Survey: Where people lose their cell phones

To lose your mobile phone is unfortunate but to flush it down the toilet is especially careless, although common, if new figures are to be believed, reports The Telegraph.

"Research by SimplySwitch suggests that a huge 885,000 people see their handsets disappearing this way every year.

... The company revealed that 810,000 mobiles were left in the pub each year, with 315,000 left in the back of a taxi and 225,000 on a bus.

Pet dogs apparently chewed their way through 58,500 handsets last year, while another 116,000 went through a spin cycle with the dirty laundry."
