Today, I went deep-sea fishing with my friends. I told them my new phone case is waterproof, and I showed them by pouring a bit of water on it. My friend decided to throw it in the water for a better example. The case didn't float. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my roommate was making a waterproof iPhone case and decided to use my phone to test it out. It didn't work. FML
Today, I was showing my new iPhone case to my friends, saying how it was scratchproof, shockproof, and waterproof. I demonstrated it by dropping it on the sidewalk from about 5 feet. It bounced onto the road. Apparently, its not truck-proof. FML
Today, I woke up to find my cat had knocked my phone into the toilet. As I fished it out, soaking wet, I thought, "Well, at least it's water-resistant." Turns out, my phone wasn't. 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
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend on my boat at the lake. As we were looking at the mountains all around us, she playfully pushed me off the side into the water. As I got back on the boat, I realized that not only was my cellphone dead, but the ring had fallen into the deep water. FML

Today, my expensive, multi-feature, waterproof watch was destroyed... by water. FML
Today, my friend and I went boating. In the middle of the lake, we decided to jump in. We put our valuables in the boat and jumped in. When I tried to get back in the boat, it flipped over, and our cellphones, along with my car keys, are at the bottom of the lake. FML
Today, I was at a pool party with some friends. They grabbed and lifted me in the air, about to throw me in the pool. My iPhone was in my pocket, so I screamed "MY PHONE!" They paused so I could gently throw it onto a deck chair. It bounced, hit the concrete, and cracked its screen. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in water, and my friends told me to put it in rice to draw out the water. They put my phone in riceroni. My phone now smells like chicken and has rice seasoning stuck all over it. Needless to say it still doesn't work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think you need to throw your friend overboard and find out if he floats.

Seriously.. People this dumb shouldn't be able to go deep-sea fishing
slingerslasher 24
Yes, an intellectually stimulating activity like deep-sea fishing should be reserved only for the smartest members of our community.

My as well toss him in now

What an idiot friend. Nonetheless, OP should have jumped in after it. My phone is like a baby to me. I would be so lost without it.

I think you missed the part where it said "deep-sea" #89

"My phone is like my baby" I hate new, modern technology. Especially smartphones because they take the true meaning out of phones, and they are just a handheld computer. I hate it. Mostly the people using it though.. "LULZ HAY GURL #SELFIE LIKE U WUNNA GO GET SOM DRINKS? #BAR #ALCOHOL #DRINKING"

Well it did it only say "waterproof."
Stazza11 27
No, it said it would float if thrown into the salt water of the ocean - please test to make sure this feature works....

@earth_venus, Careful what you say. You'll freak out the 2 Salem witches who are hiding here.

Pandaburr1 15

TheMathMajor 26

badluckalex 23

It will be crushed because of water pressure.

People gotta learn the difference between waterproof and submersible. Also, your friend sucks OP
slingerslasher 24
You mean I can't go swimming in my waterproof windbreaker and come up dry?
joeblow6969 5
What does being submersible have to do with it's buoyancy? Even if the device can function fully submerged in water doesn't mean it will float. Why does this have so many upvotes?
MsKatieFace 11
I'm with Joe, waterproof and submersible are basically the same thing.... My guess Joe, your down votes are coming from people who now feel silly for up voting the original comment.
SherbetGlitter 26
I think that the commenter was meaning that the friend should have known waterproof doesn't always mean submersible so chucking it into even a glass of water is a stupid idea
singer0421 32
I don't think that'll make the warranty.
juststephhere 23
It probably doesn't but that friend should be buying him a new phone
DippinGrizzly907 27
Nothing Ever makes the warranty... And even if you think it does, there is Always something in the super fine print that'll leave you out to dry... Or if you're super lucky it'll be covered but your new phone is only $30 cheaper then store price... Mean ass phone companies...
euphoricness 28
I'm sure you can find it with the find my iphone app!! Just kidding
DippinGrizzly907 27
OP: Hmm... Seems my phone is 22 fathoms under us... Dumb ass "friend": Like, how deep is a fathom again man?? OP: *facepalm* Why don't you find out buddy?!? And get my phone while you're at it!! *throws dummy overboard* OP: I feel better now

The case doesn't float but at least Nemo can play Candy Crush on your phone at the bottom of the sea.
gantoman 13
What if he has a password?
SrgntSprnkls77 15
What if he doesnt have one and finds his **** stache?
slingerslasher 24
Is a **** stache like a mustache made of ****?
glabberfasted 16
I thought **** stache was an Orange Is The New Black character
zAstonish 20
How the **** is Nemo gonna play Candy Crush on a PHONE CASE?
Corey122726 17
101, maybe you need to be tossed overboard and let us all know how Nemo will play it on "A PHONE CASE"
Amy_000 12
#14 Mabye the phone has a password but at least nemo can take selfies
BecauseIAmBatman_fml 22
#101, one would assume the phone was attached to the case.
sorryheadphones 26
You need better friends, or at least smarter ones
