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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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?

Weird! So you bought a new phone and you got it without any packaging? They just gave the phone without any manual, adaptor, ...?

If it's an iphone they have to take it out of the box to register and activate it. It's a deal they have with AT&T so people will sign their life away for two years. After they activate it, they give it to you to play with and do what you wish. The adapter and other items are already in the box and they throw that in a bag. So it's very likey he was playing around with the phone and it dropped. Doesn't excuse him for being a dumbass. Also, there is no insurance offered for the iphone. Atleast not anywhere where I have gone. There is applecare protection, but they don't cover drops, cracked screens, etc. Like I said, if you have a cracked screen, there are places where you can get a new screen for 20-40 bucks and it's SUPER easy to replace yourself.

Actually, if the OP purchased the phone with a credit card, he could be eligible for the 90 day warranty on ANYTHING he buys, and the coverage includes 100% coverage for loss, theft and breakage. Or at least that's how it works with some credit cards in Canada.

I don't think we have anything like that here in the US. That I'm aware of. I could be wrong. But if that were the case everyone would be returning things left and right. And I'm sure the companies can decide whether or not to follow through with this. Otherwise that wouldn't be fair to the companies to give 100% money back to dumbasses who break their phones. People would just go around breaking their stuff for new stuff or money back. It wouldn't fly.

Sprint actually has insurance for iPhones it's only like 5 bucks a month and they'll replace it for 200 which is better than the 600 it would cost to buy a new one outright.
