Phonemat
When beer threatens your mobile. | |
Many people put their mobile phone on the bar next to their beer. This is a potentially dangerous situation.
So I propose a phonemat to keep it safe.
In the Netherlands we use beermats that are a circular piece of cartboard that can suck up a surprising amount of liquid. They have the brand of
some beer printed on them. The phonemat would be about the same size but rectangular. They could have lots of fun things printed on them that I'll leave to your abundant imagination.
square coasters are available

and so are rectangular ones

It's not beer that threatens the phone but vica versa. |
|
|
Like a dog on a leash, never let that phone out of your sight! if the wife / g.f. / significant other can't find you at a moment's notice there will be hell to pay. |
|
|
Add a signal canceling feature to the phonemat, a device that emits a field that renders the phone unable to make or receive calls and then you will be able to drink in peace. [-] |

It's not that it's a bad idea...it's that... |
|
|
you could just use a coaster. |
|
|
daft and virtually useless, ie perfect
Bakery material [+} |
|
|
I assume that bun is for the coaster. |
|
|
No, the bun is the wrong shape for the coaster; here, you need this crescent-shaped coaster [+] to rest your buns on; otherwise they'll start soaking up those spilled phone calls from your wife. |
|
|
Now I'm so confused. Isn't a circular, square or rectangular piece of (sp) carDboard in fact a type of coaster anyway? |
|
|
Maybe it's a cardboard bar roller coaster, whenever the infra red beer glass comes close to your coastered mobile phone, it shifts it's position and shuffles along the bar away from you. |
|
|
Yep a coaster it is (disposable coaster, single serving coaster), rectangular for your phone. thanks I had forgotten that name, coaster. |
|
|
Hey, I went to a pub today and they had rectangular (Sam Adams) coasters and I thought of you! |
|
|
In this technologically-savvy age, I guess we could always use another gadget that seems important at the moment. Very clever... |

Especially if you pick up the wrong one when the phone rings... |

I hate it when I answer my beer. |
