Phone manufacturers are pretty direct in their guidance on this one.

    if you feel the need to bring your phone into the shower, you really need to take a hard look into your steamed up mirror

          LG Smart

          It is most likely spying in you.

            It tells me I’m the handsomest boy in the whole building except the guy in 3B. He drives a Porche.

              I once met a hooker who said “I’ll do anything for 50 dollars”. I replied, “Paint my house.”

              I gave her a paint bucket and told her to start with the porch.

              She came back about an hour later and said “All done!”.

              I said, “Wow, that was fast.”

              She said, “Yeah, I’m getting pretty good at this. Oh and by the way, that’s not a porch, it’s a Mercedes.”

      It’s either a phone or a radio/speaker. Sometimes a portable CD player with aux cable.

        But that isn’t in the shower, it’s in the bathroom.

          I thought they meant the whole bathroom, since this was about steam. You can’t even really use a wet (capacitive) touchscreen.

        Why not a tape deck in the shower?
