That’s what makes this funny. Like Charlie said, people like him and his generation get roasted all the time for that kind of thing on the internet and I actually thought they settled down. As soon as he said he talked to someone about that method, I was like ohh no, they’ve resurfaced.
i find it hilarious cause the moment this happens again and he uses rice and it doesnt work the friend that told him it would is going to be in this exact situation
no it was kinda helping his point since the employee said something which was obviously wrong ("the earth is flat") and the npc douchebag said "many people would tell me it isn‘t" which would mean that "many people" would be in the right here and the employee was lying. But on a higher level where it is just "many people disagree with the employee" it would kinda make sense for the employee but still not a great point to make from him.
This is like going to a movie theater, buying a ticket for a movie, watching the movie, leaving the theater, driving home, and then coming back the next day threatening to call the cops because the movie was on Netflix.
@@ChewyChicken589 in this case it'd be unironically. As the joke comes from an episode of Arthur, where someone genuinely didnt understand that concept. So in this case, the genuine-ness makes it seem morr unironic.
As someone in customer service I feel this. Had a woman come up to me recently asking if something was on sale. I asked where she saw a sale price so I could find out and she says that there wasn’t one, she just figured they’d be on sale. She gets annoyed at me calmly telling her that unless someone changed the price in the system for no reason and told NOBODY, then it wasn’t on sale. She asks me how I could know for sure and having no way to do that I just tell her to go through a self checkout and cancel if it wasn’t on sale. She tells me TO MY FACE that I’m not very helpful, walks off, tells my coworker that I’m bad at my job, and then walks back and tells me “They aren’t on sale just so you know.” YES! I KNOW! THATS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU! YOU CAN’T JUST MAKE UP A SALE AND THEN GET UPSET WHEN IT DOESN’T EXIST!
@@AllHailDiskordia That's pretty much it, some people's are either bored or just want to start an argument to vent the anger that they got from home or work problems that they cant react to without consequences. Or they just want to argue for the sake of arguing.
"The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren't."
The thing I always dislike from this (entirely true) statement, is that it's difficult to argue with smart people for completely different reasons. Smart people - if they know what they're talking about, being smart doesn't make you an all-knowing expert of all things - it's difficult to argue with them because they're almost certainly right, and if you're arguing with them, it's because you BELIEVE they aren't... even if you KNOW they are. With stupid people, it's just... trying to come up with the right analogy or logic-puzzle to trick them into agreeing with you based on logic or an argument they already tried to use on you, and making them REALIZE that's what you/they did. It's trying to take an intrinsic fact, and bring it way, way down to their level, and then get them to accept it. Like tricking a dog to eat a pill in some cheese, because you can't possibly convince them that they need it. Sorry, this subject matter just... resonates with me.
Arguing with a fool is like playing chess with a pigeon. It doesn't matter how masterfully tutored you've been in the theory, how sound your thinking and strategy is, or how good you are at the game in general, the pigeon is always going to knock over the chess pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.
This is like the equivalent of breaking a bone, going to a doctor, getting a cast put on, and returning the next day to complain that they didn’t just use a bandaid.
It's like social anxiety in reverse. Some people get bad service and avoid complaining so that they can just move on with their day. Then there's this guy.
"White rice does not repair an electrical connection that's damaged." "How do you know what was wrong with it?" "Because I went through it, looked at it, and found the problem" "You didn't need to" Dude... This guy is possibly the most intelligent man alive.
Oh man, so not even the "remove battery, dry it out and wipe it down with alcohol" method would work. Actually vaporized a part of the circuit during a short.
@@manictiger that usually happens when you try to turn it on or plug it in while it's still wet. If your phone gets wet and you want the biggest chances you can get to save it then you do the following; Do not turn it on. Do not plug it in. Remove the battery immediately if your phone allows it. Set in a warm dry place, preferably in the sun, like a window sill or something. I've saved a couple phones by doing that. My gfs Xbox was completely submerged in a flood so I had her do these things and even to my surprise it booted up a couple weeks later with no issues. Both her controllers and her laptop were ruined though. She had to replace those.
@@klaytonb9609 Thank you for the advice. I saved my original flip phone after it took a short ride in the washing machine by removing the battery and submerging the whole thing in rice. Keep in mind: This only works for fresh water! I later walked into the ocean with my next phone in the pocket of my trunks, and there was no saving that from the salt left behind.
@@donnylurch4207 you're welcome, personally I doubt rice helps at all really. I never used rice I just did the steps I listed whenever I got my phone wet. Like I said though, it's not a guaranteed fix. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It depends on the build quality of the technology in question as well as how quick you are at these steps, as well as if there was an electrical signal sent through it while wet. That'll blow connections if that does happen.
I could absolutely never work in customer service like this. You guys out there working jobs like this are fuckin incredible and I respect that capability in you all.
Rice is very absorbent so the reason it worked for few cases of people phones getting water damage, was because it could have been completely submerged or not, but it was barely in the water for 30 seconds if that, that’s the reason the rice works for those phones, since the water hasn’t had time to get into every circuit and fry every motherboard, this is also the reason restaurants have rice in their salt shakers, to keep the salt dry and to keep the salt from clumping up
fun facf, water itself isnt necessarily damaging to electronics, all the lime, and other minerals in the water that attack and stick to the circuitery is what does it. if you submerge a phone in distilled water and then wait for it to dry out completely before firing it up, itll most likely be just fine.
Well no - rice isn’t particularly absorbent - if you leave your phone out on the counter more water will be absorbed into the air then if you stuff it in a bag of rice. Even desiccants, which are designed to suck water out of things dont absorb more water than the air. Why? Because desiccants/rice suck in water, but the water stays in the rice/desiccant. If you leave your phone out on the table, dry air is constantly blowing over your phone. Its the difference between putting a glass of water in a sealed box with a towel, and constantly wiping it down with new, disposable paper towels
@@sonofsparda657eh, not really. There will be tons of contaminants/salts on the circuit board you’re submerging your electronics in, so while THEORETICALLY you can do that, PRACTICALLY your phone will blow up 999 times out of 1000. But generally, if you let your electronics dry out for a week before turning them on/plugging them in, they’ll be fine, but thats different
only a specific kind of rice is absorbant. you're better off sticking your phone on an air conditioner vent. AC is a big dehumidifier. Rice doesn't necessarily work the way people say it does
I've met guys like this before, they're so convinced that they're in the right that they'll say and do some of the dumbest things. It's pure entitlement.
I work in retail. This is the kind of guy that swears up and down that I messed up his order and how dare I say he's wrong. I show them the P.O. and it's the same as the receipt and he STILL says I'm wrong. I just say "i'm sorry I can't help you then. You can go somewhere else." when I start with the next customer, they just look shocked and mortified. that look brings me joy :)
That’s not entitlement that’s ignorance. Ora combination of both. Maybe he’s an expert on something so he thinks technology fixes are just going to be the same. Black or white no inbetween
Don’t you start treating “entitlement” the same way this guy treats rice. Entitlement has no relevance here any more than rice has relevance to broken phones.
As someone who used to do phone/laptop repairs 99% of the time the rice thing doesn't really work. The amount of laptops I had to replace a part/parts on with rice all over the inside is hilarious. The amount of water that rice would potentially save you from isn't enough water to usually kill whatever you're trying to save if you just got the water off normally and let it dry. Also this type of costumer is insanely common because of how much value people put into their phones and laptops. The amount of "can you move my repair to the front of the line, my phone is my life" me and my co workers heard. Like bro everyone says that.
Just to let everyone know, dont argue with these type of people, walk away and ignore them they like to argue, even when they're wrong they're right it's called narcicism (let the comment below be a lesson on these type of people, where in my original comment did I refer to this cashier, I said " to let everyone know") as I said, some people like to debate and purposely misunderstand you
I used to hate that working in customer service people thinking they’re entitled to be moved to some sort of “priority” because they asked nicely like you don’t see people say some magic words in a mcdonalds drive thru and suddenly cruise past everyone else in line and get their food, you aren’t on your phone with customer service while waiting and ask them to drop whatever they’re doing and instantly tend to you, don’t think it works here and don’t think you’re an exception you’ll be handled when they get to you and those people who come in after the store already closed and begs their way in 🤦🏽♂️ the store isn’t boobytrapped with bombs at night its not gonna blow up overnight just come back tomorrow and let the employees get home safely
@@notaspy1227 It's about what attracts the most attention. If all the bots were spamming "I love blue flowers", nobody would give them attention. But if they spout racist bullshit, some 14 year old blue haired girl will be sure to click on their profile or reply.
After working 8 years in customer service, the amount of times customers have claimed that they will call the cops is more than I can remember. The amount of times they actually did call the cops was twice. Both times the customer got scolded by police for wasting their time.
I didn’t fully piece together how stupid this was until you said that “he did his job and he did it well, and the customer STILL complained and got into an argument with him”
The "white rice hack" got passed around a lot and somewhere it changed from what is true that the dry rice soaks up water off your phone and turned into the legendary all purpose white rice that can repair circuits and connections lol
Pro tip for these situations: turn into a robot and just keep dodging the conversation. All you have to do is keep saying "Yes, how can I assist you further?" or something like that. They'll get mad that you're not arguing with them and eventually they leave or just demand a corporate number

Same here, worked at Best Buy for a little bit, it's amazing how fucking stupid some people make themselves look for a free item. It's a little sad how quickly they sacrifice their dignity for something that won't happen
Yeah, they're like the people who go to checkout at a place like Walmart or Target, and get mad and insist that an item was on sale and harass the cashier to try to get them to reduce the price. Fuck working in retail.
This is like going to a restaurant, ordering the most expensive item on the menu, going back home, and then realize the next day that you could have made food at your house instead of going to a restaurant and then going back to said restaurant to complain.
I'm in IT and while thankfully i never had an issue like that come up i've known other IT guys/repair guys who have. What you do is explain the issue in super detail, being as verbose as possible. If they want to act stupid and disrespectful... make them feel stupid in a professional manner.

I hate people that do this so much, when I worked in fast food we had this woman come in and complain that her food wasn't fresh after she let it sit for like 3 hours, like no shit it isn't fresh you dumb fuck
As a repair tech: this dude is one of literally 1000s of people I've dealt with. As a little fact for yall... rice only works if the water has not gotten into the device itself. Like if you drop it in a very shallow puddle and pick it up right away, where the water doesn't get further than the charge port. Even then it's not 100%. Water damage repairs need actual equipment and knowledge to fix.
This!!! When I see customers who walked into my TMobile store, people who were doing that mostly just got rice all over the innards of the phone and did more harm than good.b
I spilled tap water on a laptop once, and ended up with actual mineral deposits on the mobo lmao. I'm sure white rice would have fixed it though, the guy who took it apart and properly cleaned it definitely scammed me.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure the rice trick only "works" on occasion because it keeps people from using their wet phones and shorting a circuit. The rice doesn't do anything itself (and the little rice particles probably aren't good) but if you're lucky and got your phone turned off in time, it might prevent ya from making anything worse!
Yes and you'd be right but you don't want to be arguing about it with the customer no matter how stupid they are. The object is to make them happy so they come back for repeat business and that they don't go tell ten people about the bad experience they had with you. Because that's exactly what happens - on average customers will tell ten people they had a bad experience with you. And it'll be like ten years later when they retell their bad experience.
there was such a simple response from the worker that i don't understand why it was never asked.. "You told me white rice wouldn't work. I came all the way here for you to fix it and I didn't need to." "Okay, so why did you come down then?"
"This guy looks so familiar..." Yeah, this dude knows everything there is to know about dinosaurs and how to survive them but he doesn't know how phones work
“Im not an expert so Im gonna defer to the guy that is” As a former IT pro turned Dev you might be shocked to learn how many people will come to you for your expertise. Tell you how much they arent a “techie” them proceed to not follow any instructions and tell you all the things that definitely should fix the issue and what 100% caused it.
im the sort of person who tells the hairstylist to just go off because i don't even trust my own opinion on what haircut i want. to be so confident about something that isn't even a matter of personal preference is baffling to me.
The idea is that rice is supposed to act like a desiccant and a'd'sorb moisture from the phone. But there's a big difference between adsorb and absorb, and even if it dries the phone internally, it still doesn't guarantee anything will work. Water is a conductor. If it leaks to the point of shorting out circuits, then arcing happens, things that shouldn't get energized are energized, voltage spikes happen in components that can't handle it, and the result is actual physical damage.
That mocking "exactly" kills me EVERY TIME. As a previous frontline retail worker you see this ALL THE TIME. Someone who's so falsely confident in themselves that they have what we call the "doubter's smile" from a mile away.

Thanks for the kind words to customer service workers, Charlie. Been working a register every day for about 2 years and it really takes a lot out of you, especially if you're not much of a people person, like myself. I'm capable of being friendly and amicable, and I've learned how to not be a pushover, but there's at least a few assholes every day. One of my big takeaways has been, it's amazing the amount of people who treat customer service workers like we're less than human. As if, because I wear a vest and am acting friendly, they can treat me however they want. That sort of thing gets old in a hurry. So many people these days have no respect, not even for themselves, otherwise why treat someone that way? Anyway I'm always grateful to hear you throwing the love our way. I know that since I realized how shitty it is, I've always tried to be as nice and patient as possible to the people behind the counter whenever I'm at a store.
I’m not negating your experience, but my sister has an opposite experience. She has only had trouble once because of a customer (has been working for a year). Then again she is quite sociable
@@User-zx6tt Damn, must be a really good community. My brother works in customer service and tells me how he’s treated like dirt by so many customers, and it’s at a rural gift shop too. Even if he was taking too long getting the change for a customer, they’ll say something mockingly at him like “You done yet?” or one time a customer said something like “Don’t worry, your generation has a horrible education system.”
damn, i just realized, that in Russia it's not the case. If you go to customer service, workers there are usually living aloof from the world and so as their customers. It's more like they're feared to treat workers like shit. Instead we have different problem, many customers are stupid as hell, they're arrogant but anxious, you can't see any invididual, they all are pushovers. So it's more like you can treat them like shit, not the other way around. Hello from Russia with love though!

When the tech guy said "I could tell you the world is flat". I totally expected a guy like Ken to be like, "What are you talking about...the world *IS* flat" And tech guy is like "Ok, this all makes sense now."
The sad fact is that guys like these could actually call the police for it , the police are already too busy with all their cases and they still have to respond to these kind of calls, damn, that is justice for you
And when I call them because my neighbour who literally threatened my life a few days ago has called two friends who parked in front my place and are being super suspicious leaning in their car while the engine is inexplicably turned on for over half an hour... they don't come. I'd need to get murdered first.
And they will probably be warned that if they call the police again about this matter, they will receive a hefty fine and potentially face criminal charges for wasting police officers time. Not saying this stops this in anyway, but it does make a bit of a deterrent and cuts off any continuously abusive behavior.
As someone who works in the Device Repair industry, I've had this type of customer before. I gave them the choice of buying the repair I just did, or I would put their old parts back on their phone and they can go somewhere else to get it "fixed" or "fix" it themselves.
He does have somewhat of a point though, depending on what was originally wrong. I had a friend once who poured water out of an older CRT television, let it dry completely and it worked. I'm guessing he got his phone wet and rice removes moisture so he thought it was an easy fix.
Fellow technician here, I've seen some wild claims of people like the guy in the vid too, it's hilarious to see their face of distraught when you hit them with actual facts and show them and they are just speechless lmao
One of the techs in my group was the tech dealing with this guy and was the one who recorded the videos I’m so happy after all this time to see it being covered by Charlie. We see these types of customers in the repair industry all the time and it will blow your mind how people think the devices work.
I feel like that guy needs to see this video after all the shit he put that guy through, since finding out you've made a dick of yourself on the internet has a way of making people question their choices. Also did he really call the cops or was it a empty threat?

That reminds me of this one story when I worked a phone store. We had a lady come in demanding her phone be fixed or replaced under warranty. The phone wasn't cracked but she said the screen doesn't turn on or work. I saw the red mark on the water tab and asked her what happened with that. She said her phone was frozen and the alarm was going off so she couldn't turn it off. SO SHE PUT THE PHONE IN A TUB OF WATER to muffle. It was a prepaid carrier so the phones we had weren't water resistant and I told her that. She refused to believe the water killed it saying that she put it in rice. I'm a phone nerd so I explained that didn't work and she began to argue with me for 10 minutes before I finally said "lady your at a phone store. Talking to an employee who knows literally every spec on every phone we sell. You can ask other employees to confirm that. I think I know more about your phone than you do since clearly you DUMPED IT IN WATER" she left stating she'll never return and my manager responded with "hope you never do"

As a dutch person this is such a culture shock to me. We would have cut that guy off at the first inkling of this stupid story and would have told him to call the cops as we'll be busy working. Everyone in customer care: You do not need to keep conversation with a rude customer or a customer who keeps repeating the same thing. Stop allowing them to waste your time. Let them return to you as soon as they're capable of treating you like a human being. I've seen too many US customers get what they dont deserve by throwing a tantrum.

As a repair technichian who works on water damged devices every day, PLEASE NEVER put you device in rice. Dust from the rice gets inside the phone, and most of my job is cleaning out the inside of the device so i can see what the problem is. If your phone gets drenched, turn it off immediately, wrap it in a towel and wait. It will do the same as the rice, and if your phone needs to be fixed, its much more likely to happen without dust all througout the phone.

If you have any electronics that get wet, you can use white rice to pull the moisture out. That being said if you leave your phone on or try to use it when its wet, it will fry the electronics. As for what the repair guy is saying, yeah white rice wont fix a dead circuit lol.

Man, I just went through some crap like this a couple hours ago. This man was threatening to go to the news because we were short-staffed and the employee helping him was a little slower at the job. Nowadays people are so entitled, it gets to be exhausting after a bit.
I’ve heard of people asking for managers, threatening to sue, and calling the police on retail workers just trying to do their jobs...but trying to get THE NEWS involved is next level fuckery Imagine being so entitled you throw a temper tantrum and think to yourself “stop the presses and drop the headlines, this is what’s newsworthy”
@@kingimura2430 that's so annoying.. I absolutely hate seeing people be obnoxious and rude especially towards food service. I had this coworker that I use to go out for lunch with, and he would borderline scream in a really rude tone at the person doing the drive thru whenever they accidentally put the wrong item up. Like dude you know it's pretty hard to hear in there right? Such a lack of empathy pisses me off. It's bad enough they have to work this job, don't go out of your way to make it worse for them.
Recently had a customer at my retail job who needed an associate to go to the back to get an air filter. But I told her that our associate for that department is busy with another customer and will get back to us momentarily for assistance. She flipped out, said that she “Doesn’t have all day.” Then proceeded to cut in the customer service line in front of a bunch other people, asking my supervisor to make someone else get the filter. I don’t understand how some people think that their time is worth more than other people’s…
The saddest part is that it isn't even that complex. Rice only works if the phone hasn't gotten wet to the point that the internal components are damaged. If you could fix electronics by just throwing rice on them the repair guy would've just done that and charged you anyway.

When you work in any customer service job, you really get to see how many people have severe emotional problems and trust issues. It's mind numbing the way some people will lash out at a complete stranger who's job it is to help you in some way.
My brother is like that, he experiences problems that are out of anyone's control, and then finds someone to blame. He made an argument with a worker at a phone store I think, probably because his device didn't have good signal for a minute.
Agreed. Literally had someone be like "Yeah I dont believe you" when I explained to them our booking system just because he happened to get in quicker one day because someone cancelled. He thought I was refusing to give him an earlier booking on purpose when he instead just got lucky. People suck.
I would have legit just said to the Customer, Okay sir, if you don't beleive me, then how about you drop your phone in water until it won't turn on, put it in rice, and if it DOES work, you get double your money back.
The whole white rice thing shows how little people know about how lasting short circuit from liquid damage works. Usually it's not the liquid itself that causes lasting damage, it's the mineral sediment that connects routes after water evaporates. Another thing is the immidiate permament damage due to initial short circuit. If it's already burned then obviously no amount of drying the device up will help. Although I believe it might be capable of pulling the moisture out, so if it was clean enough liquid, so basically a water, then if you turned it off fast enough it might help.
There are occasions where the moisture will cause a short and make something break, but once it dries it works fine again. It can be difficult or take a long time to dry the inside of the device and the rice acts like a desiccant to pull the moisture out. You'd be way better off just using an actual desiccant, but yeah it doesn't mean it will fix anything at all.
can confirm. it was pre-smart phone tech, but completely drowned. immediately remove battery and place phone in ziplock bag of rice. place bag in the sun and leave 24 to 48 hours. do not touch during that time, its not like checking if the chicken is done cooking. If there were no short circuit or it didn't directly damage anything on the circuit board, then it will restart. But speed and luck are key factors here as is the general build of the devices internals and what liquid it fell in and how deep.
The best part is that he's doing all of this while proudly admitting that its hearsay and that he has not even witnessed this rice magic for himself. Still, is arguing as if its as certain as death... after just hearing about it that morning. What a guy. A man of action, if nothing else

I love this quote but Dwight got this one wrong. Failing is a lesson in grace and resilience. Not in the context of this video though. This fella is just a failure.
scammers are much more willing to tell people what they want to hear too he'd probably shake the scammers hand, walking away oblivious & with a smile on his face
"Mate, I know you crashed your car so I put some white rice into the engine, it should be all good now. That will be thirty grand" "Oh nice, I hear on the internet that works, thanks!"
"Lets wait till the cops get here." That line always makes me laugh. What is it with Americans thinking that if they ring the cops, their going to win their argument, when 9 times out of 10 they end up getting arrested for wasting police time. So stupid it's painful.
The dumbasses that do it think the wacky shit they do before is justified so why wouldn't they call the cops it doesn't even click in their head that they're crazy
One time I saw American cops shot and kill a man who had called 911 and asked for help because he was suicidal. He had a flairgun pointing to his own head so the cop burst through the door and shot him, no questions asked. I would be terrified involving those uneducated morons in any dispute
As someone who worked in cell phone repair for about a year, I can safely say that putting your phone in rice almost *never* fixes anything. It likely can make things worse. Often times in the cases of putting it in rice and it working means that if you just let it dry out naturally, the same thing would have happened. The water seeps in through the cameras and microphones and the seal around other parts of the phones is very resilient. There is no way that rice will pull moisture out of the phone through the OLED or frame. I cant tell you how many times a customer brought in their phone and stated it sat in rice for x days, I open it up and am able to pour the water out or see that the motherboard, battery, back of the screen, behind the speakers and cameras still have moisture on them. When you drop your phone in water, the best thing to do is take it apart (preferably have a professional do it), and dab dry all of the internal components. You may have to check for signs of corrosion that can potentially damage a number of things such as capacitors, resistors, and filters on the mobo, permanently damage the LCD, or kill the battery cells. Water isn't even the issue, which is a common misconception. Water is not very conductive by itself, it is the particles in the water (minerals and salts). Expediting the drying process without removing those means you allow those to be stuck to the internal components and allow corrosion to occur much more quickly.
all true so true. I worked at a batteries plus bulbs store and we did phone repair on the side. Because of how annoying it is to fix water damage with everything you mentioned (drying the phone perfectly, finding and fixing corrosion) we just turned away water damage and told them of a store near by that could help. To be fair we didn't really care for working on phones even though we were good at it, the margins weren't great and if god forbid anything went wrong we had to buy a new phone that ate up the profits of like many many repairs.
@@TheSucram729 You're probably thinking about deionized water--all the conductive dissolved ions in the water are gone, leaving an electrically insulative liquid. However, DI water would very likely become conductive as soon as it touched dust, dried sweat/skin secretions, and excess solder flux.
@@n-s-a7113 it didn't. Ley it dry out naturally and it will work just as well. The rice did nothing. It isn't possible for it to do anything unless you open the phone and pour rice into it that way.
@@DankTrainTom The only thing you can say the rice does is since the phone is surrounded it's usually elevated and not touching a flat surface which may hinder the draining process.
