I know the urge is strong. Your battery is at 4%, and you’re sweating. But do not shove that cable in. It’s like trying to put a fork in a toaster while it’s plugged in—bad idea. Just leave the cable alone and focus on the water.
Grab a dry, soft cloth—a microfiber cloth is perfect, but a clean t-shirt works too. Gently wipe the outside of your phone, especially around the port. Don’t stick anything inside yet. Just dab. Think of it as patting a friend on the back after they sneeze. Gentle and reassuring.
