In my case, the phone was clipped on my belt.  But the belt proved not to be 
thick enough to keep the phone from sliding down it and you know the rest.

Our plumber Marty has a plumbing business with his two sons. One day we were 
having a problem with our connection to the Irving City Sewer system (tree 
roots had invaded the line, which we eventually replaced) and Marty was bent 
over the open connection to our sewer line, preparing to run a snake down it. 
His youngest son chastised him loudly for leaving his cell phone in his front 
shirt pocket. You wouldn't think that the odds would be high for having the 
phone slide out of a shirt pocket and down such a small hole, but apparently 
this had become a rather expensive occupational hazard for him.
