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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

This. So much this. Or do something equally destructive to something valuable of theirs. Even if he's an alcoholic, that still doesn't excuse him for showing no respect towards other people's property. It may be a dick move on the OP's part to retaliate in such a way, but it'll be a rude wake up call to those assholes that enable such asinine behaviour by excusing his actions just because he's drunk.

Who the **** pays 600$ for a phone!? My last computer cost 300 and I bet it has more kick than that "phone" Ok it doesn't have that much of portability but who would really want to watch movies from 3" screen when the alternative is 75"? Or is the music from ear plugs really that much greater compared to 50 $ device (Yup we can buy cheap multimedia phones here in Europe...)? Oh the 3G - U really cannot wait for updating your myspace or facebook status..., just get some real life...

*facepalm* That's. Not. The. POINT! Is it really relevant to talk about his spending? I believe the focus is on the uncle's actions.

I guaran-damn-tee you that this FML wouldn't exist if the OP owned a more reasonably priced phone. It would be more like "Today, my drunk uncle dropped my phone in the pool, so I got on the AT&T website and got the free upgrade I was due anyway. MLIA"

Better yet, get drunk and throw his TV in the pool. You're not responsable for your drunken actions right?

Re pressing charges or suing wouldn't advise either... it's not very practical in a family setting, and leads to ill-feeling. Destruction of his property will make you look childish. Also from experience, I know how difficult to get get drunks to understand that their right to get drunk and "have a good time" does not trump other's rights to have their stuff left intact. I would simply take something you want of his of equal value and keep it. If he or anybody else notices just say "Well, he destroyed my phone" and refuse to give it back assuming you can enforce this.

Bottom line- they are your family. Yeah, this decision to support the drunken antics of your uncle sucks, but I mean, I'm guessing you have known them long enough to know that this is exactly how they react to these situations. I don't think you should be surprised. As for the phone, aren't there insurance packages that cover water damage? I mean, if you are going to unload 600 bucks for the phone, why not unload the cost to pay for the ultra good insurance too? I still say, though, FYL.

And how does he gets his hands on your Iphone? Or you gave it to him, which is stupid, or you have let it lie around somewhere, which is stupid. YDI
