Today, my history teacher confiscated my iPhone. She dropped it on the way back to her desk, and I now have a shattered iPhone screen to fix. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I shattered my iPhone screen. Pieces of glass are chipping out and can easily slice up any idiot who slides their finger across the screen. Unfortunately, I was that idiot. There's blood in the cracks of my screen. FML
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, to keep my phone safe while I went on some rides, I took it out of my pocket so I could put it in my bag. Just as I pulled it out, a woman ran into me, knocking my phone to the ground and breaking the screen. FML
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. 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, during one of my first days as a teacher, a student stole my phone. FML
Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Make sure she pays for that

You probably could make her pay for it. Sure you weren't supposed to be using it in class, but that deserved confiscating, not BREAKING. (Also don't they have cases and stuff that you can get so that kind of shit doesn't happen? Otter box or something?)

yeah. but google took over the android market, so in while that would probably be spoiled with ads, so they both have disadventages.

Last I checked, iPhones are only for Facebook, Twitter, texting, and Angry Birds, so you shouldn't have been using it in class.

What about music?

Textbooks are available on iPhone and iPad. A book on an iPhone is a damn joke.

Last I heard, iPhones (and any kind of phone to be exact) could be for emergencies. That's why I have teachers that allow students to use phones in class when if they think that there is an emergency.

Pacifica - Do yourself a favour. Go find a dictionary (dictionary.com will do) and look up "sarcasm".

I used to bring my phone in class all the time in university to go on Logmein and have access to my computer for PwP and notes. You can even use Apple Bluetooth keyboard to takes notes if you don't wanna bring your laptop !

I use mine I class (I'm in college now) to add exam dates and homework assignments to my calendar and stuff like that. I also use my calculator on it all the time. After I graduated high school, they changed the rules so that you could have a phone in class of it was on airplane mode since so many people use them as their calendars.

Last time I checked iPhones were for texting about not playing angry birds. #worstgameever

I would have gave her a piece of my mind along with the iPhone shattered glass.

YDI for sure. Maybe you should start following rules.

Maybe OP was. I had a teacher who would take away your phone if he knew you had one. I never uses my phone in class yet It was taken away almost everyday. So I know it might not be the case, but OP could've been following the rules.

Have the school board pay for it. I made my school board pay when a teacher got my phone stolen from her class.
alycion 39
Yes. Make her pay for it. I'm sure she broke it on purpose when taking it away because you were doing something you shouldn't have. Sucks it broke. But to everyone screaming make her pay and not being sarcastic, umm really?
AmbrosiaWriter 17
Umm, yes, really. It doesn't matter if it was an accident, it was still her clumsiness that resulted in the phone being broken. Are you saying that if your friend borrowed something of yours and broke it, especially something expensive, like a phone or car, you wouldn't make them at least HELP you pay for damages? Must be nice to have such disposable income, but you don't have to prove intent to make someone pay for the damages that they caused.

not like it matters anyway... teachers arent held responsible for anything that they drop. a teacher could lose a phone or headphones and not have to replace it or anything because, sadly, they cant get in any trouble for it at all...

In my job if I damage something of a customers I have to pay to fix it I dont see why a teacher would be any different
alycion 39
If I accidentally broke something I'd offer to help replace it because it's the right thing to do. If someone accidentally broke something of mine I would not demand it if I was at fault as well. No, I do not have that kind of disposable income which is why I'm careful with my stuff. Including not using things where they shouldn't be in use. Maybe I'm just getting old but why do people need phones in school anyway? If there is an emergency, parents can always call the school. I know everyone has them and that's great. But get use to not taking it out every five minutes. Some jobs will fire you for it

The point is. Regardless of the op being at fault for using it during class the teacher had a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of the phone. They failed in that. Regardless of what's ethically right in this situation they can legally peosecute or demand repayment

Did she say anything about texting people? Maybe she was switching pockets or looking fer something else from the same pocket! :P

YDI for using it in class. If you hadn't been breaking the rules in the first place, she wouldn't have confiscated your phone.
