Today, a few weeks after teaching my dog to fetch my phone and drop it in my lap, he decided to do it spontaneously. Too bad I was in the bath at the time. There goes a $300 phone. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my dog thought it would be a good idea to use my phone as a chew toy. FML
Today, I was playing music from my phone, which was on the couch. I guess my dog got jealous, because she picked it up and ran over to the toilet, promptly dropping it right in. FML
Today, I was excited to teach my new puppy how to fetch. I threw the stick, and he just stared at it, then stared back at me with his tongue lolling out, as if to say, "You threw it. You go get it." I’ve now spent the past 30 minutes fetching my own stick, hoping he'd join in. Nope. FML
Today, I took my dog for a walk down by the river. I was throwing sticks for him with one hand and talking on the phone with the other. Then I accidentally threw my phone in the river instead of the stick and was standing there talking to the stick while my phone sat at the bottom of the river. FML
Today, I thought it would be cute to teach my dog a new trick in which I throw and then he brings me back a rolled up newspaper. He disappeared after it, then successfully returned with what turned out to be my neighbor's dirty boxer shorts. Apparently, my dog has a different definition of "fetch." FML
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 fell in a river with a £700 camera, a £200 lens, and an iPhone while trying to rescue a 50 pence ball for my dog. FML
Today, my youngest decided my phone needed a bath in the toilet. FML
Today, I was walking my dog through a park with a lake. My dog was swimming in said lake, and then appeared to be having trouble keeping his head up. I put my phone and keys on the ground and waded to my dog. He was fine, but I turned around in time to see someone run off with my stuff. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Then...why did you train a dog to pick up a $300 phone in his mouth full of sharp teeth in the first place? Surely that was an accident waiting to happen, bath or not.

Just because you can lead a dog to water doesn't mean we can make him drink and if he does then clearly have to expect that he will drop whats in his mouth in order to have that drink

Very impressive training but dogs should fetch sticks and balls, not phones.

I agree with #10. Hopefully you didn't scold him for doing something he didn't know was bad. He was just doing what you trained him to do. Maybe just train him to drop it near arm's reach.

Dude it's an iPhone not an iBone The The dog shouldn't be picking it up

Yeah bad idea to train a dog to put something like that in his mouth. Not only could he chew it up, the saliva could ruin it too. Your fault all the way.

The rice trick does work. Take the battery out, put the phone and battery in dry rice. leave for a few days. I dropped my phone in water a few times and saved it like this.
