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?)

Shouldn't have used your phone in class and should've got insurance on the phone

iPhone's don't actually give 'normal' insurance...... Yeah, they are a bit nuts on that topic.

AT&T just released a normal insurance for iPhones in January. You had a month to sign up for it if you had had your phone for a while.

Great. An of course they didn't advertise. -_-; I don't go to an AT&T store or watch TV... They could have sent me an email. :(

Why is everyone saying the teacher should pay for it? If OP didn't have it out the teacher wouldn't have taken it and dropped it. YDI

Because that's an additional punishment that the student did not deserve. There's a certain degree of punishment that should be exacted for any rule or law broken. The punishment was: confiscation of the phone not destruction of the phone. It's like executing someone for stealing a loaf of bread. Yes it may be wrong, but the punishment is overboard. And for all u know the student simply forgot to turn it off and didn't mean to break the rule, which is a mistake I've seen teachers make all the time as well.

The destruction was not a punishment though. It was a shit happens. It wasn't done on purpose so it can't be considered part of it. While I feel for op it still stands to reason that they put their phone in the situation to get damaged by using it when they shouldn't have been. Sometimes shit happens and it sucks. People need to stop blaming the world for accidents.

I'm sure the teacher didn't break it on purpose.

it wasn't an accident, it was negligence. school is liable (not the teacher directly)
Pacifica1165 13
But if the teacher does not pay for the damage, then it is basically as though they are accepting it as a consequence of the student's mistake, which in turn is basically a punishment, or treating it as a punishment. In this way the teacher is overstepping his/her boundary; it was an accident but it was still a fault just as the OP's mistake mightve been an accident for all we know. Of course I admit that this really does depends on ur PoV then.
