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
Collection
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 went to the UK for the first time, and had the most amazing time with my girlfriend, catching it all on tape. When I got back to South America, I realized someone had stolen my camera. FML
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
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 received my camera in the mail that my mom sent from home since I forgot it when I moved to Italy. It was wrapped in 4 layers of bubble wrap and packed in foam peanuts to keep it from getting broken. As I was removing the last layer of bubble wrap I dropped it, breaking the screen. FML
Today, while I was out of the house, my 6 year old brother stole my new waterproof camera, dunked it into the toilet holding onto the wrist strap, and flushed repeatedly to see if it lived up to its "waterproof promise." It didn't. FML
Today, my expensive, multi-feature, waterproof watch was destroyed... by water. FML
Today, while backpacking in Switzerland I had my camera stolen. Not only does this have photos of my entire trip but the pictures I took for my best friend's wedding. I was the only photographer of her elopement. FML
Today, I went deep-sea fishing with my friends. I told them my new phone case is waterproof, and I showed them by pouring a bit of water on it. My friend decided to throw it in the water for a better example. The case didn't float. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Something tells me that I you can afford to trek around Europe for 4 months, that should also be able to afford a scuba rental, good luck!

Ydi for doing the truffle shuffle on the London Bridge.
MrSassypants 34
Wait... what do you mean next time? Next time he drops his camera off the London bridge? How is OP going to have better luck? Did I ask 5 questions? Nope. How about now? Yes.

London bridge is falling down.. falling down... falling down...

And that is why they make straps that go on your wrist or neck. YDI

it could have done some crazy ninja move by accident you never know, it's not like he threw it out there to play fetch with some birdies.

did they remake the London bridge? because last I thought it was moved to the USA for a tourest attraction after not being up to safty codes
rattusrattus 19
Yeah, they did. Got a museum under it. I'm still wondering if they meant the actual London Bridge, or if they mixed it up with Tower Bridge (named after the Tower of London and has four big towers as part of it), which is a common mistake.

...off the London bridge, and into a glass of water!
ericownz101 0
116 they moved the whole thing to arizona. Brick by brick then rebuilt it. and theres no museum under it, just a bunch of shops around it. i'm like an hour away so i've been there a ton :D

It doesn't matter if it's waterproof!! It fell off a bridge so OP can't get it back!!!!!! >.

no not at all :)
MrSassypants 34
104 but were you calling her ugly? JK. Also for people who are going to say I don't have a pic of myself and I could be ugly, I know I don't and how can a handsome devil like me be ugly? JK. I think I look... umm... descent?
thebatboy 4
I can't stand shutterbugs. and, if OP was smart, they would have had a couple of memory sticks or rolls of film, so all of the pictures won't be lost. if all of the pictures were on one, then 1) stupid and 2) u didn't take enough pictures for 4 months. think about that.
brittwo 0
The whole point of having a camera is to have pictures of memorable events. Getting a new one will not fix the fact that the OP lost a lot of important pictures.
camartinez23 0
let's just hope it's falling down falling down falling down!
YacL 15
Hey, it's water-proof, so they're not destroyed, just lost. I'm sure that made you feel so much better *sarcasm*.

The London bridge is in Arizona tho...

um false

There is a bar in Arizona called London Bridge. However, I'm pretty sure OP didn't drop the camera in a pot of beer!

america brought the orginal London bridge ... and left us with a shit one, thats why I prefer tower bridge :D
sxe_beast 11
Don't flame him. I think he was just confused: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_%28Lake_Havasu_City%29
Danni_04 13
I think the LONDON Bridge is a big enough clue.
rainer13 11
The London Bridge was taken apart and then reconstructed in Arizona. A more modern one was then rebuilt in London. So, technically, there's two London Bridges.
hidingmaster 2
Ya there's one in Arizona.. but if ops location is London and they are on a 4 month Europe trip... well it's not that one. it's common sense

there actually is a bridge in Arizona called the London bridge, but it's not the one the FML is about.

ur dumb it's in London
EliseAqua 0
Yes, they moved the ORIGINAL London Bridge to a museum in Arizona. However this FML is about the one they replaced the original one with.
