Today, I was at an amusement park with friends. We wanted to get a picture of all four of us, so we asked a nice-looking man to take it for us on my brand-new iPhone 6s. He took something. Unfortunately, it wasn't a picture. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was taking a group shot with my friends when I asked a stranger to take the picture for us. He backed up and told us to squish closer together, and when he was at least 20 feet away, he turned and ran off with my camera. FML
Today, I saw a group of attractive guys at the mall. One of them looked exactly like a friend, so I decided to take a picture. Trying to be discreet, I put my phone up to my ear as if I was making a phone call, and pressed the capture button. The flash went off. FML
Today, I was at the Apple Store taking random pictures of myself. I took one with a really stupid face. This girl passes by and says, "Wow, that's a cool effect! You look just like an alien!" I wasn't using any effects. It was a regular picture. FML
Today, at a family reunion, we all squeezed in for a picture. I set the self-timer and ran to get in it. 2 seconds before the picture went off, some guy came up, stole the camera, and ran away. FML
Today, I asked a woman to take a picture of me and my girlfriend kissing on the beach. When I looked up, the woman and my phone were gone. FML
Today, I was out on a date with a guy. His hot co-worker came to have a beer with us, and I knew my best friend would think he was gorgeous. I wanted to take a picture of him without knowing, so I tried to hold up my phone and pretend to be texting. The flash went off. FML
Today, I was at work and a guy walked up holding his phone with the camera facing me. He then looks up at me and says, "I'm not taking a picture of you. I'm just trying to catch a Pokemon." And here I was thinking that I looked nice today. FML
Today, I was at Sea World and was about to take a picture of the big walrus. I noticed my phone was still set to use the front camera, and I muttered "Oops, selfie mode." A guy next to me turned, looked at me, and said "Not like there's a difference for you." FML
Today, my friends and I were messing around with an app on my phone that makes your picture look fat. My picture looked the same before and after. FML
Today, an officemate "invited" me to take a selfie with him with his "Brand new iPhone 17 Pro Max, fully paid in cash." And here I am, still lugging my now 7 year-old phone, which is stuck at Android 9, and I had to stick a power bank on the casing to keep the battery on life support. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Never judge a book by its cover

I always ask someone who has a young child or baby with them. They never run.

Or a phone by its pictures

Unless they're training the next generation of thieves.

Or you are in Eastern Europe. Then you can't trust them at all.

Track him down using the handy dandy "find my iPhone" app and take something of his as well... His balls, since he obviously doesn't have any, stealing phones from girls.

First of all, you can't steal something he doesn't have. Second, that was extremely sexist; you have no idea if OP is a girl.
thawny_fml 21
OP is a girl. Guys don't take group photos. We stand awkwardly in photos taken by girls.
jake_braves 25
Or perhaps his freedom..lol he stole OP's phone.

A guy would not use the phrase "A Nice looking man".

Honestly, any other phone is less expensive then an IPhone. Android Masterrace.

I guess I'm just not that trusting of people, I wouldn't ever hand over my phone to a stranger to take a picture. And my phone is damn cheap. Next time hand it to someone of who you're sure you can outrun.

What if OP is morbidly obese?
Mynamewontfi 40
Then OP should find the human equivalent of a whale to take pictures. Then if the phone gets stolen, OP can roll after them and still get the phone back.

Now I'm imagining a pod of killer whales surrounding a manatee with a killer ringtone.

You know, this is why I really don't have a problem with selfie sticks. Fewer thefts = always a good thing.
MonstreBelle 29
It's like a 2-in-1 defense system. You don't need to give your phone to a stranger to fit everyone in the picture and if someone still manages to steal your phone, you can beat them into submission with it and get your phone back

Only problem with your idea is the fact there has been a recent trend in most theme parks restricting or outlawing the use of them citing safety concerns.
militarybrat 21
On roller coasters/rides yes, not in the actual parks.

Second selfie stick. People look at you funny but at least you have less thing to worry about. Or alternatively use the front camera and get the person in front of the group to take it and stick all your heads together like sardine.
