| Earbuds falling into a fry cooker. |
Things not to do in 2026.
If you lose your Airpods, Samsung Buds or Skullcandy earbuds, just replace them. Do not try to retrieve them in a dangerous working environment.
A Martins Ferry, Ohio employee was too distracted. Her earbud fell into a hot oil dispenser and she literally reached inside to retrieve it.
She ended up suffering severe burns on her hand. She was rushed to WVU Medicine in Wheeling.
It could be a termination or a just an unfortunate incident, but trust me, I bet she won't do that again.
This happened on Tuesday and the local junk food media for the Wheeling metro area have no other information at the time.
If an earbud gets into grease, first power it down immediately and gently wipe off the surface with a dry cloth to remove as much grease as possible, then use a slightly alcohol-dampened cotton swab (avoiding mesh) for the exterior, and for the speaker mesh, use a dry brush or swab to dislodge it, or try soaking removable tips in soapy water; for serious internal grease, absorbent materials like kitty litter or baby powder can help draw it out over time.
- Wipe Exterior: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe off visible grease.
- Alcohol/Wipe: Use a slightly damp cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol or an alcohol wipe on the hard plastic parts, avoiding the speaker mesh.
- Dry Completely: Let it air dry thoroughly.
You can't fix stupid.

Can we get the Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?
