Idiotic, but ALIVE.
See, as someone who likes Pokemon, Pokemon Go isn't that big a deal to me. All the same, I do have the app and would like to hatch my eggs... only I rarely get an opportunity to walk with the app open since most of my walking is for my job. I saw this YouTube video where a guy was saying that if you tape your phone to your ceiling fan, and turn it on to a slow speed, the phone thinks you're walking and it works towards hatching your eggs. He warns his viewers to be careful in doing such a thing as it could be dangerous. The fan in my room already sounds like it's about to fall off the roof if I run it. I was afraid this would go badly if I tried it. So what did I do? I got some masking tape and taped my phone to the fan blade and turned it on. Immediately my phone flew off, knocked over a knick knack of mine, ricocheted and ended up behind my bed. Said knick knack is plastic and is fine. I set it back up, and then had to move a little cabinet that's next to my bed so I could pull my bed out and retrieve my phone, which also was thankfully unharmed. Then as I was typing this a cave cricket came at me and out the corner of my eye it looked like a spider and startled me.
Yep. Lol.

I'm glad your phone survived! 

Hopefully it'll get easier now.
