Today, I was texting while making dinner. I went to pour the noodles into the boiling water and I dropped my phone in. Not thinking, I went to retrieve it from the water. I now have a completely useless phone and a useless hand. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got home from the hospital after I burned my hand. Why? I dropped my phone in the pot while stirring hot soup, and I reached in to get it. FML
Today, I put my phone in the dishwasher by accident. I'd left it on the kitchen counter with a bunch of dirty stuff and, distracted, loaded it in with the plates. I only realized it when the dishwasher started making weird noises. My phone was soaked and blinking with bubbles inside. It didn’t survive. FML
Today, I was checking my phone while using the toilet. In a distressing moment of my brain mixing up the signals to my hands, I dropped my phone into the bowl and pressed my thumb into the shitty paper to turn it off. FML
Today, I was making Cup Noodles for breakfast. After microwaving it for 3 minutes, I carefully grabbed the cup to pour some water out, but my hand gave out and some water spilled on it. Now I have a burned hand and no noodles. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in the frying pan whilst cooking my steak. I had to rinse off the oil immediately and clean the phone, then had to eat a cold steak. FML
Today, I was in my hot tub with my brand new phone. I set it down and when I grabbed my towel I knocked it into the water. I quickly snatched it up and dried it off with the towel, and surprisingly only one button stopped working. It was the unlock button, so now I have a perfectly good phone that I can't use. FML
Today, after telling my best friend an idiot could make Kraft Dinner, I spilled boiling water all over my hands and forearms while attempting to strain the noodles. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in the toilet. Now I know why they call it 'smart' phone; it's smarter than me. FML
Today, after dropping my phone in the toilet, I left it dismantled outside in my backyard to dry hoping it could be saved. I forgot about the phone as well as the sprinklers that were scheduled to go off. FML
Today, my fancy rubber phone case did its job and saved my phone from damage when I dropped it on the bathroom counter. Unfortunately, it was rather useless after the massive bounce it took before landing in the toilet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So use your other hand.

YDI for using your phone over a vat of boiling hot water, and not thinking for that split second as to whether or not you should reach in and get it. People shouldn't be allowed to multitask when it comes to texting.

Some people are just complete idiots on many levels.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is only one of the many reasons why texting is only for douches.

OP, and you expect sympathy? Please don't procreate.

OP acts on reflexes while multitasking. You come to the comments section to make unoriginal and overused remarks about others right to procreate. Pretty sure I know who'd I rather keep out of the gene pool.

Gotta agree with #34, reflexes just take over sometimes--its how the brain works. FYL OP, burns on the hand suck. I once spilled soup all over my hand and it burned like hell for days.

I burned my hands before. but that's cause we use dish rags and not oven mits, and my mom nags a lot and a I dropped the towels yelling at her, picked up two pans at 425F the smell of cooking flesh is not a good smell. but op, for the love of god, put the phone down for two seconds and pay attention, you do not need to be on a phone all the time. when walking, cooking doing anything important, including school focus, you were working with hot water and a flame, there are three ways to get burned (flame water steam) so you need to have full attention when working with that. I hope you learned something. the text could have waited a few seconds. also when walking yes people say they can see in their peripheral vision but I see so many people run into poles carts, cars, and walks while texting. this is a simple case of pay attention. now have fun reflecting with out your phone.

The OP is anonymous, yet I'm fairly certain the OP is a woman. Who the hell texts while cooking? No guy that I know ever does that. Only women feel the need to text their thoughts and feelings as they happen, regardless of what they're doing at the time. C'mon people! A little bit of common sense please?
