When I was at a kid, I was helping a neighbour in the pits at a motorbike drag race event and a lady walking past dropped her phone and it did this, burst into pieces like a frag grenade and I laughed so hard, not trying to be mean, just amused by the energy with which it self destructed. She was flustered and started yelling at me while picking up the pieces and putting it back together. As she walked off she tried to put the phone in the back pocket of her booty shorts, but missed the pocket, dropped it again, and it once again exploded into pieces. I burst out laughing again and had to run around the bike trailer because she started chasing me, but the trailer was parked on grass and her heels dug in as she turned the corner around the trailer and she took a tumble, shoes flying off while I was trying to apologise through laughter and then I was doubled over dying from laughing so hard. I wasn't trying to be a dick at any point but she was having a very bad day. I was about 14 at the time. I hope she's doing ok.
