Not so water proof.

Ever have the feeling that your life goes into certain stages that have a theme to them? Kind of how I managed to make milk tart for the first time by myself, and how I had to make millions of them just so the world could have a taste. The current life theme is that I'm having waterproof items die on me from water exposure. I couldn't tell you when some waterproof device has failed at ANY time in my life if you had asked me a few weeks ago. And yet, during the last week, I've had my very nice Nike (waterproof) watch and a (waterproof) electric tooth-brush die on me.

How do I know the water did it?, in both cases the screens seriously fogged up, and there were water droplets inside. The tooth brush has stopped charging, and now the watch won't shut up. What do I mean by the watch not shutting up you ask? Somehow the water is causing the thing to shriek like a banshee and I just can't get the alarm to shut off. So now the watch is sitting under a bean-bag in a long forgotten room of our house (Ashleighs room). It's probably still going now, let me check...hmm, it seems to only be making clicking noises now, and the display is totally dead too, maybe the battery has had it.

So now I'm a skeptic as far as water proofing is concerned. Epic fail on QAs part.

I laughed at the idea of you hiding your watch because it was making noise. Sorry that your waterproof items have failed. You should get your money back.

Turns out that mother nature and entropy always win in the end.

The hiding-the-watch story is funny :-).
