Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML

Today, I dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML

Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML

Today, my friend told me that Otter Box phone cases protect the phone whether it's thrown or just dropped. I disagreed. He then threw his phone across the room into a cement wall to prove it. The phone's screen was completely shattered and now he thinks I owe him a new phone. FML

Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML

Today, I shattered my iPhone screen. Pieces of glass are chipping out and can easily slice up any idiot who slides their finger across the screen. Unfortunately, I was that idiot. There's blood in the cracks of my screen. FML

FYI if you've never replaced your iPhone due to damage, they'll replace it for free, even if you are out of warranty. I dropped mine a week ago and they replaced it for me for free. The girl at genius bar said it's a 'get out of jail free' card. I now have an Otterbox impact case. ;)

Where did you drop your iPhone that it shattered? I've dropped mine while riding a bike at 25 mph, and it simply had a few scratches. It may have been the angle I dropped it at, which allowed it to not break, but iPhones aren't that weak..

OP must have dropped it off the roof. I've never had ANY phone including my iPhone break when dropped from standing height.

the iPhone is awesome but the warranty sucks. if you yell at them in the store in front of everyone they'll give you a new one. I've gotten 3 that way

I don't think they dropped their iPhone I think it was the Otter box that broke.

It is referring to iPhone in the sentence. While they were holding their iPhone, IT dropped and broke.

that is a good point, I mean they subj was the iPhone, but an unassembled otterbox is fragile... either way, YDI for being a clumsy mofo.

before I got my iPhone, I had an otterbox for my blackberry storm and I dropped it and it shattered, I'd give otterbox a call, they might replace your phone for you

Today, my wedding limo driver got high and forgot to pick us up, so the photographers gave us a ride back to the venue from the photo shoot. Three bridesmaids, a flower girl, and I, in my full wedding dress, had to fit in the back of the 1997 Toyota Camry. FML

Today, I was babysitting this 12 year old. We were watching a movie, and he was being an angel just laying with his head in my lap. He fell asleep so I closed my eyes and had a little nap. When I woke up he had taken my shirt off and was feeling up my boobs. FML
