Today, I lost my balance while crossing a creek and fell in. I had my camera on me at the time. It's fried, and I don't have the $2K I need to replace it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I fell in a river with a £700 camera, a £200 lens, and an iPhone while trying to rescue a 50 pence ball for my dog. FML
Today, I dropped my camera down 4 flights of circular stairs from the top of a lighthouse. Everything worked, it just had a few dents. Then, as I went to put it in my pocket, I missed. It fell 3 feet and hit the floor. Now it won't turn on. FML
Today, I dropped my camera into water. The good news is that it's waterproof. The bad news is I dropped it off London Bridge. All the pictures and videos of my four-month trip around Europe were on it. FML
Today, while on a nature hike with friends. I tried to take a selfie at the edge of a cliff with the majestic view as a backdrop, but I slipped and dropped my phone. It's now RIP (resting in pieces) at the bottom of a ravine. FML
Today, while taking pictures by the pool, my friend wanted to use my camera. I told her to put the wrist strap on so it wouldn't fall into the pool. She dropped the camera while trying to put the strap on. FML
Today, I forgot to take my phone out of my bathing suit pocket before I went into the pool. It's not a high-end phone, so that's not why FML. The FML part is because I was on vacation, didn't have internet access, and the phone has no external memory card, so all the pictures I took while on vacation are lost. FML
Today, I was kayaking with my family for my birthday when we tipped over while going down a rocky cascade. My husband badly cut up his arm, and my car keys and my phone both went for a swim and never returned. Great birthday. FML
Today, my dad squirted water at me. Fortunately, I blocked it. Unfortunately, I blocked it with my new $200 camera. FML
Today, my expensive, multi-feature, waterproof watch was destroyed... by water. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

News flash! You need to keep your focus to avoid overexposure to dangers I shutter to think of. Ok, I'll f-stop now.

And it doesn't even make phone calls, surf the web, tell time, text or call Ubers.

Hey look at it this way. I did the same thing as a child(30 odd years ago) and drove an 8 inch nail between the two hemispheres of my BRAIN. at least you only broke a camera

If I'm going to be getting a $2000 camera I would have gotten a waterproof one.

I'm sorry but a $2k camera that isn't water resistant is a Piece of shit. Next camera Make sure that's a feature, and you can do better for a lot less.

First of all of you own a camera that costed 2k then you probably make good money to get such a camera. You might not have the money to replace it at the moment but you will once you get paid so just replace it then? 🤷♀️
