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!

Next time, get an alienware. Pretty sturdy things, they are. This is such a mix of YDI and FYL that I can't decide..

Alienware computers are plastic though, and they are some of the most ugly computers I’ve ever seen.

No, they look pretty good (doesn't matter though ), and they're good computers, they're just overpriced as all hell.

My roommate has an alienware desktop, and two of the USB ports on the front don't work or work every once in awhile. I wouldn't say that's very reliable.

Fake! Macbook Air is half that price. And this story is not even good. If your gonna make something up make it decent. You fail.

You usually have anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to buy the insurance...go back, buy it. Wait 2 weeks, send it in.

I'm thinking he said $3500 well spent because he had to purchase another.

Did they remove the version with the Solid State Drive? That one was like 3100, but it seems like OP is referring to paying for two in a row and he's probably just gonna step on the new one. YDI for the air, you can get those guts in a $400 netbook anyways.
