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

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 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 bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. FML

The blame game

Today, my brother got mad at me for breaking the screen on his phone. He'd already dropped it so many times that the whole screen was cracked to the point that you couldn't see anything on it, but for some reason, I am fully responsible for its destruction because I accidentally delivered the finishing blow.

Today, at a family gathering, I gave my toddler my phone to get a moment of peace. After assuring my nosy, judgemental aunt and cousin that I wasn't worried about it because I have dropped it myself numerous times over the last two years, and I trusted the OtterBox phone case it was in, my son dropped and broke it.

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 went to give my boyfriend a hug and accidentally knocked his brand new phone out of his hand. The screen was broken. FML

Today, I got a Samsung Galaxy and opened the box to see a cracked screen. I showed the clerk and she said I must have dropped it. I hadn't moved since she handed me the box. FML

A tale as old as… well, 2007?

Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML

Buy him a really old flip phone, or perhaps a Nokia and tell him you agree that the Nokia won't break

My sister did that, except she told her friend to throw it.

If you buy him a new phone you're dumb and I hate you. Destroy this friendship if you have to I do not allow you to give in

uh, no, you don't own him a new phone. you didn't tell him to throw it - he did it of his volition. He has to pay for it himself. p.s. your friend shouldn't have a nice phone if he's that stupid to throw it at a cement wall.

The otter boxes are great just not against cement because I've thrown my phone at a wall and it was perfectly fine

Hey guys! OP here! Thanks for all the comments and feedback on my first ever published FML. But yeah, we were kinda arguing between which is better: my Survivor case or his Otter Box. After the screen had completely shattered, he said "You started the argument, you owe me a new phone..." He ain't getting a phone outta me. Lol! ?

Your friend sounds idiotic and self-entitled. I would tell him off and if he pushes the matter, end the friendship. He can't even own up to his own mistake. You don't need a "friend" like that.
