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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML
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 dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML
Today, I got a Samsung Galaxy and opened the box to see a cracked screen. I showed the clerk and she said I must have dropped it. I hadn't moved since she handed me the box. 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 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
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer because I wouldn't give her a new iPhone 5 for free to replace her broken Nokia, which she threw out the window in "blind rage". I felt awful having to thank her for calling. Sadly, this is a daily event. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I got my phone back after bringing it in to get a crack in the screen repaired. The crack is fixed, but now the touch screen doesn't work and it won't connect to the Internet. I essentially paid to have my phone broken even more. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Two minutes to drop it? Were you on an airplane at 40,000 ft when you dropped it? Or was it one of those comedy scenes where you were juggling and bobbling it and finally it fell to the ground and got smashed?

give it back, it never left the store so you should be fine, they'll just send it back to the mfg as defective

Where are you from? No one does that... it's the "you break it, you buy it" policy. HAHA wow seriously? If he had and dropped the phone, he already bought it. And the store would laugh him out if he asked to return or get his money back. They would say "We can get you a replacement screen for 200 dollars and install it." Good thing for some of us, we know where and how to install new screens for around 20 bucks :D

You must believe everything people tell you. Lots of places do that, they want the sale, they don't mind screwing the mfg. And if they don't do it for you, you can just add the insurance and make a claim.

Are you serious? None of the places I have been do that. If you go in and knock off an expensive glass piece, it's yours. And if we are talking about iphones (which I'm fairly sure we are) no apple store does that. NONE. I have been to apple stores all over the United States. I actually SAW a guy do this exact FML. The person activating their phone laughed and then said "We offer screen replacements for 200 dollars". They would make MORE money offering to replace the screen. Why would they just take the phone back? The person can't sue. And there is no insurance for dropped iphones. And if he DID drop it and sign a new two year agreement, he would have to buy the second phone for FULL PRICE since he is buying another phone before his 2 year agreement is up. So the NEW phone would run about 500-600 dollars depending on the GBs or if it's a 3Gs. Basically phone companies WANT this to happen. It's a huge money maker.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that this was an iPhone cause 1 iPhones are the phone that break after 1 drop and 2 iPhone users have little intelligence or coordination so they would be the clumsy ones 2 drop their precious $9000 after 2 minutes

You stood in a line for an hour to get a phone? More fool you... what a complete waste of time. You know it requires someone to be interested in you to make a call? Sure as hell I would not be speaking to anyone who lines up for an hour to get a communication device. Way too sad for words... get a life.

Are you sure you didn't wait for TWO hours to get your phone?

I think you should have posted this complete with a picture on fail blog.

I don't understand why people are so addicted to cell phones that they need a stupid high-tech one that shatters if you drop it. All I need is one that dials and texts, which is why I've been using the same dinky phone for the past 4 or 5 years and it's still doing its job despite it being dropped on concrete and hard floors probably a hundred times and I didn't have to pay a boatload of money for it.

You seriously should consider what your life means to you, we read things here about people losing jobs, finding out their partner is cheating, finding out partner is divorcing them and YOU think the fact that YOU had to wait 1 hour to buy a phone is FML. If that is the extent of your FML, you should seriously consider asking your parent for a retrospective abortion.

I think the word you're looking for there is retroACTIVE, Mikey Walsh. And if anyone asks me who Mikey Walsh is, I'm gonna commit Hare Krishna.
