855,000 Phones Dropped in UK Toilets Yearly

Did you know 855,000 phones are flushed down the toilet every year in the UK? That’s both true and ridiculous. SimplySwitch, a price comparison site that apparently services the UK, came up with this number. How many people are in the UK? 60.7 million? That’s about 1.5% of the population that actually flushed their phones down the toilet.

It’s surprising, and odd. I am not sure how that many people could have that happen. Either you talk on your phone too much, or need to keep the phone out of your back pocket. Surprisingly, more people drop their phones in the toilet than they leave at the pubs.
