Lift that grate
236
They're literally attached to nothing and there's enough space for an average human to grip them and they're not particularly heavy BUT most people don't know you can just... Lift them

Until the gutter police catch you... don’t say you haven’t been warned!

Gutter police sounds very... Porn.

No it doesn't. What the fuck are you talking about?

Its almost like they're designed that way to unblock debries

I'm not sure about this style specifically but depending the material they can be heavy. A smaller 5" by 20" channel drain top made of cast iron weighs around 12 pounds. That's heavy enough most people will assume it's attached.

Just have a roll of tape on you wherever you go and be lucky enough to have it drop only 1-3 feet at max

Also make sure that tape is sticky enough to strongly grab the phone when lightly laid over it.

15
Nice and dry, and clean too!

I was expecting for the dude to lift the gutter, press the tape on, close the gutter and pull it out... then I realized it wasnt r/unexpected ...

Where is the 'how to' on getting a long piece of tape perfectly vertical and not stick to itself?

Just in time to answer the call

My tape would never stick this well.

Yes, much simpler than lifting the gate

Just as useless as the carrying a watermelon in your pants one

I was fully expecting the phone to get blocked by the gutter slats and the Curb Your Enthusiasm outro.

Will this trick work if I drop my tacos in the gutter?

Will it work for my mind?

I am trying to determine why ‘pick up the grate’ wasn’t ahead of ‘find packing tape, run packing tape into gutter, pull packing tape back out, tear off piece that now has chewed gum, cigarette butt and other things on it, rerun packing tape, cuss because this isn’t working right, finally get lucky, get phone stuck, pull up, phone falls off, try all over again’

If my phone falls into a gutter.... it's gonna stay there

Good thing it wasn’t a windy day.

If the gravity of the tape isn't enough to make it stick, you could stick something else down to rub it on better.

Idk bout yall but the gutters where I live are bottomless holes to the abyss

Step 1: poke with stick for absolutely no reason
Step 2: acquire super sticky tape that immediately sticks strongly to object that it is lightly laid upon.
Step 3: pick up the grate because steps 1 and 2 were ridiculous
Pray that your phone doesn’t get stolen by a grate lifter while you are at the drug store acquiring super sticky tape. Lol
Or that it starts raining.
Pennywise rockin the new iphone
Hahahah step one 😂😂😂
I thought maybe she would use the stick to press the tape onto the phone
What is this a crossover episode?
That chinese doubletape is absolute tool ngl
Bought it on ebay and is even reusable coz is washable
