hahah that's about the sum of it. Never keep your phone in your shirt pocket when changing your oil. This is bugging me, maybe it was a 10 Pro? I haven't thought about it since I retired it from use. It was an iPhone 8 Plus

Don't keep your phone in your shirt pocket, period. Most shirt pockets won't securely hold a US dime let alone today's 4 pound, 8 inch long smart phones.
