Have you ever spilled water on something valuable?
I haven’t, but I’ve come very close at times.

Reading the signs on the street
Here’s an interesting question. When you are driving somewhere, do you read all/most of the signs along the road or do you simply head to your destination? I ask the question because I read all of the signs as I pass them, including billboards. So what about you? Do you just head to your destination…

Yeeeeah. It wasn’t water, but I spilled an entire glass of orange juice on my 1-week old Apple Wireless Keyboard…goodbye 70 bucks.
I spilled water on my foot.
When i worked as a tech at CompUSA back in the day, a lady came in with a laptop that she had spilled a full glass of Jim Bean into.
Having too small kids, I am usually greatly relieved when it’s only water that has been spilled.
Rather, I prefer to leave my small valuables in a shirt or pants pocket and then forget about them until after the load of laundry has been done.

I didn’t necessarily spill the water, but… just shortly after moving to Italy, I was itching to use my computer productively to realize some ideas. Over the next 3 months, the water-cooling pipes in the computer burst 4 TIMES, taking 2 to 3 components to the grave every time.
After effectively purchasing 4 brand new high-end computers, and at my last wit’s end (and dollar), the problem was finally solved. Two days later, the internet service went out for 3 months… Water and I do not get along.
No, but I’ve had an entire large (16oz) glass of milk spilled on *me* while I was sitting in a restaurant waiting for my meal. I was wearing a (ugly) black leather jacket at the time which highlighted the white milk nicely. The poor waiter was mortified. I felt bad for him. All I could say was “was it something I said?”. I took it as a sign that it was time to ditch the jacket which I did.
orange juice down the back of the telly – very sticky and non working now!
My dad spilt a glass of water near my brand new macbookpro. I grabbed it quickly off the table. But some of it had got in the back. I held it upside down as water dripped out. Not much but a little.
I left it standing on its side overnight in a warm room. And in the morning it was fine.
Phew!
Ironically, I spilt APPLE CIDER on my Apple ‘Pismo’ Powerbook back in the day. As expected, it freaked out, but only for a day! The next morning, I popped all of the keys out, wiped the thing down with a Clorox Cleansing Wipe as best I could, popped the keys back in and voila! Good as new if not better. Maybe the cider give it extra magical powers. That machine was awesome until I sold it to upgrade to a Titanium Powerbook and so on.
I have spilled glasses of water into my keyboard and on my mouse more times thatn I can count. Funny thing, though, it’s not often that this actually ruins them.
