Today, my drunk uncle threw my brand new iPhone 3GS into my pool, ruining it completely. When I asked him to pay for the 600 dollar replacement cost, he said he wasn't responsible for his drunken actions. All of my family members are on his side. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my dad borrowed my new iPad to amuse him while he was in the shower without my knowledge. The iPad is now completely ruined, and my dad is refusing to buy me a new one. He says, "How was I to know that it wasn't waterproof?" FML
Today, my brother got mad at me for breaking the screen on his phone. He'd already dropped it so many times that the whole screen was cracked to the point that you couldn't see anything on it, but for some reason, I am fully responsible for its destruction because I accidentally delivered the finishing blow. FML
Today, my boyfriend threw me into his pool. I had my phone and iPod in my pockets. FML
Today, my drunk sister came in my room at 2 in the morning, sat on the side of my bed, fell off, knocked over my glass of water, which ruined my new phone, then got angry at me for getting angry with her. She then slammed my door, which made all the photo frames smash to the ground. FML
Today, I bought lunch for my grandparents, aunts, and uncles. My uncle apparently felt uncomfortable at the restaurant, because he got up and flipped the table over before leaving. The bill tripled because of the broken glass, and my uncle called me up later for a ride. FML
Today, I got home from a week-long vacation with my friend's family. When I got back home, I found the garage door had been completely demolished. My uncontrollably drunk dad blamed me. I don't even drive. FML
Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. 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, my uncle stole my cousin's phone to take a picture of me. He then sent said picture to my cousin's boyfriend, saying that she'd been cheating on him with me for over a year. He's been cheated on before and is hysterical. My uncle then had the nerve to act all defensive when my cousin and I exploded at him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get drunk and drive his car into the lake. Problem solved, after all you can't take responsibility for your drunken actions.

Most of you people piss me off..."YDI for having a $600 dollar phone" no he don't, maybe it was a gift, maybe it was for work, maybe he just felt like spending some of his own hard earned money on himself as a treat. And then there's "YDI for leaving it unattended with your family" they are his family you freakin idiots...Maybe all of your families steal all of your shit, but not everyones does, I feel comfortable leaving my stuff around my family, and until something like this happens, I will do. If you break his shit, you will get arrested, revenge is not a good defence in any court, best thing you can do, is try and talk to him about it, and if he still refuses to pay up, talk to the police.

Alienating your family is going to cost you far more than $600 in the long run, unless you are from a family of hill-billies, as are apparently a lot of commenters on this thread, who think there is something inappropriate about a $600 piece of technology. Suck it up. Move on.

Really? Would you just suck it up and move on if somebody ruined something of yours that you spent your hard-earned money on? If this family is siding with his uncle on this, they aren't worth keeping a relationship with. This guy should not just "suck it up and move on"! If he does that, he'll allow his family to walk all over him in the future. Don't listen to this guy, OP! Fight for your right to your possessions!

Fighting over a $600 piece of metal and plastic is more important than preserving family relationships? Families fights can take decades to overcome. Meanwhile you may have lost access to your best potential investors, business leads, social contacts, etc. Sure the uncle is an ass, and you should tell him that he needs to treat his alcholism. But invest in your own future by rising above it and setting a better example. If it was some random drunk asshole at a party I would be first in line at the small claims court myself.
