Today, I bought a brand new huge leather recliner. After laying down and watching football for some time, I sit up and hear a loud shatter. My iPhone was crushed by the mechanics of the chair after it slipped out of my pocket. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I was lying on my recliner watching TV when I dropped the remote under the footrest. I got down on my hands and knees and pushed the footrest into the chair. The moment I touched the remote, the footrest deployed and hit me square in the face. FML
Today, I threw my brand new iPhone 4 in the air whilst laying on my bed. It came down, went through my fingers, landed on my balls, then broke on the concrete floor. FML
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML
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, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I got home after a long day and collapsed onto my bed… forgetting I'd left my laptop open on it. Now I have an expensive, broken pillow. FML
Today, I was finishing up at the gym and packed my bag to come home. I set my phone on top of it for a second as I knelt down to tie my shoes. Less than a minute later, I grabbed my bag to walk out, forgetting that it was on top. It tumbled to the ground and smashed. Guess I need a new phone. FML
Today, I was at a party, and I sat down on a chair. While conversing with friends, I shifted places on the chair, and broke it. Embarrassed, I then stood up and change chairs. After moving to the next chair, I broke that one too. FML
Today, I was watching a movie on my chair. I leaned back on the back of the chair and kept leaning back. Then I slowly fell down with my chair, onto the floor. It made a big noise, but nobody was hurt, it was just really absurd, like I'd watched another episode of Mr. Bean. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And this is why you don't put your phone in your pocket when you lay down. I just leave my phone in my purse ^.^, but I guess this isn't a solution for everyone. Oh well, hope you learn from your mistakes.

there're too many FMLs about iPhones breaking. and why do iPhone owners feel the need to say 'iPhone'? is it superior to a phone? to people need to know you own an iPhone? does the fact that it's an iPhone make your story more traumatic?

Somebody wishes they had an iPhone.

because the phone was a iPhone... if it was a different phone and the same thing happened they would tell people that "so and so brand phone " and bitch about it. iPhones just seem to get broken pretty often then other phones, hence all the iPhone fml's...

I have one and I dropped it and the screen cracked and it still works grand AND my insurance for my household items include my phone so it was fixed with a $10 deductable. YDI for not shopping around places that have insurance for electronics valued over 200 dollars!

Hmm idk if iPhones have a tendency to break(more than other phones). Don't feel like looking up the numbers, but I read that iPhones dominate the smartphone market. So, naturally there are more iPhones that could get broken(from the more expensive phones). And yeah I don't think if it was an average phone, the OP would have mentioned it.

Go to zagg.com I sell their product called invisible shield. A customer did the same thing and his phone had a shield on it, it was in perfect condition.
