Today, while taking pictures by the pool, my friend wanted to use my camera. I told her to put the wrist strap on so it wouldn't fall into the pool. She dropped the camera while trying to put the strap on. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I dropped my camera down 4 flights of circular stairs from the top of a lighthouse. Everything worked, it just had a few dents. Then, as I went to put it in my pocket, I missed. It fell 3 feet and hit the floor. Now it won't turn on. FML
Today, I was being pulled into a pool by my girlfriend. To avoid ruining my phone, I tossed it into one of the chairs behind me. I missed and it landed into the hot tub behind it. FML
Today, my friend and I decided to go skinny-dipping in her pool just after we'd finished watching a scary movie. While we were in the pool, I heard something move in the bushes so I freaked out and ran onto the deck, slipping and falling flat on my back. Her dad saw the whole thing. FML
Today, I was tasked with taking a photo of my best friend getting engaged. As her boyfriend got down on one knee, I got so nervous that I fumbled the camera. It landed right in the lake. I didn’t get a single picture, and now I owe them a new Canon EOS R10. FML
Today, I dropped my camera into water. The good news is that it's waterproof. The bad news is I dropped it off London Bridge. All the pictures and videos of my four-month trip around Europe were on it. FML
Today, while I was out of the house, my 6 year old brother stole my new waterproof camera, dunked it into the toilet holding onto the wrist strap, and flushed repeatedly to see if it lived up to its "waterproof promise." It didn't. FML
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, I forgot to take my phone out of my bathing suit pocket before I went into the pool. It's not a high-end phone, so that's not why FML. The FML part is because I was on vacation, didn't have internet access, and the phone has no external memory card, so all the pictures I took while on vacation are lost. FML
Today, my boyfriend threw me into his pool. I had my phone and iPod in my pockets. FML
Today, as I stepped into the shower, I slipped and fell over the edge of the tub, pulling the shower curtain down with me. I called my roommate to help me up as I put on a towel over me. But before she could help me up, she grabbed her phone to take a picture. The picture became a mass text. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ohhh the irony...

^this fml isn't ironic...

Actually, this FML exactly exemplifies a dictionary definition of irony, seeing as the thing meant to prevent the dropping of the camera is the very thing that caused it.

121, you would get new friends solely based on the fact that 'one' dropped your camera. You must be a joy to hang around!

It's just a camera. Not really a fml.

Even though OP's camera most likely isn't one, some Hasselblads will run you like $20k It is never *just* a camera.
BeeSkwaird 0
I don't get it; the FML clearly states the friend was already taking pictures. Why did she want to switch to the OP's camera??
BeeSkwaird 0
"While taking pictures by the pool, my friend..." Either the OP needs a lesson in the English language, or the friend was taking pictures by the pool when she asked the OP for her camera.

#56, it makes sense... The OP was using her(?) camera to take photos by the pool, then a friend asked to borrow it so she could take some, too. I don't see what you thought was wrong. :S

Ah, the infamous dangling participle. Do they even teach that anymore?
BeeSkwaird 0
We can assume, #62, but that's not what the post *says.* DocBastard gets it.
xXLenaXx 0
Well, it reads that way too. You're being too pedantic, it's just an FML. :P
skittle68 0
I'm 24 and they taught me that. I wonder if anyone pats attention to that anymore tho :( Plus I went to a pretty decent school. At least, MN's schools were still decent when I was there... No child left behind and all that crap was before my time
xXLenaXx 0
Because of you, I now hover over "pedantic" for a full 5 minutes, convincing myself it's misspelled, and it should, in fact, be "pendatic". DAMN YOU, you ruined my mind! *shakes fist*
BeeSkwaird 0
Hahahaha! Sweet.

You're all leaving out the most obvious clue: OP is a girl with access to the internet, who was taking pictures by a pool. Considering the likelihood that these were bikini pics intended for facebook, they'd want pictures of *themselves* on their own respective cameras. Logic dictates that OP had her friend's camera, and the friend had hers. Disclaimer: This is obviously assuming there were no public bathroom mirrors nearby, but that's just a given-- we're all on FML, so of course we know that's always the preferred setting for scantily-clad internet "portraits."

Grammar nazi! "while taking pictures by the pool is a participial phrase. The noun that follows must be the one being described. "my friend" wasn't taking pictures by the pool when he decided that he wanted to use op's camera.

#8 - It doesn't say she dropped the camera into the water.
kyliebear 15
It wouldn't be mentioned that it was near the pool or would be really an FML if it didn't drop into the water..
