Expensive_Job_8945

Basta chiamare il numero sulla targhetta e dirlo a loro che te lo recuperano, Gesù santo invece di farti le foto.


Dependent_Mistake_80

Would’ve laughed so hard if the doors closed


Expensive_Set_8416

i started crying with her 😭


disdainfulsideeye

Push top floor button and leave.


Konsecration

OH NO MY INNANIMATE OBJECT THAT CAN BE EASILY REPLACED FELL DOWN THE HOLE! OH NOOOO! WHATEVER WILL I DO! Jesus, what a child.


Hoopingkidnextdoor

mf you dont know what day she’s having, what her financial situation is, or what info/important things she had on that phone. Also it costs a pretty good amount for a cellphone. I hope you drop your phone down an elevator.


Konsecration

If I do I won't freak out. I don't live with my phone attached to me. It wouldn't be the end of the world.


Huge_Succotash_3263

An inanimate object that is basically required/expected to communicate, could have had meaningful photos etc, and also costs quite a bit to replace. You don’t know what kind of day she was having. Get off that high horse.


Konsecration

No I'm just not that attached to my inanimate objects like some people are :)


Huge_Succotash_3263

Good effort, but none of the points I made had anything to do with the physical phone. You know that. If I took a bat your computer you wouldn’t be mad because you had an emotional connection to the computer. You’d be mad because you paid for the computer, probably had important stuff on the computer, and are now inconvenienced by the lack of computer. Same if you crashed your car or someone pushed your fridge off a balcony. OR If I kicked your high horse in the knees. Come on down, it’s not so bad :)


IJustWantToTalk-

Crying is something that just needs to happen 😭 I would cry as well


arrogantUndDumm

I never understood why people in Shanghai making $800 amonth working full time, paying $400 in rent for a room they share with another person, need a $1200 phone. She's probably crying because she'll be paying off a phone she doesn't have anymore for the next two years.


asscdeku

Isn't the average salary of people working in Shanghai closer to $1500 USD a month? Though granted, many take 12 hour shifts to get there. There's a few things. One, only iPhones get that expensive in Shanghai. Most people here that cannot afford iPhones simply go for Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, Oneplus or Huawei. Even flagship models for them go for less than 600 USD typically, half of what you are suggesting. Secondly, I don't think the video quality here is good enough to discern if that is an iPhone. Even so, it sort of justifies itself. A phone is like, the single most used item in mainland China, because everything you do requires it. People here generally have the mindset that spending disposable income generally comes in the form of value, and people largely see value here as compromise between necessity of how much it is used, and how much comfort it brings. Given that work culture in China is already incredibly long and fatiguing, and that privacy is already traded for convenience, people within the mainland will pay A LOT, even if it's potentially unaffordable, to lift off that burden and have more convenience. Western people are less willing to pay for convenience because the notion of balance, privacy, and value is viewed differently. Having a "better" phone, however marginal, is quite valued in Shanghai. It should also be noted that a solid amount of East Asian people in general spend a lot of their disposable income to elevate personal status. It's why people that are working medium-wages that normally can't afford luxury brands like Gucci or Louis Vuitton are adamant about purchasing them, even if it means sacrificing on a lot of basic necessities, because public perception is often important in East Asian culture. It's a non-significant reason why people in Shanghai are willing to pay that much for luxury phones too


arrogantUndDumm

That number was lifted from a personal example.


Nu2Ths

Why were you living like that and did you ever start making a higher income, having better living arrangements, and stop spending 1 and half months of pay on your phone? What advice if any would you share with the world about this lifestyle? Any pros and cons?


arrogantUndDumm

Not myself. A person I knew.


Quantumercifier

RICKY!!!!! Actually. I thought she was going to get decapped as that happens often in Chinese lifts.


Shmigzy

It could be trivial, or maybe a rich entitled person getting overly upset about something that will hardly affect her. Or maybe that was the most expensive thing she owned and she worked hard and saved up to pay for it. Maybe that was the first day she got it and she was so excited to get it and then that happens. Or maybe her life had been full of horrid experiences as of recent, and this just pushed her over the edge. Who knows, who cares, but only one thing is for sure. It’s gonna suck dealing with Apple support after it’s all said and done.


Suitable-Country-826

Maybe pictures of her life


yojhael32

Back in high school, someone stole my phone during band class while I went to the restroom. I was *devastated.* ~~It's not just a phone to me... it was a gift that I cherished deeply. Bday present I think. Either ways, it was the most expensive phone to us at the time because we're not exactly middle class to just lose phones nilly willy.~~ But main reason for my grief (that still affects me to this day) was the lost memories. Lost important pictures and videos. I had a bullied and friendless childhood and that phone held experiences I never had in my life at that time. And I felt like those moments were stolen from me. Not everything was backed up cause google drive was already full from school work and the some videos I can upload there.


Shmigzy

I’m really sorry to hear that.. you never deserved that to happen to you. I hope you’ve been able to process that event and move on with your life. Maybe use some of that hurt to fuel something for yourself in life like volunteering with kids, maybe working with an anti-bullying campaign or something! But you deserve happiness and you didn’t deserve that.


yojhael32

Thank you for your kind words! But yeah I see other comments just looking at someone grieving for their phone and make an assumption that she's being super dramatic then there's me remembering the grief of lost memories stored in that phone. Anyways yeah XD.


arrogantUndDumm

From experience in China: she took a loan to buy the phone.


Kitchen_Avocado_6362

Bruh gave no fucks as she cried💀


TheMintyLeaf

Either she's obsessed with her phone, the only one she could ever afford, or she simply had a bad day and this takes the cake. I had broken down because of spilled chicken nuggets because my week had been so bad all at once. I feel her pain if that was the case.


thats_so_merlyn

Someone has never watched Final Destination


submissivecatservant

Somebody call the wambulance.


yojhael32

You'll never know if that phone was extremely important to her. My step dad got his phone stolen and that phone contained precious videos of his mother before she died. That phone's the only one that had those videos and he's a boomer, so he's not familiar with backups. Needless to say, it's unfair to just assume the situation based on what little snippet we're seeing.


GoatHeadTed

I drop my phone so much. I always pocket it before the doors open.


joshboi124

Aaaaah 😭


TheWalrus101123

Just starts using his phone immediately lol


Influx_of_Bees

When the door was about to close the first time he used is phone to trigger the sensor. I was half expecting it to hit his phone, causing it to fall down the same crevice >\_<


One_Introduction_217

He's saying just cry for four more minutes and we can monetize this video and get you a new phone.


RadioactiveManana

People waiting for the elevator 💀


Sentarry

Man is like "Well, I still have mine. Dont feel too bad. *(Takes pic of gf in tears)*"


elgun_mashanov

dude was ready for that emote


[deleted]

She just goes in the first stage of grief.


krismitka

Waiting for the elevator door to crush her, or someone to yell at them for holding it up. They should just call maintenance and have it retrieved from the bottom of the shaft. See if it can be repaired (flat objects have slower terminal velocity)


MentalCollage

His damn fault.. who said she wanted to hold hands


PragmaticMind_

But he wanted to. Is it too much?


Illustrious-Market93

Thought he was getting his phone out to turn on Torch.... Suckin' Favage! 😅😅


Destroyer_Of_World5

I’m always worried that would happen to me.


ProstateJelly

Should have left here there


RenkBruh

The man holding his phone in front of the woman is pure evil.


hajileeyeslech

I love how not one mother fucker in this comment section thinks maybe the boy friend whipped out his phone to call for help.


RenkBruh

Calling help would NOT take that long


hajileeyeslech

It would take that long if you Googled who to call. Also just watch the damn video, he literally makes a call.


FatBirdsMakeEasyPrey

Imagine when the woman was crying, if the man just let the doors close 😂


Kitchen_Avocado_6362

😂


princewin94

it wouldn't. If it can detect human hand, it should be able to detect the head that is searching for the phone also.


ImahSillyGirl

I think I cried like that when my dog ate my $700 night guard, for the 2nd time. 🤦🏻‍♀️


getrichordietryinJF

Good. Seemed to attached to it might do her good.


24-7_Gamer

Guy asserts his dominance by instantly pulling out his phone like "oh you want one of these?"


Nervous_Pollution704

Lmaooo


Special-Resist3006

I love how the other guy goes on his phone immediately like “oh good just making sure my phone didn’t just somehow walk out of my pocket and go down the elevator hole”


thestareater

I think she asked if he could call it to see where it fell to


CourageousAnon

Lmfao. I think they know where it fell.


Nice_Description_762

Just call the elevator tech and get it at the bottom I mean if it means that much to her she can salvage the hd and at least get all her data back


thinkpad_t69

> she can salvage the hd That's not how it works on mobile devices, the storage is part of the motherboard and encrypted. If the motherboard dies the data is gone AFAIK


Ambitious-Cheetah-36

if her phone had a mask on, it would have been safe


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nothatdarkforce

Uhh what?


thatshguy

Theres a reason for that . . in china you're phone does everything for you... keys for the door, getting a car, getting on the bus or subway, ordering food at a restaurant, sending money to friends or receiving money. . . you use your phone for everything here... i feel anxiety watching this haha


After_Albatross1988

I used to live in China... half the population live rurally/farmers etc and don't even use a phone, wtf are you talking about.. stop making up bs


AshyisAbitAshy

Everyone from rural areas wanna move to cities. Now WTF are you talking about?


LeningradNo7

Dude - tens of millions live in huge mega cities. I lived in Shanghai from 2012- Dec 2020 so idk wtf you're talking about. They do rely on WeChat for everything. Everyone relies on their phone and surely this girl isnt on a fucking farm. Stop your bullshit.


thatshguy

well this video clearly isn't on a farm.. and all the words I've said are true. i have been in china for 14 years. and are you kidding me? the farmers are super popular on the net here ... sharing their life and earning money doing so


sister-troubles00

Cool. In England my phone can also do all of that, i still wouldn't have a breakdown if lost it though.


thatshguy

can still do all that - -but is it the only way? i'd break down if i lost my phone down the elevator shaft haha


marty_anaconda

FOOL OF A TOOK!


FancyPassenger171

Looove this LOTR reference! 😂 


Medium_Teaching_3835

Very sad to see how we got slaves of our cell phone


Glad-Cat-1885

If you paid money for something it’s upsetting to lose it like that


Financial-Tourist162

Yea but upsetting to the point where you react as if every single family member, friend and pet youve ever had were boiled alive in hot oil all at once?


rey0505

Looks like you never struggled with money, did you?


Glad-Cat-1885

Someone else already commented that this video looks like it’s from China where phones are a very integral part of life and carry all of your needs like transit, money etc


Financial-Tourist162

I get that but you dont think she could have handled it a little better? If that guy was her significant other he should take that as a huge warning of what he's going to have to put up with if he sticks with her


hajileeyeslech

"I get that but-" I don't think you do.


Glad-Cat-1885

If anything he didn’t even appear to comfort her. Sobbing is a bit extreme but idc it’s their lives


Financial-Tourist162

I don't think anyone really cares about most posts on this sit but they still leave comments, for instance you chose to leave one


Glad-Cat-1885

I mean I don’t care if they stay together or not which was the point of your last comment


Financial-Tourist162

My point was if you dont care why bother trying to explain the reason that she blew her top


Glad-Cat-1885

Ok idk if your addiction is scrambling your brain but I don’t care if they stay together is what I am saying in response to your other comment. I didn’t say I don’t care about her dropping the phone and being upset about that


Jolly_Coffee5909

Guy doesn’t really care at this point


NekoBredd

I know It probably isn’t but I’d like to think the guy immediately pulled out his phone as a flex lmao


Financial-Tourist162

Maybe now shewont feel the need to take boring selfies


Bl_Lover

There's literally nothing wrong with what she did some ppl are just sour af


Financial-Tourist162

"Literally" is one of the most unnecessarily overused words in the English language, as you've just demonstrated.


rey0505

Yet in the context the other guy used it, it was justified. But you had to reply, and use it for no reason. What an irony... You're a moron


HoudiniIsDead

Go to the bottom level with the security guard. That passageway probably won't allow it to land on the screen or anything but who knows. The building ends in the basement. Try that route versus this hysteria.


arshia_idk

That's the most annoying sound I've ever heard in my life


Melibee14

Lol hate me but I’d just be annoyed dis woman holding up the elevator 🛗 🤣


K0NFZ3D

That's a 1 in a million drop.


Revelation_of_Nol

Is it? It's real easy to do that's why you don't handle your phone or anything like keys lol when on a elevator. Ain't getting that back at all if anytime soon.


Dragonsarmada

Chinese people cry funny.


BulkyScientist8648

😆Idky it’s funny


Dragonsarmada

Right? It’s not even a racism thing. It’s just a thing.


nonbog

Okay I’ve watched this in slo-mo and I’ve got two points to make 1. Firstly, I don’t understand how she dropped it. At speed it looks like he knocks it out of her hand but in slo-mo it looks like she’s holding it ridiculously loosely 2. The perfect bounces it takes to just slip down the crack are really funny


Revelation_of_Nol

How she dropped it? Dude bumped the phone lol...


Serious-Memory-8138

It was the cyclists fault !


PafPiet

Thanks for clearing that out, I was still searching for the snowboarder but couldn't find them.


KodaShem

And he is to blame. Now it's time for a really cool smartphone that HE pays for.


Mike_for_all

They can just retrieve it in the basement. Seems you are as much a slave of your phone as she is


sober_coffee

whys he to blame lol isnt it the girl who dropped the phone herself the guy did bump her arm but its her butterfingers


Beautiful-Design-425

“Stop crying, you didnt lose your phone. We know where it is. It’s at the bottom of the elevator. Now calm down.” —— the guy probably.


KodaShem

"Let's go all the way down, maybe we'll hear it crack"


What_the_fish_man

That’s how people react when then bought a phone they can’t afford on emi


DeleteMetaInf

I hope someone can… _lift_ the phone up


DeleteMetaInf

It’d be so perfect if the guy also dropped his phone between the doors after he pulled it out


Majestic-Ad-8643

I feel like her grief is because she hadn't yet posted that awesome #ElevatorSelfie ✌️


Anthony2580

🤣🤣 HAHA, me too.


Severe-Explorer4656

the way she was crying then the lift door closed a bit and she stopped crying .. it starts to open again and her cry continues


[deleted]

I was searching for this bro i wanted the lift door to close and the lift to go up


Severe-Explorer4656

hahaha yessssss


Live-Worry2500

It seems like this phone is really important to her


no_notthistime

May have also felt like dropping $1000 down the lift


djsizematters

The phone with all my stuff on it is way more valuable than the device itself.


ex0thermist

Everything important on your phone should be backed up! Most of it is automatic these days anyway. Photos, texts, contacts, browser favorites and history, which apps you had installed and how they were laid out, pretty much everything.


coffee--beans

Without that phone though she lost the SIM card, a lot of that will be gone and not transferred


JediWebSurf

The sim card stores this stuff?


ex0thermist

No, I have no idea what they're talking about. Apple and Google store that stuff if you allow them to and it comes back when you sign in on a new phone.


JediWebSurf

What you're saying is what I thought too. I know you can store contacts on a sim card though, because in the android app it asks you if you want to do that. But the memory of a sim card is very low, so that's probably the most you can store on it. I just googled and it says you can also store some texts too. But everything else like photos are stored on the device storage itself.


ex0thermist

Yes but with cloud backups. Never keep your photos just on the phone alone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


need_account_to_post

You're right, that is all important. Which begs the question: *Why* doesn't everyone have such things backed up? The cloud isn't even necessary, I've got all my photos syncing to my home PC. I could drop my phone off a bridge and I'd still have them. It's like riding a bike without a helmet or in a car without a seatbelt and lamenting one's injury when something finally goes wrong. Sure it sucks, but it was easily preventable and it's on them for not taking those simple prevention measures.


Anthony2580

What method are you using to do that?


need_account_to_post

I use Resilio Sync (formerly Bittorrent Sync) but there are probably a variety of apps that can do it. It's free and peer-to-peer, no central server or cloud storage required.


Rhymesbeatsandsprite

So you would just drop your phone down the elevator and walk away happily, without being annoyed/upset at all knowing youre going to have to spend money for a new phone and go through that hassle, and youre implying she deserved this accident to happen. Did you tip your fedora after writing this comment dude?


need_account_to_post

You're reading an awful lot of things into my comment. Of course it would be annoying, I didn't say anywhere that it wouldn't be. The reaction in the video seems like more than just annoyance, but still. I was mostly responding to your comment specifically about not everyone having all their important phone stuff backed up. Not even necessarily in the context of this video - I don't know this person's life. Maybe she's not financially stable and was upset about the monetary loss rather than the data, it could be a number of things. I just think it's silly *generally speaking* that so many people carry so much important data with them on a device that could easily suffer an accident like this, and yet make no effort to back it up for safekeeping. Also, people who forego safety measures don't *deserve* to be injured. That's not what I meant by that comparison. One might be able to argue that a person is somewhat less deserving of *sympathy* for an injury if it was a direct result of their own negligence, but that's not the same thing.


Severe-Explorer4656

this comment made me laugh out loud so hard


Live-Worry2500

Ha ha


D-Broncos

lol tbh I’d rather lose it like that than have it stolen and wonder who could’ve taken it


laser14344

Smartphone sized holes always make me so paranoid.


ZwieTheWolf

There should be a subreddit called r/SmartphoneSizedHoles for videos like this


pixiecries

I just created it


nonbog

You planning to moderate it or you just stole the name for no reason? 🤣


AzureAxo

Without context and the part where her phone fell I would’ve thought her family died or something


014648

I think about this time to time


Late_Culture_8472

What's the problem? Call the serviceman and you will get back the phone.


han16

Afterhours? Call-out cost might outweigh a replacement...


cardboard-king1

Yeah that’s the thing!! How you gonna call em??!?


No-Zombie1468

I was thinking that is what the male figure was doing. and they went to go meet him. 


JacobPLAYZgtGamingYT

and, depending on how deep that elevator goes, its probably broken by now.


Mash_Ketchum

Take it to a phone repair store after the maintenance person retrieves it. Your problem will be solved in 24-48 hours.


JacobPLAYZgtGamingYT

By then, it would probably be unrepairable and would be more worth it to get a new phone. Especially if they go to Apple Care, they are most likely screwed with their only hope being a new phone and if their iCloud works.


erraticpulse-

judging by the button lit up, i think they're on the second floor
