Ask a person what scares them most and you most likely get a mix of answers with "death" "failure" and "dying alone" being overly popular. Although all of those are things I fear, my biggest fear is breaking my phone in anyway. Stupid fear? Very much so. Relevant fear? Even more so. My phone is everything-connection to friends, connection to family, connection to the people who pay me to babysit, distraction when I'm worried or bored, directions to anywhere I go-everything. So when it breaks, along breaks my entire life. I have been through, with much embarrassment, 11 phones, and am very thankful for phone insurance, because even with a gun to their heads, my parents would never dare to buy me that many phones.
I have an issue with dropping things, and trust me, I wish I could tell you why. Walking down the hall somehow my phone just flies out of my hand or even better I manage to drop it while opening the door to my car and with that 3 iPhones have ended up shattered in the trash and I have been left searching for when my next update is and attempting to find a friend with an old one.  And in the process of the search, there I am, missing communication and directions and jobs. So although death and what not are scary thoughts-in the current time period without a working phone I would feel dead.
