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

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 dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
Today, while walking to work, I accidentally dropped my $400 cell phone on the sidewalk. The screen shattered into a million pieces. A woman passing by looked at the ruined phone and said, "Now that's what you call a dropped call!" She laughed and kept walking. FML
Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML
Today, I stood in line for one hour to get a new phone. It then took me 2 minutes to drop it and shatter the screen, and 2 seconds for the employee to look at, laugh, and tell me, "That Sucks." 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 bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. FML
Today, I stepped on the MacBook Air I purchased 4 days ago. The screen snapped in two, and I didn't buy insurance because I promised myself I would be "extra careful." $3500 well spent. 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 helped friends move home, and since we couldn't all fit in their car I took the bus. While waiting, my new phone slipped and crashed on the floor. It now has a cracked screen right between my two overpriced phone protectors. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's why you never take the chance with an iPhone. You can do that with a Nokia, not iphone

But how much did she pay overall for each month of insurance? I don't think it's always bad - if you need the phone replacing early in the contract (and the insurance plan actually covers the problem) then it should work out a good deal. I just don't think it's worth it in the long term as you could end up paying insurance for 24 months and end up never having to use it...personally, I'd rather just put the money to the side and save it up myself. Then I have something in case of emergency but, if nothing happens, I don't lose out. Of course, if you have enough money that you can easily afford it it might be worth paying just for the peace of mind but I don't have that much myself.

Irony...should have got a case for it...that would have protected it depending how it hit the ground...

I have personally never had insurance. I have always chanced it and over 5 years broke 0 phones. I guess when I paid $300 for a phone being 16 you really respect it. With that said in the next few weeks when I get the HTC one I will be putting insurance on it.

Ydi for getting an iPhone. They break easily, insurance is needed with those crappy things.
