I just cracked a handset
Feb 21, 2008 Just Plain Awesomeness, me
Where I work, we sell digital phone systems made by Nortel. The main phone we sell is also the one that we use here at our desks. They are great phones, but even great phones have their limits.
It has been said around these parts that these phones are so durable that cars can run over them. Well, we were joking around about that, so I thought it would be a good idea to stand on the handset-part of the phone. So I disconnected it, laid it on the floor, and started to stand on it. I mean, hey, a car can run over it and it will be fine, right? Wrong.
It made a loud CRACK sound, at which point I stepped off of it. Would it have completely broken in half? Maybe? We all were rolling on the floor laughing at that. A car won’t hurt it, but I will.
I need to lay off the hot wings.
