    When I dropped my pixel 5a the screen looked like a TV in a horror film. Were they lying for warranty purposes? Otherwise I can’t see a reason not to tell a repair shop what actually happened.

      A lot of the times it would be to replace screens under warranty. On multiple occasions we would get “I went to bed with it on my nightstand and when I woke up the screen was shattered” When the phone had been clearly dropped. I’m glad I got out of that business when I did. The constant mental burden of people blaming you for their phone not working was unbearable.

        I got blackout drunk one night and the next morning my pixel 6a screen wouldn’t respond, just black. Powered on and rang, alarm went off for an hour, print scanner, all worked, no screen. Not even a mark to indicate what I’d done. Felt bad swapping it but I genuinely have no clue what happened. Thanks for coming to my TED talk
