One of my framers dropped his phone down the jobsite porta potty. Will the service driver fish it out, or is it gone?
Happened this morning around break. Guy leaned over to grab toilet paper and the phone slid right out of his shirt pocket into the tank. He can still hear it buzzing, which is honestly the worst part.
Our regular pump day isn't until Thursday. A couple of the guys are already talking about rigging a magnet on a rake handle, and I'd rather nobody do that on my site.
So a few questions for anyone who's dealt with this:
- Will the route driver actually try to pull it out with the vacuum hose or a grabber, or do they just tell you it's a loss?
- Is it worth calling for an early service visit, or is the phone toast after sitting in there a few days anyway?
- Should we lock the unit until then so nobody keeps using it on top of the phone?
Rather handle it the right way than have someone fall in a hole over a phone.
