Today, I ran across the street due to a line of cars waiting for me to cross. Just as I reached the other side, my iPhone slipped out of my hand and fell into the road, just in time to get run over by multiple cars, one after the other. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I accidentally dropped my phone while I was crossing the road. Luckily, it survived the fall. Not so luckily, an oncoming bus steamrolled it into oblivion. FML
Today, to keep my phone safe while I went on some rides, I took it out of my pocket so I could put it in my bag. Just as I pulled it out, a woman ran into me, knocking my phone to the ground and breaking the screen. FML
Today, I fell going down the stairs to the subway platform during rush hour. Someone was kind enough to help me up and someone else was kind enough to steal my iPhone which had fallen out of my pocket and landed nearby. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in the parking lot and it landed next to a car tire. As I reached to pick it up, the car backed up and ran over my phone and my hand. Hello, emergency room! FML
Today, when I crossed the street, I almost died because of a careless driver, but when I crossed it again on my way back, I got hit by a bicycle. FML
Today, I put my phone on top the car while putting my daughter in her car seat. Told myself not to forget it. Then I drove away, and it flew off the top of the car on the freeway. It got ran over. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging again for the first time in months. I made it one block before tripping over the curb. I fell so hard, my phone flew out of my pocket and hit a parked car, setting off its alarm. I ran off when I saw house curtains all around me start to twitch. FML
Today, I managed to run over my own foot with my own car. FML
Today, I forgot my phone on the roof of my car. I took a 30 minute drive from my friend's city to my city. I got on to my driveway, surprised to see my phone still there. Thinking I'm really lucky, I pick up my phone. Then, I trip over a pebble, cracking my phone in the process. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Never run with an iPhone in your hand. Never.

Because just getting a crack in the screen is too mainstream

That made no sense @5

16- you made no sense

1- It's just like running with scissors, but more tragic. R.I.P., OP's innocent iPhone.
Laurenlou 24
Well now OP has a great excuse to get an Android!
xXxSCREAMxXx 3
and here starts an iPhone vs. Android argument.
sens3sfailing 25
I think that apples are much more mummy than androids. You always get circuits stuck in your teeth and get shocked, apples are just downright delicious! Lets argue about this instead!

Should've had best buys geek squad protection!

Why not run with an iPhone? Just don't be butter fingers and you'll be fun. I run with mine in my hand a lot and I have never ever dropped my iPhone, nor my iPhone 3G. I've never dropped an iPhone ever. It isn't hard to hold onto it.

This is why you have a grippy rubber case.

Why not run with an iPhone? It turns it into a iPad Mini! Everybody wins!!

Speak from experience ?

#105 Do you mean me? Luckily, no. I've had mine a year and not dropped it once. :)
sonicgreg 12
You can run with a Nokia phone, but dropping that in the road would cause a car accident.

Ran over by plenty of cars = completely broken
Pleonasm 36
23- It's a popular saying consisting of saying, basically, that OP is too cool to just scratch the screen like other people; he had to get it scrambled by a troop of cars. He didn't imply it wasn't completely broken. Maybe it's lost on some people, I dunno.
ShannyAK 16
True

Truuu* Yours truly, 2 Chainzzz!

Can OP be a hipster if they own an iPhone?
lilhellian 27
He'd need a feature phone for that.

Thank you captain obvious
BulldogHoops 14
That kind of thing has happened to me numerous times, fortunately not with something near that valuable. I hope you didn't have anything too important on there!
CheeseHater 23
I remember that happening with my Nokia 3310 back in 2002, caused a 300 car pileup. It was horrible. I did find my phone though, so it was all well and good.
sjdbeinska 4
I dunno about OP but i once shattered my iphone and the insurance company gave me a brand new once :) same goes with my macbook
DogsPaw 16
You dropped a Nokia and it was stopped by the ground? Bullshit.
sjdbeinska 4
EDIT: before i get run over by grammar nazis *brand new one
BlowinChronic 18
42- that's an obvious typo, not bad spelling. Don't worry about it.
CheeseHater 23
Oh, no it didn't. I had to go down a two mile hole to find it. The pileup was due to a whole block of destroyed roads, naturally.
eyebrowzzz 21
Why r ppl down voting this, it was a good comment
IAMVINCE 11
Agreed with #1. Don't run with your smartphone.
thepunman 11
Wow! Thanks for informing us.

4- I say this way more often than I should have to, but there's literally a button for that :0

Run with a Nokia instead.
xXxSCREAMxXx 3
but not a Lumia!
DogsPaw 16
I'd rather run with a iPhone than the shit Thors hammer is made of.
TheNewGuy03 29
I run with a RAZR, which is arguably better than running with scissors.

I have that fear of that happening when I walk across a busy road. I feel bad for you, hopefully you have apple care?!
justonecomment 2
Best Buys geek squad protection is way better than apple care!
kawaiichick 9
Really? In what way are they better than Apple Care? Honestly, I don't know.
Pleonasm 36
Should've goten that invincible phone case, I hear they're only 80 dollars.
sunkistfitch 4
Only? Get an Otter Box. Invincible and half the cost.

Previous FML, fellows.

I feel just one car would have destroyed your iPhone, even with an indestructible case. Didn't an FML from a couple months ago mention someone who simply dropped their phone with such a case as a test and it broke? Got to be less careless, if you had tripped you'd be in the same situation.
hunterluv1 20
13- would you rather not get it and have to pay $500 for another iPhone in situations similar (but less drastic) than this?

Actually, my teacher accidentally ran over her phone (she didn't notice she had dropped it at the door) and she had a life proof case, it survived
pogue36 5
I've had it and ran over mine threw it at a wall everything and my iPhone survived I've even heard stories of it surviving in a busy intersection for over 30 minutes. They person testing it might haven't had the defender series.

Apple Care, Replacing your phone after God sends a plague of cars after it.
gracehi 33
The Apple gods have deemed you unworthy. It may seem like over kill, but the multiple cars crushing your iPhone was just for good measure.
Pleonasm 36
Who can challenge the whim of the iGods? YOU ARE NOT WORTHY, OP.
mullisupreme 16
i wish i could give you two tumbs! ;-)
PinkieKeen 20
Yup, it's REAL smart to run across the street with your iPhone 5.
OldMemoriesFade 8
Who said they had the iPhone 5? All I read was "iPhone" nothing about the generation.
PinkieKeen 20
Sorry, I'm stupid, didn't read the FML clearly
jjames7543 13
I just imagined OP falling to their knees screaming "WHHHHYYYY???!!?!?!" towards the sky...

You just made this post ten times funnier.
