Today, my roommate was making a waterproof iPhone case and decided to use my phone to test it out. It didn't work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I let my sister use my phone to play music in the shower, expecting her to use the speakers I have. She used a ziplock bag with a hole in it to connect her headphones. Now I have a waterlogged phone and my sister still doesn't understand why it didn't work. 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, 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, I bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. 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 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 learned the reason they say don't keep your phone in high humidity places. I left my phone on the counter when I went to take a shower. It now won't turn on due to water damage and the warranty doesn't cover it. FML
Today, I bought a new phone. It's shock proof, water proof, you name it. Just not kitten proof, it seems. That's $400 down the drain. FML
Today, my youngest decided my phone needed a bath in the toilet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

water you doing thinking that the toilet is the best response, I say they put it in some dog poo then force the roomie to wash it, with water. The new innovative thing to do.

Roommate made case to be tested. Roommate wanted to use OPs phone incase it didn't work. OPs phone got ruined by roommate. OP needs to make roommate buy a new one or destroy roommates phone.

Have them buy you a new one or for the time being, take theirs.

And if they refuse, test the water proof effectiveness of their face against water boarding

That deserves a throat punch.

I agree, punch them in the face just to prove you are right.

Samsung Galaxy is already waterproof. Take it as a sign to ditch the iphone and upgrade to something better.

While I agree they should switch over, not all of them are waterproof, this is coming from someone who owns the S5 Active, the newer model of this phone is garbage. three reasons; 1. They removed the rubber layer that acts as a bouncy case and protects the battery compartment. 2. I've dropped it many times, and the flimsy plastic around the edges began to crack and tear, also, the back compartment where the battery is stored is easily detached upon dropping from regular height (pocket to ground). 3. The camera that faces you is complete garbage I will admit, but the front camera is amazing. Overall though the phone is pretty cool.

Not everyone wants to have a phone that is wider and longer. I am perfectly happy with my 5s that fits perfectly in the tech pockets of the pants and shorts I own, where my sons galaxy s5 won't fit in those pockets.

All of the Sony Xperia phones are waterproof, well most are. It works better than Samsung, and you can get the compact version which is the same specs but a slightly smaller battery and screen, looks better than Samsung too :)

no phone is water"proof" they are all only water resistant, if it was waterproof then the phones wouldn't even have a single possibility of getting water damaged, but if you leave the cover out of 1 of the ports in any phone and you drop it in water you have a water damaged phone

Studies show iPhone users have more sex.* *totally not funded by Apple

Invest in an idiot-proof case next time.
