(I was a customer at a cell phone store, observing the following exchange.)
Employee: “I’m sorry sir, but your phone has water damage, which isn’t covered by the warranty. You will have to purchase a new phone.”
Customer: “That’s ridiculous! I haven’t gotten the phone wet!”
Employee: “Have you used the phone in the rain? Sometimes, that’s all it takes to get the internals wet enough to damage the device.”

Customer: *storms out*
