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?

Insurance on your phone would help you get a new one. It's a wonderful thing, and only cost me five dollars a month.

I have a $400 Blackberry from AT&T. Insurance costs $3 a month. If anything happens to it, I can get a new Blackberry for $125, no questions asked. Totally YDI for not getting insurance, or from buying from a store that doesn't offer insurance.

That's stupid too to pay $400 for a phone and then $125 for a replacement one if it breaks. You know what a smarter thing to do is? Buy a cheaper phone cuz those don't break and even if they do, you can buy a new one for under $100 and it still won't add up to half of what you paid for the original phone. People are so stupid w/ cell phones these days. And then they wonder why they have no money...

@34, Smartphones are expensive, from 400-800 dollars. The only reason you can get them for like 99 dollars is because you sign your soul over to the companies on the contracts.

#44: I don't know where you live, but in the United States, you pretty much HAVE to sign a contract to get a cell phone, unless you want some shitass prepaid phone. A Blackberry should never cost you $400.. they are super cheap these days and everyone and their mom has one. And honestly, do you REALLY think the MSRP listed for these phones is for real? Of course it isn't; it's overinflated so that they can give you 'discounts' and 'rebates' so that they can make you feel like you got a good deal.

If the screen shattered from one drop, then the OP probably got an iPhone. In which case YDI for not getting a gel case.
