Gotcha good

Today, my family and I were celebrating my dad's birthday. The two of us were standing by the pool chatting, and I jokingly said "You're old now." I suppose I should have expected him to shove me into the pool, my phone still in hand, and retort, "You're soaked now." FML

The real FML is that OP couldn't swim, and with his phone now soaked he was unable to call for help.

I can't decide if this is a FYL or a YDI. How old is your dad?

How is anyone giving this anything but a YDI.

Because generally saying something in jest to your father shouldn't result in him doing something so thoughtless and your phone being destroyed. Could you imagine the reaction if this was an FML about a kid that thought he was being unfairly punished for pushing his father in the pool as a joke, and accidentally ruining HIS phone? What would you vote then??

you had your phone in your hand.. chances are pretty big that you can still save it if you kept it above the water. Phones don't like water, but they're not destroyed by the tiniest drop of it

No one ever feels old...hope your phone survived...

YDI. Insulting someone, in jest or in ernest, while standing by a pool is just asking to be thrown in.

And that's when you make him get you a new phone
