Today, my friend told me that Otter Box phone cases protect the phone whether it's thrown or just dropped. I disagreed. He then threw his phone across the room into a cement wall to prove it. The phone's screen was completely shattered and now he thinks I owe him a new phone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I figured out that a $40 phone case does not protect your $500 phone from a five year-old throwing it off a fourth story balcony. FML
Today, I was showing my new iPhone case to my friends, saying how it was scratchproof, shockproof, and waterproof. I demonstrated it by dropping it on the sidewalk from about 5 feet. It bounced onto the road. Apparently, its not truck-proof. FML
Today, I bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. 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, at a family gathering, I gave my toddler my phone to get a moment of peace. After assuring my nosy, judgemental aunt and cousin that I wasn't worried about it because I have dropped it myself numerous times over the last two years, and I trusted the OtterBox phone case it was in, my son dropped and broke it. FML
Today, my fancy rubber phone case did its job and saved my phone from damage when I dropped it on the bathroom counter. Unfortunately, it was rather useless after the massive bounce it took before landing in the toilet. FML
Today, I went to give my boyfriend a hug and accidentally knocked his brand new phone out of his hand. The screen was broken. FML
Today, I got a Samsung Galaxy and opened the box to see a cracked screen. I showed the clerk and she said I must have dropped it. I hadn't moved since she handed me the box. FML
Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Buy him a really old flip phone, or perhaps a Nokia and tell him you agree that the Nokia won't break

Well that's idiotic that he thinks you should give him a new phone, he's stupid for thinking that wouldn't crack it, your life sucks Op.

What a moron. "To prove my friend wrong, I threw my cell phone at a solid wall, instead proving myself wrong and shattering it. He refuses to fix the damage I caused. FML."

Dear FML, today I bet my friend that my otter box would protect my phone if thrown. I now need a new phone.

Let him think what he wants. The only way he's getting a new phone is if he gets one himself.

I've abused my otter box. It has never let me down. My phone doesn't have a scratch on it and I've dropped it 20 feet straight down. Tell him get the otter box armor case. He'll never buy another phone again.

He might have a fraction of an argument, if you had been the one saying that wouldn't damage his phone. Since you said the opposite, all you owe him is a smirk and an "I told you so!"
