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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my dog for a walk down by the river. I was throwing sticks for him with one hand and talking on the phone with the other. Then I accidentally threw my phone in the river instead of the stick and was standing there talking to the stick while my phone sat at the bottom of the river. 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, 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, I was walking my dog through a park with a lake. My dog was swimming in said lake, and then appeared to be having trouble keeping his head up. I put my phone and keys on the ground and waded to my dog. He was fine, but I turned around in time to see someone run off with my stuff. 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, a few weeks after teaching my dog to fetch my phone and drop it in my lap, he decided to do it spontaneously. Too bad I was in the bath at the time. There goes a $300 phone. 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 was tasked with taking a photo of my best friend getting engaged. As her boyfriend got down on one knee, I got so nervous that I fumbled the camera. It landed right in the lake. I didn’t get a single picture, and now I owe them a new Canon EOS R10. FML
Today, I tripped on a rock, fell in a pond, and lost my phone. All while dressed as a banana for a charity run. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks but your heart was in the right place. You know how much your doggie loves his ball.

You don't take that stuff to a river. Keep it locked in your car. You just voided your warranty with Apple, but maybe you can get your camera and lens replaced? FYL

OP, YDI for being an idiot, always leave the electronics at home or in your car when you go on boat, and why the **** you wanted to save a little ball that cost that little?
ImaginaryFoe 1
Wow, the firsties never learn. I would think it was be the dog's job to retrieve things. I might've done the same thing in your place. I hate to lose things and the adrenaline of the moment carries you away. Your dog is rather grateful though. I really hope you have a warranty that covers that. FYL

Most warranties don't cover water damage.

@69 where would he put said things in his pocket? Is the dog going to watch them? I wouldn't trust that dog. haha. fyl op. Your camera is toast but in a few days see if it'll turn back on. waterlogged cameras take really cool photos.

OMG!!! THATS JUST HORRIBLE! HEAd onn! Hope you gett it back with insurance or Warranty? :))
DGross 8
ehh most warranties I know won't honor water damage but it's worth a try... ...but seriously, it's not like your fall was unexpected unless you capsized a boat or something... standing next to water reaching over water usually means there is a chance of getting wet...
ThuhBoss 0
My brother spent a couple grand on a camera and warranty, and water damage was excluded from it.
adriana012 0
Yeah warranty doesnt cover water damage... but once, my ipod nano screen filled with water because of rain. I went to the store and just told them it stopped working haha. They exchanged it for an "opened-box" ipod. So you could give it a try!
letmeinplease 0
OP is a man though. I'm pretty sure my own 'I don't know what happened, it just stopped working' routine (read: I accidently put it through a 40 degree wash) only worked cause I batted my eyes and wore a see through top.

Normally I would ask how you know that, but this time I think I'll just stare in a fascinating awe at the level of depth of knowledge your comment has.

Ofcourse he would take his phhone so he could get calls in case of emergancies and everthink that he was taking pics of the river?He might have been bending. down to grab the ball and fell. He said FELL not jumped. But really, FYL.

Hang on! Dfos actually has a brilliant idea; convert your £ to $ then you'll have twice as much money and can replace your things with a nice little profit! BTW, I LOLd at 122. Self-deprecation FTW
