Today, I figured out that a $40 phone case does not protect your $500 phone from a five year-old throwing it off a fourth story balcony. FML

Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML

Today, I bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. 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 bought a new phone. It's shock proof, water proof, you name it. Just not kitten proof, it seems. That's $400 down the drain. FML

Today, my fancy rubber phone case did its job and saved my phone from damage when I dropped it on the bathroom counter. Unfortunately, it was rather useless after the massive bounce it took before landing in the toilet. FML

Today, I was showing my new iPhone case to my friends, saying how it was scratchproof, shockproof, and waterproof. I demonstrated it by dropping it on the sidewalk from about 5 feet. It bounced onto the road. Apparently, its not truck-proof. 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, I dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML

Today, I found out that the little bumps on the child seats in the Wal-Mart shopping carts are spaced just enough that they can crack my brand new phone's screen past its screen protector in two places. FML

Today, I realized that with all the money I've spent on repairs for my iPhone through the months, I could have bought a phone that doesn't die horribly whenever I so much as give it a mean look. FML

How about this? Pay more attention to your child than your phone so that they don't resent it for taking you away from them!

wtf ? why are people saying he deserves it ?! no he doesnt . people are saying that he shouldnt have bought a 500$ phonee . well look at phone prices . there no less than 100 $ w|o a phone plan ! 500$ isnt so bad espicially if he bouqhtt an iphonee . and maby he didnt even pay the actuall retail pricee . maby 500$ is what its WORTH . and even so maby he needs it for his job ! phones these days can do ALOT of things . iphones & BB ( im a BB userr (: ) has alot of help full apps . also they help you communicate w| people . and so what if he bought a 40 $ case . thats good , that shows hes really protective and trys to be carfull with his stuff :P and he cant put a camera on his kid and follow him around all day ! he cant put him in a collar & leash . he watches him as closesly as he can. one day he let him out of his sight andd the kid broke his phone "/ kids are kids and it happens . BUT HE DOESNT DESERVE IT YOU ASS HOLES >;O ;]
