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

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

Most of you people piss me off..."YDI for having a $600 dollar phone" no he don't, maybe it was a gift, maybe it was for work, maybe he just felt like spending some of his own hard earned money on himself as a treat. And then there's "YDI for leaving it unattended with your family" they are his family you freakin idiots...Maybe all of your families steal all of your shit, but not everyones does, I feel comfortable leaving my stuff around my family, and until something like this happens, I will do. If you break his shit, you will get arrested, revenge is not a good defence in any court, best thing you can do, is try and talk to him about it, and if he still refuses to pay up, talk to the police.

Alienating your family is going to cost you far more than $600 in the long run, unless you are from a family of hill-billies, as are apparently a lot of commenters on this thread, who think there is something inappropriate about a $600 piece of technology. Suck it up. Move on.

Really? Would you just suck it up and move on if somebody ruined something of yours that you spent your hard-earned money on? If this family is siding with his uncle on this, they aren't worth keeping a relationship with. This guy should not just "suck it up and move on"! If he does that, he'll allow his family to walk all over him in the future. Don't listen to this guy, OP! Fight for your right to your possessions!

Fighting over a $600 piece of metal and plastic is more important than preserving family relationships? Families fights can take decades to overcome. Meanwhile you may have lost access to your best potential investors, business leads, social contacts, etc. Sure the uncle is an ass, and you should tell him that he needs to treat his alcholism. But invest in your own future by rising above it and setting a better example. If it was some random drunk asshole at a party I would be first in line at the small claims court myself.

Gee, another broken iPhone on FML. Funny how those things are so prone to getting run over, dropped in toilets, thrown into water...
