Today, I stepped on the MacBook Air I purchased 4 days ago. The screen snapped in two, and I didn't buy insurance because I promised myself I would be "extra careful." $3500 well spent. FML

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 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

Bye gifts

Today, it seemed like a great day. Right up until the point to where I accidentally damaged a friend's MacBook Pro. Not only do I have to pay for it, but the only way I'll be able to afford it is by returning every single Christmas gift I get. FML

Today, while mopping the kitchen, I ended up slipping and and knocked over the table that had my mom’s iPad on it. The screen shattered; I sprained my wrist. I asked my mom to take me to the ER. She called me "selfish" because her iPad screen repair would "cost more." FML

Today, I was feeling pretty proud of myself for building an Ikea shelf/dresser combo completely by myself. When going to put the last drawer together, I dropped one of the boards. The corner landed perfectly in the middle of my phone screen, shattering it. It's going to cost $230 to fix it. FML

Today, right after I finished writing a very important paper and saved it to my hard drive, my barely 2-year-old Macbook decided to completely stop functioning. I went to the Apple store and even they can't get it to turn on. That's $1500 down the drain along with my grade. FML

Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML

Today, I got a new laptop for Christmas. The picture on the box showed a woman balancing it on one finger to show how light it was, so I tried it myself. I dropped my laptop, breaking the hard drive and putting a massive crack down the screen. 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

Today, I spilled some milk on my laptop. I was pretty sure it would be fine as it was only a bit of milk. While cleaning the residue, I knocked a whole bucket of water into the insides of the laptop. RIP Macbook. FML

How can you step on your macbook if you are "extra carefull"??? Putting it on the floor, or maybe you did dance on the table?, isn't carefull at all!

YDI for buying a macbook air, they're overpriced pieces of shit. even if you hadn't stepped on it its still a huge waste of 3500. i mean at least with legit macbooks they're good computers even if they are still ridiculously overpriced.

YDI cause you shouldn't do anything risky with a 3.5k laptop.

I see a lot of YDI. There should be no YDI because even if he GOT the insurance, it would not have been able to cover this. I love Mac and will always buy from them, but I will add that they have the worst insurance plans. If something brakes because of your accident, your screwed. If your friend brakes it, your screwed. If there is an act of god (I.E. rain, snow or some other such weather condition that caused harm) your screwed. The only way your Mac is covered is if (one big if here) the Mac product stopped working on it's own accord. Thats it. Otherwise your screwed.

Do you always keep $3500 electronics on the floor? YDI for being a complete retard and leaving something expensive and breakable on the god damned floor like a god damned child.

Actually, it does. I have a friend who did something similar once; she was using her laptop sitting in bed, leant over the edge to grab something off her bedside table and slipped; the laptop fell off the bed onto the floor and she fell off the bed on top of it. (Or something like that; either way, she did something that caused the laptop to fall on the floor and she fell/stepped on it). Insurance covered it.
