Are you up for the challenge? Twitter users take up the challenge of dangling their phones over the sides of tall buildings, between elevator shaft gaps, or lowered into sewer grates. While some succeed, others fail miserably and end up without a phone, or one that is completely crushed.
#ExtremePhonePinching — Twitter users use this hashtag to showcase their extreme phone pinching, following a Vine video that went viral of members of the band Twenty One Pilots attempting to play the risky game of phone pinching.
