Ways to break tablets / smartphones that are Unique to IRISH people

How do Irish people break their mobile gear that the rest of the world would find impossible?

No brands mentioned in my opening post, I own both apple and Android devices.

Dropped from the Blarney Stone.

Or hit with a shelelagh.

I'm not sure we have any unique device-breaking powers tbh.

That'd be more how tourists break them with "things they think are essential to Irish people and true representations of Irish culture", which frankly, is a bit of a mouthful.

And do many break phones in that manner?

Well now, I might have to allow that one.

My best guess is a rogue sliother making contact while people film at the side lines, but even that is a long shot.

I used to repair phones back in the days when a phones battery would last two weeks. None of this touchscreen jazz.


Had a device that was dropped in for warranty repair from one of the large phone stores.


Smelt it , opened it up. It had clearly been dropped into a sileage pit....

Well if a phone got a bit successful
and ideas above it’s station
we would drag it back down
and feel better in our situation.

Maybe it was up somebody's arse.

Apparently back in the day the biggest cause of damage tophines was men placing them in their shirt pockets and then the phone falling out into pint glasses as they leaned over tables.

This would be back in the early 00's that i read this.

The clever (and cool) ones kept it clipped to their belt in a leather case.

All my phones were like that when I lived in Portlaois for that 18 months.

I had a flip phone once from a make that was big at the time but like Nokia is gone now. Anyways it was pissing me off so I went to give it a gentle kick and instead I split it in two with one half landing in my neighbours back yard lol. I got it back but ye it was not going back together so that was the end of that. Not the worst phone I ever had but not the best either.

While the sliotar might have otherwise been on a long flight, it will be the close shots that break the phones.

Is that hugely different to being hit with a baseball or a cricket ball? Hockey puck, football, etc....
