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

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 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!

just purchase a new warranty tell them you decided to go ahead and purchase it, wait two weeks, after you buy it, then call and tell them the bad news, that's what i did. but then again i didn't step on mine. Make sure you know what's covered in that warranty read the fine print have them explain it in detail.

YFDI, you being extra careful, being a stubborn person, took the risk on an expensive, shitty laptop.

YDI for buying a Mac. You can get a $1000 PC that has a faster processor and more memory than any Mac. Windows 7 > Mac OS X anyway.

I almost believed you until I read the last line and realized you were joking. Nice one :D

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the fact that Windows 7 isn't released yet doesn't make it a joke, due to the fact that even in BETA it's a head and shoulders better than OSX. (Then again, I can't think of any Windows release that isn't.) If anything, they've tried to make it TOO much like a Mac (in the manner of arbitrary limitations on the OS' flexibility), but there are fixes for that if you know what you're doing.

No, the 30 day won't cover accidental. And you CAN buy accidental coverage on a laptop, at least from Best Buy.

Mac insurance is crap anyway. they only pay for something if it's their fault. If you had the insurance it wouldn't have done anything anyway. I found this out when I got oil in my mac and I had the insurance. They didn't do shit.
