The man says he got a frosty reception from his daughter after her device was entombed in ice.

    It was not until the following day that one of the team spotted the bright pink object - borrowed by the worker after he misplaced his own phone - frozen in the middle of the rink.

    My man needs a lanyard for his phone…

      Lost his phone. Borrowed someone else’s phone. Lost that one too. I was going to slag him off, but remembered I have ADHD and am almost always doing this sort of shit. I was even going to say “with less freezing”, but then I remembered about the time I found my glasses in the freezer. So fair do’s.

        I lost my glasses for 3 weeks, and was freaking out because I needed to drive somewhere urgently.

        Yeah, they were in the car. Along with the emergency pair I always forget about :|

    The worker said:

    “My daughter wasn’t happy […] but after a short time – and the promise of a temporary replacement - she cooled off."

    Couldn’t resist could he XD

    Well that’s a funny way to detox from social media.

    Remember to back up your phone.

        Yes. However, I meant the data of the phone copied to a computer.

          Hahaha! I totally misread that! Yes, if you don’t have it stored in three places, you don’t have it.

    The only requirement for the replacement phone is that the ringtone is set to “Ice Ice Baby”.
