When adults have a baby for the first time, theyโre usually inseparable for the first few months. Both the mum and dad take time off work just to stare at their little creation and play with it all day before cuddling with it at night. They canโt go anywhere without their little creature.
You may not have noticed it, but you probably treat your phone the same way. You take it to work, school, the toilet, and even the bath.
Yes, the bath. And if youโve studied Science until the Primary 3 level, youโd know that water and electricity donโt mix.

Teen Allegedly Died from Electrocution After Charging Her Phone While Taking a Bath
A 15-year-old girl from France passed away after being electrocuted from charging her phone while taking a bath.
According to Sin Chew Daily, the teenager was charging her phone when it accidentally slipped out of her hands, hitting her chest before sliding into the water.
Now, Iโve heard of people charging their phones while they sleep, but could she really not wait 20 minutes to use her phone? How can someone be so attached to a device?
Me: *takes phone and power bank to toilet*
The girl was immediately electrocuted and fell to the ground unconscious, reported World of Buzz.
Died from Heart Failure
Her father tried to rush her to the hospital, but, unfortunately, she passed away due to heart failure.
Investigations revealed that this wasnโt the first time the teenage girl charged her phone in the shower.
In fact, her parents had previously advised her against the dangerous practice, but she refused to listen.

Some Advice

Do not overcharge your device and never leave it charging overnight. And, while this shouldnโt have to be said, never take your phone to the bath with you, especially if itโs charging.
