Today, I discovered that the reason the phone I've had for a year takes such terrible and cloudy pictures is because I never took the plastic coating off the lens. FML

Yeah haha I did feel pretty silly. My phone is one of those old ones that you flip open and it has a keyboard, so to my memory the inner screen didn't have a protector. The one over the camera was very flush to the lens so it didn't bubble or anything and looked perfectly normal, I thought it was just a shit camera since it was an old model of phone. I wouldn't have found it if my nail hadn't caught the corner when I was putting it in my pocket and pulled it up some. The worst part was as #3 said, since it was actually my birthday party and my boyfriend and all my family were there to witness the look of stunned realization on my face, followed by my announcement that I was, in fact, an idiot. Oh well, at least I have a decent camera now!

I find that there's nothing more satisfying than pulling the plastic off the glass for the first time! YDI For not doing that immediately OP haha.

You didn't once think to clean the lense and realize there was plastic on it?

Everyone who read this FML just checked their phone camera for plastic coverings.

I really wish I'd read this had been up two days ago when my dad got his new phone. Leaving that film would have been fun for me, since I took all the plastic off.
