Today, my phone died. I plugged it in to charge and then went out to run some errands. When I returned, my phone was no where to be found, and our shovel was on the floor, muddy and wet. I then discovered my 6-year old son had buried my "dead" 200$ palmpilot because he had felt sorry for me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my phone went missing. My 8-year-old son took it to school and sold it for $10. FML
Today, the snowblower found my lost phone. FML
Today, my car got stuck in a foot of snow. I tried desperately digging around my wheels to see if it would help. I was finally able to get out 10 minutes later only to realize that I had dropped my phone in the snow while I was digging and had run over it. FML
Today, after dropping my phone in the toilet, I left it dismantled outside in my backyard to dry hoping it could be saved. I forgot about the phone as well as the sprinklers that were scheduled to go off. FML
Today, my son texted me that he couldn't find his phone, so I went to go help him look for it. FML
Today, I left my phone outside on the grass while I went inside to get a drink. I didn't expect my dad to run over it with the lawn mower. FML
Today, while out hiking, my phone slipped out of my pocket. I caught it and gave it to my little cousin, giving her a "special mission" to keep it safe. When we got back to our cars later, I asked her for my phone back. Turns out she left it under a shrub back in the hills so it'd be "safe." FML
Today, I went shopping with my parents. Halfway through, I got separated from them and tried to call them only to find out my cell phone battery was flat. A few minutes later, an announcement was made for a lost child. It was by my parents. I'm 36. FML
Today, I have been trying to keep up on chores. I washed all of the blankets in the house, then had to pick up my son from school. I couldn't find my phone before leaving though. When we returned, we found out where it was. The washer. It's not coming back from this. FML
Today, my 4 year-old son got a hole in his head from doing a twirl jump off bricks out the back. After being in hospital for 8 hours, my car battery was flat from me leaving the lights on. My husband went to get a new battery and lost his wallet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I would be sooo pissed. Especially since it's hard to be mad at your kid since he was trying to help.

LMAO!!! I think all of you are reading this comment wrong... I'm hearing a kind of dead pan quality about it, thereby making this comment HILARIOUS to me... I think #1 just has a very interesting sense of humor... something like Paul Mooney or Chris Rock...

You spelled "retarded" wrong, you "retarted idiot". I wasn't beaten as a child, and I'd like to think I'm not a "retarted idiot".

what does that have anything to do with it?

Yeah, because a 6-year-old has the money to pay for it. Idiot. People like you and #63 (and others that are talking along the same lines), I sure hope you don't have kids... or the would be abused kids. You seem to have no understanding of children... you know that at that age, you probably didn't have the sense to know the difference. Seriously, idiots.

haha #1 is an epic win. I don't condone it, but that's just an awesome comment

hate to tell all you antispanking people, it did wonders for me to get whipped, I turned out fine and I got several good whipings for being a jackass. as a matter of fact I actually have done quite well for myself and credit it to some real punishment besides that timeout bullshit. I now work as law enforcement and that I contribute to true punishment, it helped me keep my record clean knowing that the concequences to my actions are serious.

I highly doubt a 6 year old can dig a hole

Uhhh.... I think a 6 year old would know that it is just an expression... But sorry for your loss...of that phone!
maggy_fml 0
most wouldn't. since they don't own cell phones and palm pilots lol. i have a few 6 year old cousins. they don't know cell phone/hand held expressions because they don't own one
GriefBacon 0
I have a six year old and he certainly wouldn't understand that expression. I don't think he would bury my phone either, however, but then again he also understands the difference between a living, breathing thing and say....a palm pilot.

When I was 6 I was out repairing my broken ps1 with a solder. Kids are thick as shit now.

This makes little sense. You get madder when you can't be mad at your kid?
Helldemon 32
Makes sense to me, they can't yell/get mad at their kid so they have no one to vent that frustration at which makes it worse.

what, you left your son alone. who was watching him?!
Kozzy333 0
Kids don't need to be watched 24/7. He can go around the house without having someone helicoptering over him.
your_face 15
True... in which case, you should get mad at the "supervisor" for not doing a very good job, not the 6-year-old for making a mistake.
Melodious 0
It's still not the best idea to leave a child that age home alone. Of course, this is something to suspect in a society gone haywire.
luckyyyy 0
his father is probably there just not watching the kid
Kozzy333 0
I'm sure his father was home, just not right where he was. Edit- Nevermind, I clearly didn't read the FML very well. Maybe someone was "watching" him while he was out running erands. Or maybe he just had to run to the store or something. I'm sure most 6 year olds can spend 5 minutes at home alone without killing themselves.
your_face 15
Yeah... I'm not sure about where you live, but where I live it's not actually legal to leave a six-year-old home alone.
augustdanielle 0
It isn't legal to leave a 6 yr old child at home alone. You have to be at least 13. Who was watching the child? If someone was, they obviously weren't doing a very good job of it so make them buy you a new phone ;D. If no one was watching your child, you're a ******* idiot.
curryndricegirll 0
Yeah, that's definitely illegal. That, and he's six years old, so yes, he does need someone watching him. I mean, obviously, if he's digging a burial for a dead cellphone, he needs someone watching him.
ambrosia05 2
It's possible he was being watched, and the babysitter just thought he was playing in the yard, not putting the phone to rest.
122vanessa122 5
awww, he is so cute. YOUR foult for keeping it within his reach. haha. and i dont think it will stop working just kus you barried it. so LAWL. :)
Seti_fml 0
#6 "...our shovel was on the floor, muddy and wet." I'd assume it was raining or wet out... soo the phone was probably soaked in the process and has mud in every little opening. Id be shocked if it still worked.

"foult kus barried"? I mean, I realize that not everyone speaks English as a first language but COME ON?!!

Why do so many people think it's cute when brat kids do brat things?
sushimi_fml 0
#27 Funny thing is that people who make most grammar and spelling mistakes are those for whom English actually *is* their first language...
XBeckster 0
#27 FTW . Aww , thats adorable . YDI for keeping it in your kids reach , and leaving him alone at the age of 6 .
hurdy 0
Yeah, it really isn't funny so much as it is sad.
curryndricegirll 0
it's not a brat thing. it's cute because he had good intentions. i mean, it's not like he did it on purpose, because that would be bratty. she said, "Cellphone died." So to him, death means it needs to be buried, and she said that he was doing it so she wouldn't feel bad. I don't see how that's bratty.
Julle_fml 0
That is just the cutest thing :) Sounds like you've got a very sweet and caring son.

he is dead
Lehk 9
that's so sweet. not a FYL at all. $200 really isn't that much compared to a story you will be able to tell for decades at family reunions and thanksgiving dinner.
firebirdforever 0
Yeah, so sweet because OP totally has $200 to drop on a new palm pilot because his or her child is a retard.
Leah_Adelle 0
you're ignorant. the kid is 6! there are many things that he isn't going to be able to grasp yet. he's not a retard at all.
lizzzie_fml 0
ydi if for calling it 'dead' in front of a young kid
4G63evo 0
What else are you supposed to call it?
whimsical_fml 0
"Just" 200?! Do you have a JOB? How old are you? Do you realize the state the economy is in? 200 dollars is quite a nice chunk of change. Imagine how many hours you'd have to work and all the shit you'd have to go through to make enough money to have enough to buy a phone in addition to all the necessities. THINK before you comment.
