WASHINGTON - As Ocean City officials prepare for the onslaught of visitors this summer, they're paying special attention to a certain commodity: extra toilets.
The toilets get clogged when people wash their feet and drop their phones in there.
"The big smartphones won't fit down the hole," says Richard Malone, deputy director of Public Works in Ocean City. "But the smaller ones go down there, and you're never going to be able to reach down there and get it back."
It happens all the time, Malone says.
"People inevitably have their cellphones in their shirt pockets or their pant pockets, and they fall out and they go into their toilet," he says.
"You literally have to unbolt the toilet from the floor, remove the toilet, reach down into the trap and pull the cellphone out."
