Today, my drunk uncle threw my brand new iPhone 3GS into my pool, ruining it completely. When I asked him to pay for the 600 dollar replacement cost, he said he wasn't responsible for his drunken actions. All of my family members are on his side. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Today, my dad borrowed my new iPad to amuse him while he was in the shower without my knowledge. The iPad is now completely ruined, and my dad is refusing to buy me a new one. He says, "How was I to know that it wasn't waterproof?" FML
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. FML
Today, my boyfriend threw me into his pool. I had my phone and iPod in my pockets. FML
Today, my drunk sister came in my room at 2 in the morning, sat on the side of my bed, fell off, knocked over my glass of water, which ruined my new phone, then got angry at me for getting angry with her. She then slammed my door, which made all the photo frames smash to the ground. FML
Today, I bought lunch for my grandparents, aunts, and uncles. My uncle apparently felt uncomfortable at the restaurant, because he got up and flipped the table over before leaving. The bill tripled because of the broken glass, and my uncle called me up later for a ride. FML
Today, I got home from a week-long vacation with my friend's family. When I got back home, I found the garage door had been completely demolished. My uncontrollably drunk dad blamed me. I don't even drive. FML
Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML
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
Today, my uncle stole my cousin's phone to take a picture of me. He then sent said picture to my cousin's boyfriend, saying that she'd been cheating on him with me for over a year. He's been cheated on before and is hysterical. My uncle then had the nerve to act all defensive when my cousin and I exploded at him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get drunk and drive his car into the lake. Problem solved, after all you can't take responsibility for your drunken actions.

I wonder if your family would be opposed to you beating your uncle senseless...I'd just chalk it up to not being responsible for your actions when you're enraged

I vote YDI for: 1. spending $600 on a phone. Know what I paid for mine? Nothing. T-Mobile gave it to me for FREE. And guess what? I have a better network than you, too. 2. having your absurdly expensive phone within range of any sizable body of water. Remove the Cell Phone IV from your wrist and join reality for a while. You might have actually gotten a LAUGH out of your drunk uncle, instead of a bullshit FML.

Just because the replacement fee is $600 doesn't mean he payed that much when he first got the phone.

Right. Because Apple just gives away their brand new iPhones with a 2 year contract, when they have people lined up around the mall three days before the reveal to spend that $600.

they do not give them away, but they also do not make you pay $600 if you are also signing a contract.

brand new iphones cost 200 which is cheaper than the sidekicks t-mobile sells.

Have you ever bought a phone? When you first sign up for a contract/have an upgrade the cost of the phone is brought way down, usually to around $100 or free depending on the upgrade. If you need a new phone before your upgrade or you don't have insurance you have to pay the FULL price of the phone, which can easily get up to at least $300, which really isn't worth it for most phones IMO.

Isn't everything cheaper in Puerto Rico? At least I have insurance on my phone. If something happens to it, I get a replacement for just the $90 deductible. (The phone itself is about $600.)

$600 is not right. The phone costs $199, $600 is the unsubsidised price. But Apple will charge you the subsidised $199 price if you water damage your phone.

Or, at least, threaten to press charges if he doesn't pay up the money.

Tell your uncle if he doesn't buy you a new iPhone 3GS, you're taking him to small claims. Then, if he doesn't buy you a new iPhone 3GS, take him to court.

Couldn't you just crack a bottle over the back of his head. I mean there were plenty around I bet. Also, I hate having to go to Puerto Rico.

Don't bring your wife anywhere near your drunk uncle.
