After saving his family from a burning home, this guy went back inside for his.....cell phone. This idiotic move wound up costing him his life. I know a lot of people rely a lot of phones nowadays...but do you think it was worth it? Or a better question would be, would you go back in for anything?

 

[juvenilepunk]

Sorry to say but he is an idiot, why would you go back in...

my pets.

Poor guy.
I guess that's where the phrase "I would die without my phone" comes from.

 

[ScapeRapist]

idiots and cell phones even at my school lol.

If I had a safe full of money, cash, I'd go in for the safe. Of course it'd have to be a large sum of money, and not just a few hundred.

the only thing i would run back into a burning buidin for besides my family is a pet but all mine are outside so......actuly i might run in to grab modern warfare 2

Wow that sucks, a life for a cellphone? Well there's not that many people who do this so I guess he thought, "What are the chances?"

 

[Bring Me The Horizon]

What a dumbass... Just get a fucking new one.

He's an hero , he wanted to save his porn

^^^^^^^ LOL yeah true.
I'd do the same for my teddy and Fallout 3.
Or not...
Phones are stupid wastes of money.
He just got unlucky though.
Maybe it was very valuable or he wanted to call the emergency services?

If you can prove you had the money in the safe, insurance would pay for it. Most safes/lock boxes are fireproof anyway..

This.

 

I know alot of people who would have probably done the same. Their cellphones are literally their lives

Depends. My phone has over 300 contacts on it and no backup plan. I'd die if lose that shit.

That's sad to be honest with you. Just jot down the numbers of people who you usually contact with the most frequently and if you ever lost your cellphone just add the important numbers.

Me, id get my family and dog out, once i have done that there would be no going back..

You all call him an idiot for running back into the house, and yes it was bad judgment. What if he was running back in because he had his house phone and couldnt call 911 and wanted to save his neighbors?
