I was climbing out of the bathtub, one hand holding my 10" tablet, the other swinging around vigorously to keep my balance.
I placed the tablet onto a 5-gallon bucket of roofing compound that I keep next to the bathtub, but to my dismay, the tablet slipped off the bucket and fell onto a sledgehammer resting next to it. Glass side down, of course.
The terrible sound of glass on sledgehammer!
For a few seconds I thought the screen was broken: there were weird lines going across the lit LCD. But it turned out it was just water droplets that ran across the surface.
While no damage had occurred, in light of this accident, and the previous accident (in which I spilled 1 liter of water onto my laptop), I clearly need to review safety procedures around my house.
To that effect, I moved the sledgehammer behind the bucket, so it's more out of the way.
