Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
Today, while walking to work, I accidentally dropped my $400 cell phone on the sidewalk. The screen shattered into a million pieces. A woman passing by looked at the ruined phone and said, "Now that's what you call a dropped call!" She laughed and kept walking. FML
Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. 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, to keep my phone safe while I went on some rides, I took it out of my pocket so I could put it in my bag. Just as I pulled it out, a woman ran into me, knocking my phone to the ground and breaking the screen. FML
Today, I bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. FML
Today, I stepped on the MacBook Air I purchased 4 days ago. The screen snapped in two, and I didn't buy insurance because I promised myself I would be "extra careful." $3500 well spent. FML
Today, I threw my brand new iPhone 4 in the air whilst laying on my bed. It came down, went through my fingers, landed on my balls, then broke on the concrete floor. FML
Today, I helped friends move home, and since we couldn't all fit in their car I took the bus. While waiting, my new phone slipped and crashed on the floor. It now has a cracked screen right between my two overpriced phone protectors. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's why you never take the chance with an iPhone. You can do that with a Nokia, not iphone

I have insurance because I'm electronically impaired. I've used the insurance a lot and it's been beneficial for me. However, to those who can keep nice things, it is a waste of money.

I have seen so many iPhones with cracked screens and owners counting the days for their two year plan to end. If you don't want insurance at least make sure it's in a protective case. :P

The iPhone shattered previous phone expectations, yet Apple can't seem to ensure their groundbreaking technology won't break.

iPhones and their plans are a big waste of money (in my humble opinion). The sales guy didn't deserve to be told this, however. On he other hand, the OP didn't deserve to be laughed at. So at the end of the day it was kind of a party foul on both ends. Oh well. We are all human. Invest in a better phone (and plan) OP.

It's really not a waste. My lock button broke and they got me a new one right away. And that's a common problem so I hear.

My lock button is currently broken and Verizon told me they weren't going to fix it. I took it to Apple to see if there was anything they could do to fix it and they said I would have to buy a new iPhone completely...

Funny, my mom had the old iPhone 3 and drop it in her drink (she was drunk )... Everything was fine expect for the button and Apple replace the button for free. No new phone... Just took it apart and replace the button.

Hmm. Idk why. The Apple store just had me back it up on the iCloud and gave me a new phone.

I was in Blockbuster once and after 7 years of refusing the 25c 'tape protection' fee I finally got it. But only because I accidentally dropped the tape as I was passing it to the cashier. The first words out of my mouth were 'I think I'll take tape protection please'

And this is why I have a Droid. iPhones are too fragile. I've seen the screen shatter the first time someone dropped it. Heck, my friend had an iPhone that mysteriously cracked. She thinks that the heat (It was in her car last summer) made the glass expand or something.

I've seen iPhones break like that, but every one I've ever gotten has been indestructible. I've dropped one off a ledge onto concrete and it was fine, accidentally kicked one at a concert after it fell out of my pocket, had it stepped on, and it just had a small scratch. Maybe I just have good luck with them, though.

There's a reason insurance plans exist, in your case it's to cover your knack to piss of karma and Murphy's law.
