We drop them, we scratch them. We break them, we smash them. And most of the time it's an accident. But which of those times have been the worst for you?
I remember my first DS. I had it in my jacket pocket and I was running home after school to unload the tinkle I had been holding on the bus ride back. I didn't think to take my jacket off, so it fell out of my pocket and into the toilet >.>

For me? When I was little I got a Sega Dreamcast for Christmas. I loved playing Sonic Adventure and Vigilante 8 on it for the week I had it. Well, I also had a dog. That dog happened to be chewing on my controller cord while I was playing. I didn't notice until it was to late. While playing Vigilante, the game suddenly froze. I tried restarting the game, but to no avail. The thing wouldn't even start up. So I called my dad into the room about it. He looked over the console for a short moment, then noticed the dog eating the controller cord. He had eaten all the way through rubber coating around the copper wiring and had been gnawing on said wiring. I was grief stricken, what was I to do without my brand new Sonic game which I had yet to finish? To this day, I still don't understand how a dog eating through the controller could fry a console(lack of electronic knowledge and all).
