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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Flush their phone down the toilet in response.

Now you should make a "waterproof" mask and test it on your roommate.

Easiest way is to put in a plastic bag but won't protect your phone

YDI... This remind me of the kid who threw his brand new Apple Watch on the ground and expected it to come out unscathed (screen shattered)... and got pissed when it didn't live up to his standard of durability. "Testing" in science and the real world, is always done on other things before the final test on the actual subject... (As in the reason they test on animals before human trails, or build a model plain before building a real one). I'm all for experimentation and learning from your mistakes, I messed with the electronics in my car, and had over a thousand dollars in damages (from two separate incidences)... I don't know if you can afford a new phone, but if you can't afford for your experiments to fail, don't try... make sure you know what you're doing, make sure things work before hand... the prep work will save you so much pain and money.

Did you notice where it said the roommate tried? It means that it was done without permission. No where in this post says that the op agreed to it.

Please tell use how it is op's fault when the roommate was the one who did it.

What kind of phone does your roommate have? I'm sure there's a market for a fireproof case for it. Maybe try out a few prototypes.

Ironically she must own a Samsung!
