How many cell phones are dropped in the toilet each year?
And the study suggests that lots of us have lost or damaged items due to
our toilet habits. Direct Line says that in the last year alone, 1.8
million people have dropped their mobile phone down the toilet.

I don't know why people take their phones with them to the toilet in the first place. What is so incredibly important a person cannot wait for a phone call (or text)? It's ridiculous.

The bathroom is the most dangerous space in your home. It pays to
take a phone in there when you are going to bathe/shower, it is also suggested one place it lower where you could reach it from the floor
if need be. My building is older and constructed of heavy concrete
and over the years I have lived here, three people have died in their bathrooms, unable to make anyone hear them calling or knocking.

Nope, just well constructed so that noise does not aggravate

have the radio on extremely loud for next door to hear it, I consider

They are building large, 4 storey condo/apartment buildings in Calgary

was okay but when We stopped for coffee on the way the the district

i told him i felt fine...... then i ran to the can and puked. He sent me >home.

When I stay in NJ, it is actually on the third level. No problem
though. Elevator.
It is a duplex. First level is split half and half, left/right. First level is the other owner full width, she is top level, 2400 sq. ft.
The bathroom is the most dangerous space in your home. It pays to
take a phone in there when you are going to bathe/shower, it is also suggested one place it lower where you could reach it from the floor
if need be. My building is older and constructed of heavy concrete

Years ago I was shopping for a dress shirt and kept reject those that
the salesman was trying to foist on me. I rejected them because they did
not have a chest pocket. He told me they weren't making mens' shirts
with chest pockets anymore. I told him there was no way I would buy a
shirt without a pocket. It was just a few months later they started
carrying shirts with pockets again.

a dime. Story of my life. :(

and fell in the bathtub while taking a shower. I was at home alone.
Fortunately I wasn't hurt but I could have been. Cell phones weren't
at all common in 1983. What would you have suggested I do? Stop
taking showers when I was at home by myself? This is why there are
things like grab-bars in bathrooms.
I fell in the shower when one morning getting ready for work. I thought
was okay but when We stopped for coffee on the way the the district
office I was walking like a drunk. My boss wondered what was wrong but
i told him i felt fine...... then i ran to the can and puked. He sent me home.

Stairs come in at 16% for total accidents. Garden is very high for
total accidents. Falls may differ but not shown here.
Old people avoid stairs.
2 story house. One that was built down the street last year is also a 2
story house. One would think older people would avoid stairs, yet they
are still building brand new 2 story houses. Go figure.
Is there a first-floor bedroom suite? That can make a lot of difference.
The kids can use the second-floor bedroom(s) when they visit, while
the owners fort up in the first-floor bedroom.

The newest house is still being framed. I don't know the people in the house down the street well enough to inquire, although I do see them
walking their dog sometimes and we wave at each other. :)Â I think it
may also have to do with the size of the lots, which are rather small.
It's cheaper to build *up* than to pay for a larger lot.

I like having a house with no stairs. Not so much for safety as
for my knees.
When I joined the Y I was surprised to see a number of people who
rode the elevator from the locker room up one floor to the gym. It
was no surprise to see that they tended to be those who most
needed to use the stairs.
Physio therapy sessions are normally on 2nd level here. A lot of
the gyms give space for medical services to use them if they
provide the tech for it.
Yes... and? There was no physiotherapy on the second floor. I
appreciate you need to defend the slackers but they were just too
damned lazy to walk.
