Today, I was at a pool party with some friends. They grabbed and lifted me in the air, about to throw me in the pool. My iPhone was in my pocket, so I screamed "MY PHONE!" They paused so I could gently throw it onto a deck chair. It bounced, hit the concrete, and cracked its screen. FML

Fixable for $30. Not really FML worthy.

Who are you to dictate what is FML worthy or not? Obviously it is because people voted for it and the mods approved it. You're the one who is not FML worthy.

hey your phone is probably jealous of you op!!! at least u didnt bounce across the concrete right?

My Otterbox has saved my iPhone countless times!! If you are going to get an expensive and/or fragile phone - protect it!!

So much for gently throwing it :/

Otterboxes sound really cool!!!

Otterboxes are fat, bulky peices of shit. Just don't be so stupid with your stuff and things like this wouldn't happen. Let the thumbs down begin!

Screens can be fixed. Waterlogged circuits can't. Crybaby

totally agree with u 41!!!! I have an otterbox and it has also saved my iPhone a number of times!! it's also purple and not that unattractive. it also helps to have a screen protector.

Damn it #2! I was gunna say that!!! XD

I might be wrong but most pools I've been to have grass around the deck... I always throw my phone over the rails and into the grass...

108- It may have been a public pool. I went to a couple of outdoor parties at public pools. not everyone can afford a nice pool and deck( not meant offensively ).

At least you have some good friends, otger friends could care less and throw you in the pool anyways.

67 I'm not sure how but I know a guy who can fix phones that have been dropped in water he said something about scraping off the corrosion

Otter box is the most reliable phone cover/weapon

That's what I did with my htc got a casemate for it

You got idiot childish friends

my husbands 3GS has survived countless accidents. my iPhone 4... screen cracked falling off a night stand onto carpet.

You're at a pool party. Why is your phone in your pocket? @_@

why do you always have to throw your phone...

You call them and they tell you to call during their hours of Otteration. Even if you did.

2. I agree. My otterbox has saved my phone many times including a 10 foot drop onto a concrete hangar floor. No damage at all including the box itself. Never leave home without it.

Otter boxes can be bad for your phone too. Well the ones that are supposed to "seal" out moisture. The seal doesn't always work, and when any moisture gets past the seal, it stays in the phone causing damage

I love my otter box. Yes it makes the phone bulky but it has deffinately saved my phone. My father ran his over with his Buick by accident, had absolutely no damage to it.

Otterbox cases don't always work ya know

but...broken phone with voided warranty or cracked screen? consider yourself lucky mate that happened to me and i had to pay £70 to get it fixed.

or you could've just bought a case for it...

I really don't like the iPhone screens sometimes...I dropped mine like a foot and it now looks like a spider got in my phone and built a web across the screen...

87- yes called spider webbed

When you get a $400 dollar phone, buy a case for it stupid.

Nice Friends to give you the time to do that

that's hardly an FML. I've been thrown in with my phone, even when asking to let me throw it out. twice

Agreed since insurance will cover a cracked phone and not water damage...unless you don't have issuance but then you can sell the broken one and buy a new one and still have money left over. They did you a favor.

...your comment "cracked" me up -that's how it's done.

kinda makes sense if u think about it...OPs phone got spider webbed and spider webs are sticky so it's kinda a sticky situation.

alisakittykat 0

kinda is a sticky situation because her iPhone bounced off something, a ball is bouncy, some balls are made of plastic, glue bottles are plastic, glue is sticky and now I'm just waiting for that idiot to think I'm actually on his side :P

mr_inkredible 0

actually, 129, I still think it makes no sense

Xx_Dakota_xX 1

I also Agree with u but u just got to go deep in thought over this xD

Well would you rather replace a cracked screen or the whole phone for water damage?

"They paused so I could gently throw my phone" must been really gentle for it to bounce and crack.
