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

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

He wasn't ripped off. If you broke your iPhone, you would have to pay the unsubsidized price to replace it. Which is $600 for his model.

Your uncle is full of shit. Almost all drunks show no remorse for their actions. Personally I'd give him a swift kick in the nuts. But I have the feeling karma will catch up to him someday. He'll probably drive drunk and kill somebody. No court on this planet would accept his excuse. The rest of your family are a bunch of retards, or they just hate you.

YDI for buying a $600 phone and not being able to fix the phone by just simply placing it in some dehydrated rice.

Umm... There's these little thing called "phone insurance" or "warranty." You're sposed to invest in them incase dumb stuff like that happens...

who really expects a drunken relative to throw their phone in the water? its an extra fee per month, some people are good enough with their phone they dont have to worry about it. Retarded drunk people...

AT&T does not insure the Iphone, as well as many of there other high-end phones, so that was not an option.

A phone warranty covers manufacturer defects. They never cover water damage.

Water Damage is usually a good deal more than accidental breaking or theft. seeing as a phone is usually in you pocket/bag or in use it is far less likely to get splashed like a laptop, I personally have insurance on my phone for the other 2 eventualities but didn't pay for water damage. also saying 'you should have bought insurance', insurance is useful but not taking it is not a stupid thing to do. certainly doesn't make it the OP fault if it then gets thrown in a pool

I think you should have thrown him in the pool and said "I am not responsible for my ANGRY ACTIONS BITCH" and just thrown him in (or kicked him in Sparta Style). not gonna lie, if my uncle did that, I would either do that, or steal his wallet while he was passed out drunk... or his car or something, haha. Sorry, $600 to not pay back... makes me want to do something SUPER cynical to him...
