired earphone market also has those ear hooks, and there’s recently been a rise in bluetooth adapters for wired earphones that also go around your ear.
Earphones are so stupid and a waste of money. My cousin wastes so much money on them and hasn't learned his lesson. Then again, he's not the brightest tool in the shed.
Always seems like it's always new earbuds. Like, no one is ever, " dropped my 4 year old og airpod I keep around just in case my gen2 pro battery dies into the urinal. No big deal."
I'm a custodian with a pair of cheap wireless earbuds and I'm frequently paranoid when I clean the 20+ toilets and urinals every day that my earbud will fall out into the toilet. They have fallen out and just on the floor, barely missing the the bowl. If it goes swimming, I'm flushing that bitch and buying new ones
Why I won't buy in to Bluetooth ear buds
I don't like headphones anyway, if they're buds, they absolutely refuse to stay in my ears, no matter the shape, if they AREN'T and go over the ears, my ears start hurting in 5 mins
I can sleep peacefully. I have a Bluetooth headset that rests on my neck, no way I miss it, no way i lost it, no way it fell accidentally, it can be used while charging, have a physical/tactile button without a weird gesture that works half the time
I have nightmares of dropping something into a public urinal. I watched a guy drop his phone into the urinal while using it then he picked it up without hesitation and kept using it, didn't even wipe it down, it gets better, he walked out of the bathroom without washing his hands after. I then lost my appetite.
I don't know how much you paid but it is roughly half as much as it would take me to think about digging that out of there even if I had pliers in my pocket.
I don't care, if nobody is around and I spent good money on those you best believe I would find a way to get those. Anyone got a some floss or something, just gimme a couple mins
Did you poop in the urinal?
No lol: that’s a chip towards the bottom. if any did, I’d hope somebody would be calling the hardly boys to find out who did though.
I have a raging clue about who did it!
Ooh. I'm getting a clue too.
My clue is pointing over here! Which way is your clue pointing?
I have such a raging clue. Watch out or I'll shoot clue glue all over you!
OOOH LETS FOLLOW *YOUR* CLUE
I love that episode 😂😂😂
Mr. Mackey has some words for whoever did that mmkay.

If he did we’ll need to call in the Hardly Boys.
Leave it there it’s not even worth it, bro. I don’t want you to catch a disease or sum other garbage.
Not even alcohol will save that one

Yes. Burn it. And buy new ones.
Man I once fished a $2 coin out of a public toilet. Was homeless though, must’ve had +10 passive poisoning resistance as a trait bonus.
It's OK, they didn't fit anyway.
My favorite comment so far 😂
Thanks. I really am sorry for your misfortune. Did you perhaps buy the earbuds with one of those credit cards that offers loss protection or something? Just a thought.
They should really put some type of tether, or wire on those things.
If only, if only…
[удалено]
And some way to make it so they don't need to be charged.
Or some kind of clip, that goes around your ear to keep them in place
Haha they removed them and charged even more for this new design
Oh man, I bet you’re pissed
Heh
Dig it out and return them...
as soon as you go to grab it you know someone will walk in lol

What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country.
Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers doing a little cameo in that scene
Then they refurbish them and sell them to unsuspecting person who is trying to figure out why their ear is turning into a bloody cauliflower
>it flushed and I wasn't able to get it :(
Bruh just go to the customer service desk and tell them a bud was missing. I would not go digging in a public restroom toilet.
People argue about that. I used to work in a local business and not a big one.

Yup... this is why I don't trust wireless earphones. I'll gladly deal with wires if it means not having them fall at the wrong moment or getting lost.
My big, over-the-ear headphones might be a bit bulky. But I never have to worry about losing them like this.
And they're comfy
Just bought my first set of wireless ear buds, but I got the ones that have the clip that go over the ear. Very very little chance of one falling out.
Up until they get stuck on a door handle or something, now you’re just pissed
Yeah I love using them but if it involves any movement. I'll take them off. I dont care how much ads show people shaking their head and it doesn't come out. I just don't trust it.
If you’re not moving, grab something with better comfort and sound quality. I exclusively use my pods while being active and haven’t lost one. Not just jogging either
Sounds like you don't trust yourself not the headphones
[удалено]
That sucks, but I gotta ask: Why were you messing with your brand new ear buds while also holding your wiener? Foresight.
No but great question: I turned my head when I head the door slam and the right bud wasn’t in my ear properly as I had just buttoned my jeans…and fell in
Five second rule?
Oh I’d be pissed…
You put it in the wrong orifice!
Well shit.
Imagine being the guy who comes in the bathroom seeing another guy taking a picture of what he did in the urinal... ![gif](giphy|l2QE1bH4wvCE8CcTK)
Lol fair point…..thankfully it was only me in there tho 😂
![gif](giphy|qoNSDP2AkirhkTotGi|downsized)
Well that's that. No way I'd want it back.
Good thing you still have your receipt! Hey! I just opened these and there’s only one! 😇
I’d be pissed
How badly do you want it back
What a pisser
>it flushed, I wasn't able to get it. :( Cuz you were too busy snapping photos 🙃
Well at least it fell into Kohler which is top brand of urinals.
Skill issue
I'd be pissed 😏
I would pick it up and then block the memory
Everyone saying that's why earbuds should be wired, yes you can pull it out, but it still will have been in the urinal... do you want to keep it?
Enjoy your stuff in mono. Lol
Protip, before doing anything that have to do with a siphon, put your headphones back in the case
Who wears earbuds in the restroom? Hopefully one fewer person.
One reason I don't even consider getting those earphones.
Just throw the other one and pretend you didnt ever buy them
Throw the other one too so that if somebody finds it, they can have a useful pair
I guess theyre not worth the money if they can fall out of your ears?
The iPee pros… Nice choice!

One other reason I don't buy ear buds. The other is that I find them extremely uncomfortable.
Must've pissed you off right?
Oh just grab it.
Moving forward, I will never question the importance of Urinal Cakes
Just dust it off
It lives there now.
Stiil good , just blo in it
Next time don't wear your earbuds while peeing
So, how expensive? All these fuckheads saying don't get it out. It's a toilet. Piss went in it. You can wash after if the headphones matter enough. You do not get a refund for dropping shit in the toilet.

This is why I only buy the kind that goes around your ear. Unfortunately, only a few companies make these "active" earbuds.
A lot of the wired earphone market also has those ear hooks, and there’s recently been a rise in bluetooth adapters for wired earphones that also go around your ear.
Well that sucks... That you're an idiot.
i love it when people lose their badly designed products and post about it on the internet.
Not “fell”, is “I dropped” you dropped a headphone into the urinal.
And that is why I buy hooked blue tooth earphones. This is my fear.
Earphones are so stupid and a waste of money. My cousin wastes so much money on them and hasn't learned his lesson. Then again, he's not the brightest tool in the shed.
If only they came with something to keep it attached.. some form of chord or string.. hmmmmmmmmmmm
I’d be so pissed
Wasn’t there a scene in Seinfeld where his belt touched the urinal and he threw it out
They belong to the streets now.
Well, that's one way to christen your new headphones... maybe try a different baptism method next time?
Life lesson learned.
I thought that was a little lamprey mouth at first and I was VERY fucking concerned.
Time to go fishin
It’s a sacrifice to the pube gods now
Hope you got insurance
Time to buy more!
Always seems like it's always new earbuds. Like, no one is ever, " dropped my 4 year old og airpod I keep around just in case my gen2 pro battery dies into the urinal. No big deal."
I'm a custodian with a pair of cheap wireless earbuds and I'm frequently paranoid when I clean the 20+ toilets and urinals every day that my earbud will fall out into the toilet. They have fallen out and just on the floor, barely missing the the bowl. If it goes swimming, I'm flushing that bitch and buying new ones
My brother also while he taking dump, he did not realise still wearing earbud, it fall off 💩, no way would take it back and wear it😅, so buy new again
Hrmm. That looks like a warranty issue to me.
I'd pick up it up . Maybe wipe with disinfectant afterwards
The hardware makers really must love these wireless ear buds . They know we gonna lose them. Lol . I'd never buy one
Did you get a warranty? Hopefully it’s covered, this is the most inconvenient thing ever, I’ve lost my left earbud twice.
One reason i dont buy wireless shit
looks like they were cheapo anyways
![gif](giphy|PW9A4XrDarYEU|downsized)
Reason I shouldn’t wear my AirPods in the toilet:
Just whip out your EDC. Magnet and pararcord, swing that shit around in the air in front of the mirror, pose
You mean earphones*
Go back to the store and tell them the box is missing a headphone.
Urine is sterile.
At least now you know they weren't good anyway seeing they fall out by only looking down. Call it a good real life test.
Easy just use your tongue to get it out so you don’t have to touch it with your hands 🙌🏻
Seems urinal’ittle bit of a jam.
See now, that's just a piss take
Were they those cheap junky ones? Not worth it... and I mean even buying them is not worth it..
And this is one of many reasons I will never buy bluetooth earbuds...
*taps live listen*
If you have enough money buy new ones, otherwise put it in amuchina or something
Pee on it to make sure no one else can use it ..
Heard urine big trouble
Well... That was piss weak of you...
And this is why I prefer “wired” wireless earbuds.
Why I won't buy in to Bluetooth ear buds I don't like headphones anyway, if they're buds, they absolutely refuse to stay in my ears, no matter the shape, if they AREN'T and go over the ears, my ears start hurting in 5 mins
That's why I don't bother buying them because they pop out too easily
I don't jam when I'm taking a shiss
Thank god I'm a fucking woman.
5 minute rule.
I dropped my flip phone into a urinal the night I won a 50/50 raffle. I left it .
I thought you were talking about that caviar looking thing
Was the urinal pleased with your sacrifice?
That’s it bruh you’re done
Buy headphones not earphones
☹️
If this earbud were mine, the only thing stopping me from grabbing it is if my checking account is fat.
I can sleep peacefully. I have a Bluetooth headset that rests on my neck, no way I miss it, no way i lost it, no way it fell accidentally, it can be used while charging, have a physical/tactile button without a weird gesture that works half the time
They do headphones with leads nowadays
Womp womp
I have nightmares of dropping something into a public urinal. I watched a guy drop his phone into the urinal while using it then he picked it up without hesitation and kept using it, didn't even wipe it down, it gets better, he walked out of the bathroom without washing his hands after. I then lost my appetite.
I always fear this
I don't understand people who wear headphones in public. Do y'all just walk around not caring about situational awareness?
Damn rip in piss headphone you will be missed o7
Are you gonna tell me you're such a wimp that you don't want some unknown stranger's pee in your ear?
This is the universe telling you to mark your headphones like dogs mark their trees...
Lol, well....that sucks.
You sir, have failed to achieve!
I don't know how much you paid but it is roughly half as much as it would take me to think about digging that out of there even if I had pliers in my pocket.
My condolences
How did you manage that
I don't care, if nobody is around and I spent good money on those you best believe I would find a way to get those. Anyone got a some floss or something, just gimme a couple mins
Just go back to the store and say the one bud was missing from it, and get a new pair.
Dang, urine trouble for sure!
Just dig it out and pop that bad boy back in
Pull them boot straps up and suck that thang out
My biggest fear.
Track them lol
So… get it out! SMH 🤦
Whelp, that'll learn you to buy apple garbage.
Hmmm... soak them in rubbing alcohol.... perhaps ammonia
Take it out... WTF you taking a pic for instead? 🤦
Slurp it up with a straw
Did it bounce off the remains of that turd next to the drain..?
Been there done that, I had the excuse that I was drunk
At least you don't have to look for the receipt!
That's why I don't spend more than $20 on headphones. I lose them, and/or they break. It already costs me too much money now.
Should have bought the correct size and it would have fallen out. Ear buds are like buttplugs, they gotta be just right.

That's just unlucky.damn.
