Today, I got my phone back after bringing it in to get a crack in the screen repaired. The crack is fixed, but now the touch screen doesn't work and it won't connect to the Internet. I essentially paid to have my phone broken even more. FML

Today, I stood in line for one hour to get a new phone. It then took me 2 minutes to drop it and shatter the screen, and 2 seconds for the employee to look at, laugh, and tell me, "That Sucks." FML

Today, I used a prank app, where you shake the cell, and it makes the screen looks cracked. I ended up losing my grip on the phone. It went flying, and it is now cracked for real. FML

Today, my phone stopped charging. I panicked because I can't really afford to get it fixed, and it's too stressful a time at my last semester at university to not have a phone. I took it to the repair shop, and the man turned it off and on again. it works perfectly. I'm a total idiot. 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, after being told my cellphone was under warranty and would be repaired for free, Samsung received my device, changed their minds, and charged me $636.96 to return my device to me. That's more than the device costs new at this point. 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

Today, Dell's tech support called to tell me that the laptop I sent to them was going to cost an extra $300 to fix, because of the shattered screen. When I mailed my laptop to them, the touchpad wasn't working. The screen was fine. FML

Yeah, that's definitely not okay. Go back and make them fix it again-- correctly this time

some places don't take liability and say if they make it worse you're SOL. happened to me

you got scammed. Unless you signed something they are liable. You paid for a service and if they don't deliver you can hold them legaly accountable. I'm no lawyer so please correct me if I'm wrong.

idk where you live but here you should be guaranteed either a refund or them fixing it properly whatever you want really because they've changed it from a minor to a major failure on the phone. if you go back and they don't fix it they would be braking the law (at least here, Soz I'm not sure where you are ir what the law is there)

Wow, at a time when phone security is a national issue, you've gotten your phone… uh, encrypted as a bonus. How generous.

That happened to me, except it wouldn't even turn on... And they said because I signed a contract there was nothing I could do. So we took it to another place and they said that there was internal damage from it being dropped and the screen was cracked and all of the inside stuff was a jumbled mess.
