Phone in bathtub

A few people have died accidentally after dropping their charging phone in the tub with them. Any way this is a viable method?

My phones fucked already. Actually so is my bath

With our luck, if we attempt something like that, we will suffer a mild electrocution or go blind.

Iirc, bath tub electrocution has a pretty low success rate.

That method is unreliable, I'd rather bring a toaster in the tub.

My phone says it's water resistance

I remember seeing movies where wives would throw hair dryers while their husbands were taking a shower. Don't know if that works. In the movies it did.

Seems like a great way to break your phone. Even if it did work electrocution would be a very painful death. It would be like burning from the inside.

Tried a radio in bath once and just tripped the fuse box...Felt annoyed as had to scramble round flat in dark trying to fix fuse box...another failure

1/ You need to replace the trip switch or the fuse with solid copper wire, both the main fuse and the one to the outlet. There's no way to make it look like an accident, and you're likely to set the building on fire.
2/ a phone charger has a 5w output. No chance that dunking a charging phone in the bathtub will do anything at all to you.
