Today, my phone died. I plugged it in to charge and then went out to run some errands. When I returned, my phone was no where to be found, and our shovel was on the floor, muddy and wet. I then discovered my 6-year old son had buried my "dead" 200$ palmpilot because he had felt sorry for me. FML

Today, my car got stuck in a foot of snow. I tried desperately digging around my wheels to see if it would help. I was finally able to get out 10 minutes later only to realize that I had dropped my phone in the snow while I was digging and had run over it. FML

Today, after dropping my phone in the toilet, I left it dismantled outside in my backyard to dry hoping it could be saved. I forgot about the phone as well as the sprinklers that were scheduled to go off. FML

Today, my son texted me that he couldn't find his phone, so I went to go help him look for it. FML

Today, I left my phone outside on the grass while I went inside to get a drink. I didn't expect my dad to run over it with the lawn mower. FML

Today, while out hiking, my phone slipped out of my pocket. I caught it and gave it to my little cousin, giving her a "special mission" to keep it safe. When we got back to our cars later, I asked her for my phone back. Turns out she left it under a shrub back in the hills so it'd be "safe." FML

Today, I went shopping with my parents. Halfway through, I got separated from them and tried to call them only to find out my cell phone battery was flat. A few minutes later, an announcement was made for a lost child. It was by my parents. I'm 36. FML

Today, my 4 year-old son got a hole in his head from doing a twirl jump off bricks out the back. After being in hospital for 8 hours, my car battery was flat from me leaving the lights on. My husband went to get a new battery and lost his wallet. FML

Today, I found my dead phone that had been missing for two weeks. I turned it on to see that I had only gotten 2 text messages during the two weeks. They were both from my mother. FML

I would be sooo pissed. Especially since it's hard to be mad at your kid since he was trying to help.

Uh... why was no one watching him? YDI if you left a 6 year old home alone.

I do. :P Their smartphones are actually fairly decent, especially for the price. Replacement costs aren't bad either; in the event that you actually manage to break one (I've had their devices run over by cars and still work fine) you can get them for well under the normal replacement cost either through insurance or eBay (to the point that my $400 phone is only $100 to replace). They're cheap, durable, and if you don't like the OS, there's plenty of third party programs out there to change it around and make it work the way you want it to.

I dont understand why everyone is jumping to conclusions. The FML never said the kid was alone.

If I'm not mistaken, by "Palm Pilot" he means the new Palm Pre, which came out June 6 and is $200. This is probably not an old Palm Pilot, and if it is, just a great excuse to get the Palm Pre ;-).
