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 love all these iPhone comments. Androids aren't much cheap. Example iPhone 5 $650 galaxy s4 $630 htc one $580 Samsung galaxy note 2 $680. Insurance is a waste. Htc and Samsung give you a one year warranty that doesn't cover cracks but its the same deductible that your carrier is charging. You're just paying them to be a middle man. Apple care is worth getting but paying insurance from your carrier isn't.

That is why I pay 6 dollar extra for insurance on my phone and I don't mind it. I have a 15 month old who takes my phone when I am not looking. Rather be safe then sorry about it later. I think I had drop my phone like 10-20 times already since I got it... No damage so far the last 9 months.

I seem to have issues with all my cell phones but that sucks. hope you can have the screen fixed. I use and android and for the first time ever bought insurance for it and an otter box case (couldn't get the case off when I needed to, then it fell about 6 inches at most on to a carpeted area and the case got a small crack in it) iphone, android, any of them seem to be the most cheaply made phones on the planet and expensive as hell to buy and fix.

Can't be as bad as my co-worker who has managed to crack the front and/or back of her phone at least 5 times within a year.

Its not a waste of money! I work at radioshack and cracked screens are insanely common. I would have laughed too! Don't be rude to someone trying to help you!

Completely wrong... T-mobile charges $175 for full replacement on the iPhone 5 with the insurance plan, even if the phone is stolen. It will not extend your contract at all. Based on the monthly charge it would take you over 5 years before you would spend less on the phone then the insurance. (of course your provider may suck and not have good insurance however)

For an Iphone you ALWAYS get the insurance plan. The screen cracks too easily! YDI
