Today, I dropped my 400 dollar cell phone on the floor by mistake and it shattered into a million pieces. A woman passing by looked at the phone and said, "Now that's what you call a dropped call!" and laughed. FML

YDI for buying a $400 glass phone and not having enough sense to buy a case for it.

#212 - On 11/11/2009 at 5:34pm by Cant_Touch_This_

well clutz ydi

#217 - On 03/02/2010 at 10:23pm by jason2468

Ooh, that sucks
Refund?
xD

#2 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:34pm by webkinzfreak96

your waisting money if your phone shatters just by being dropped once, i have a 350 dollar phone and i drop it often and it works fine

#3 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:34pm by slash1396

Yeah Ive never heard of a phone that expensive shattering from a short drop. Ive had friends drop iPhones and Blackberrys and at most they ended up with a cracked screen (which is usually an easy fix).

Next time at least get a protective case ;)

#15 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:45pm by SOMAgirl

Maybe it wasn't a short drop. Or it could have just landed on something sharp? Or on the edge? Who knows.

You're right, a couple bucks on a case would have saved you a whole lot of money in the long run, but hey, its your money.

#77 - On 11/04/2009 at 9:52pm by Sun_Kissed18

A phone this expensive shouldn't break because of a short fall (I assume it fell out of the pocket or hand)...They either ripped you off or it was bad luck.

That woman is hilarious!

#130 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:49am by Subtext

Clearly, you don't have friends with the iPhone. All you need to do to break that phone is drop it from no more than 3 feet and you've got a front row seat to the anatomy of modern day electronics

#146 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:00am by Okie7123

Actually, #146, the iPhone isn't as hard to break as you seem to think. I'm an iPhone owner and I drop my phone almost daily. Once I dropped my phone on asphalt while walking to my car after class and cracked the screen. I easily replaced the screen myself since it wasn't covered under warranty. I've dropped it puddles of water twice, a glass of iced tea once and glass of soda once. I'm sure I've done other stuff to it too. Guess what? It still works as well as it did the day I got it. And I don't use a case. I don't intend on using one, either. Some day I'll do something to my phone that'll kill it completely and I'll just use that as an excuse to get the new iPhone that I really want.

Also, I must add, that I have numerous friends with the iPhone as well. A couple of them have managed to crack the screen, but aside from that their phones are fine too.

#150 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:42am by killerrr

Well, so if you are a businessman traveling every day, you buy
a navigation system for $200
a Netbook/Notebook for at least $200 for checking mails
a UMTS-Stick for at least $50 for getting online
an organiser for getting your calender managed for at least $100

If you want to play some 3D-games, you buy a PSP for at least $150
A MP3-Player with some GB of memory for $50
Maybe something to watch videos while driving - >$100
Oh, maybe also something that warns you about radar traps - don't know, at least $50?
Oh, and yes, a mobile phone to call your friends using your Bluetooth headset - $40 ;)


Just some points why buying a phone for $400 could be a good move ;)

#160 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:19am by Compufreak

how the fuck do you drop your iphone into a glass of soda?

#165 - On 11/05/2009 at 10:18am by killadelphia215

exactly!! I have a blackberry storm, and I have dropped it a few times... but unlike the op i have a protective case for it.... I have broken the case already, but i bought a new one... the phones still in perfect shape :)

#172 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:15pm by simplyapril

I'm with you #174...$400 on a phone! WTF Who are you calling, MARS? URANUS!? My cheapie phone has taken falls, baths, beatings, bitings and still works good! Get over it.

#175 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:23pm by ThatsFunnyFunny

bitings? uhmm :

#179 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:33pm by suckishfather

my 1 year old used it as a teething toy

#181 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:48pm by ThatsFunnyFunny

awesome! I gotta use that one

#4 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:35pm by Butcher_1419

Pat this woman on the back for making a joke! Then feel free to punch her in the face.

#5 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:35pm by Tequilamockngbrd

You sir win.

#30 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:12pm by McMan

you and anyone else saying to hit her is a douche.
fuck off and die.

her comment was funny, albeit cheesy and lame, but i dont see what exactly you expected from her. its not like she can magically fix your glass phone. damn fml retards.

#63 - On 11/04/2009 at 9:23pm by organisedchaos

Meh, FML ate my comment, but it'll probably pop up later.

Organisedchaos, please learn to take a joke. Even if the joke isn't as hilarious as the one from the FML, there's really no need to resort to insults and name-calling. It just makes you look silly.

#72 - On 11/04/2009 at 9:40pm by Tequilamockngbrd

#63, telling people to fuck off and die definitely makes you look rather like a douche. just sayin.

#82 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:10pm by asafetybuzz

Why is it that so many people in today's society use the word retard? Really, what makes it acceptable? #63, I understand where you are coming from, but do you really need to throw that word out there? It's not funny, and it doesn't make you look like the big-bad guy on this website, it just makes you purely rude.

#89 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:31pm by Hairpastafreckle

@72, perhaps this one was, but surely they cant all be telling the same crap joke...and it was addressing everyone who made such ridiculous statements. this one was just closest to the top. by the way, it fails as a joke.

@82 if you say so.

@89, but thats exactly what i want to be, rude. why would i want to appear to be the big bad guy? thats fucking RETARDED. oh and i realise its not funny, i dunno maybe you subscribe to this "hit her" is a hilarious "joke" group, but to me that and the word 'retard' are humour free.

#137 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:11am by organisedchaos

Well, sir, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I don't agree with it and you don't agree with my joke, so I suppose we're even. We have different senses of humor, which is just a part of life. :] It's just a shame you told me to "fuck off and die" though; you lost a lot of credibility there. I'm tempted to insult your intelligence the same way you insulted mine, but that would be a rude, immature thing to do.

I'm not entirely sure why my joke offended you so much though. This already happened. It's not like OP is going to read through the comments, see mine, and say, "What a great idea! I'll find this woman and clock her right in the face!" If I was seriously trying to encourage violence against cheesy joke-makers, I wouldn't do it on Fmylife.com. Just throwing that out there.

#163 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:18am by Tequilamockngbrd

Sorry, did you miss where I stated that I knew where you were coming from #137? I know that abuse is not a matter to joke around with, which is why I do not support it, and I also do not support the use of the word retard. There are much more acceptable words that you could use to come across as rude. But retard is so unbelievably offensive. In my mind, using the word retard is just a bad as using the words homo, gay, fag, etc. It is just an absolutely horrible thing to say or call someone. So please, just shut the hell up.

#184 - On 11/05/2009 at 5:57pm by Hairpastafreckle

i regularly use the words homo gay fag and any other word i deem appropriate at the time. you whinging about it isnt going to change that.

#194 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:11pm by organisedchaos

Oh, hypocrisy... :]

#200 - On 11/06/2009 at 11:30am by Tequilamockngbrd

She failed at trying to make a witty remark. and I'm sorry about your phone!

Hell yeah... That shit was not funny.. you shoulda fucked her up.... and then ran..

#27 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:04pm by i_got_it

She also laughed at her own joke when no one else did. So, yeah, she deserved pain.

#50 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:55pm by Corey_Helfand

same shit diff day, go get a new one booo whooo.
baby, u would come on fmylife.com sigh

#7 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:37pm by Mx_Rider

That's sad... not the emotional way.. go and buy a cheepass Nokia phone.. fell out of my pocket 1 time and fell 2 stories before it hit some pottery (the clay bottom of indoor plant things) and went onto the floor... it worked fine.

#8 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:38pm by Krankie

she is really, really mean (though i did lol at this one) I probably would have just said "ouch, hope it wasn't too expensive" and walked away

#9 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:39pm by aroymart

Rum up to her steall her phone smash it on the floor and say the same thing

#10 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:39pm by tuga2

HAHAHHAH that lady was awesome.

#11 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:39pm by Polionixon

Hate to say it, but YDI for being pretentious and buying such an expensive phone.

#14 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:41pm by JulzKay

Fuck AT&T!

I'll bet they send out poltergeists, demons and fairies to knock your phone out of your hand to make you buy a new one, with "insurance."

Everyone says they have the most dropped calls.

#16 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:47pm by perdix

hahahhaha!!!!! ughhhh, its soo true!! sighh... i, an ex-verizon customer, switched to at&t just for the new iphone and the service sucks ass!! im in love with my iphone! what to do? sighhh.... :/

#123 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:47am by omghehehe

Just jailbreak it and you can use it on Verizon's network if you switch. I actually prefer AT&T over Verizon and T-Mobile. Verizon treats you like a dirty whore, then pimp slaps you and takes your money. They charge you for the most random of things.

#145 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:53am by nokillnobeepbeep

jail break it? does that mean break my contract? :D i must sound pretty naive! ohhhh ok, despite losing money on this, thats an idea. i will have to look into it. hmm, thanks! :) yeah, i heard about the charges too but i never had that happen to me. all i know is, i never had any problems before and could talk in places no other ppl could :) miss that

#152 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:52am by omghehehe

ugh i know what you mean i have tmobile right now and the service sucks
and the phones are really expensive and they break so easily
like i dropped my phone three feet above the ground cuz it fell out of my hands (im really short)

#177 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:29pm by xxlostinspacexx

1. Unless you have a mobile made of glass, it's unlikely to "shatter" unless you drop it from more than one story.
2. YDI for not buying a protective cover.

#18 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:50pm by youEQUALtosser

Not real, phones can't shatter like that, even if it's a phone made of thin plastic that can't happen! It may get dents and not work and stuff but it CANNOT shatter into millions of pieces!

#19 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:51pm by i_stay_anonymous

"Looks like somebody"...(puts on sunglasses) "has a dropped call." YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

That was actually a clever one-liner. Sorry about your phone, but the lady's pretty badass.

#20 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:54pm by itak365

and then "Bad to the Bone" played as the lady walked away

I read it in Horatio's voice for a second. Makes the FML sound way funnier.

#40 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:26pm by itak365

Christ i_stay_anonymous, of course it can't shatter into a million pieces, it's just a manner of speech. Still, a $400 dollar phone that breaks with a single fall is an epic steal. -.-

#21 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:55pm by PhoenixElite

Then you push her in front of a speeding truck and yell, "Now that's what you call roadkill.."

guffaw gaffaw

and then the cops show up and say "Now that's what you call freeze or burn.."

ohhooohaha-ha

and then..

#25 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:02pm by mercyFML

I can't believe I laughed at that!!!! haha
oh and sucks about your phone! I've droped mine TONS of times and it never shattered! *it's pretty expensive too....*

#26 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:03pm by brownies

I woulda turned around and given her a high five lol.

#29 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:07pm by spazz666

In the face?

#52 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:59pm by Tequilamockngbrd

I have a $200 phone that fell down a staircase made of cement and suffered only a few scratches. Unless you have a phone made of thin sheets of glass, I find this story dubious.

#31 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:14pm by cthulhu1138

That was pretty good.
FYL about your cellphone.

#33 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:14pm by McMan

My cell phone was free with my plan and it doesn't shatter when I drop it. You fail at life.

#34 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:15pm by Sock

I have to admit that joke is funny but still, FYL.

#35 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:18pm by LeeIsAwesome

I drop my cellphone all the time, and it breaks into pieces. But I just pop the pieces back together (keypad, battery and battery cover) and it's good as new. Are you sure it's BROKEN, and not just fallen apart? Did you even try to put it back together?

#38 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:25pm by birds

Cell phones are battle-tested. They should be able to withstand being dropped a few times. YDI for having a glass phone.

BTW was that woman hot? She sure sounds sassy enough.

#39 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:25pm by jonny2x4

dang sucks about the phone but i gotta that was a really clever comment. one badass lady right thurrr

#41 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:28pm by kayy23

Wow. That sounds like something I would say... Your fault for not protecting your phone if it was that fragile. Get a Nokia brick. They're INDESTRUCTIBLE.

#42 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:34pm by BeanieBaby

Simple - don't drop your phone next time. YDI

#43 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:37pm by lostfaithinpppl

yeah sometimes thats not that easy.. phones fall, but they dont SHATTER... all she needs is a protective case... only way it can shatter is if a sledge hammer or a crane went through her phone... I drop mine ALL the time, and it doesnt have a scratch or dent, but than again i have a protective case :D

#173 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:24pm by simplyapril

hahahaha!!! i'm sorry but that's funny....what the lady said was anyways...hope you had insurance...

#44 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:42pm by Poetic_Laydii

YDI for spending 400 dollars on a phone.

#45 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:42pm by pshnoway

@45, you're just jealous because you can't afford a 400 dollar phone.

#81 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:09pm by DogFun

deserved. $400 for a phone that shatters... sad.
could have bought 3 Nokia's and tossed them against the walls to test the strongest.

#153 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:11am by SamIsSoaked

Do you have a glass phone or something?

See, now that's just good humor.

#47 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:48pm by awesomelylame

400 dollars on a phone? Man that's crazy. Talk about a waste. You could have bought 400 dollars worth of toilet paper and saved yourself years of butt wiping.

#68 - On 11/04/2009 at 9:31pm by mrlucky4444

Wow, you were ripped off. That phone should be just as durable as a cheap one; in fact, it should be more so. Unless you dropped that thing from the 40th floor balcony, it should be just fine (with maybe a few scratches or dents).

Go. Get your money back.

#69 - On 11/04/2009 at 9:33pm by CyclonePsycho

If you bought the phone without a warranty, YDI. How does such an expensive cell phone break so easily? I have an iPhone that's dropped to the floor more than once and it doesn't have a scratch. Also, saying "floor" implies someplace indoors; and a woman passing by saw you drop your cell phone? Ha!
So a woman broke into your house and watched you drop your $400 cell phone which shattered into a million pieces? Get your story straight!

#70 - On 11/04/2009 at 9:36pm by MermaidSongXOXO

there are public places that are indoors! (i.e. the mall, restaurants, the grocery store)

I'm going to go ahead and say... Fake

#98 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:57pm by Hanez10

AHAHAHAHA!! I would laugh too! You know why? Because she said something FUNNY! AND having SUCH an expensive phone, I would have a solid warranty on it and get a new one! So YDI for spending that kind of money on a phone without a warranty.

#99 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:58pm by JessiGoose

Please explain how you figured from this FML that this person doesn't have a warranty on their phone.

Even if they did have warranty and even though the joke the woman made was funny, breaking a phone still sucks because most of the time you have to wait to get a new phone shipped to you after you file a claim. Hell, unless the phone breaking was a manufacturing defect, something like this wouldn't be covered under warranty so this person might be out of a phone until they can buy a new one. Also, you lose all the texts, photos, videos and such that were on the old phone.

#151 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:51am by killerrr

i have to say it's fake,
because no phone would "shatter", even though we all know the million pieces is an undersood exaggeration..
but at most it would crack, or if it's a flip, break in half. [/from someone who dropped a flip phone from a 2nd-story landing onto tile, and it was still intact ;D]

but if it is true, that lady is amazing, just sayin'

YDI for having a $400 cell phone that isn't even durable. My phone was $100 when I got it (EnV, got it about 7 months ago), and I've dropped it countless times, and even had it fall, bounce, and slide on rock, concrete, and tiles. It's only got a few scratches on it.

#101 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:01pm by alex_vik

Haha I see what she did there! ;p

#102 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:02pm by DynamicDave

Who goes out and buys a 400 dollar cell phone? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA mine is 60 and it's better than your dropped call

#103 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:07pm by hellokimmiee

have a sense of humor. and don't post this to fmylife

#104 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:09pm by thebigone

hi5 to that lady for her comment. sorry for u

#105 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:14pm by mrzero

If you're looking for a phone, you should seriously get an LG Shine (Slide).
They are literally indestructable.
I've dropped mine ALL the time, and it's in amazing condition (save for a couple scratches!)

#106 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:27pm by scince220

Terrible pun

#107 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:34pm by emepar

I hate people like you don't cry overspilled milk and buy a damn case your life sucks sure but that's why they make insurance for phones get your headbout of your ass and do something to prevent that. that woman is funny and she deserves to hit you for being so stupid. I would of laughed my ass off to see that happen and phones don't shatter like that. Dumbass.

#108 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:37pm by Houdeka

have you heard of exaggeration? fucking dumbass

#110 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:49pm by _20jre

awwwww, ur no fun =]

#138 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:17am by SiLvEr_070

OMG. " I miss rich I bought a 400 dollar cell phone and I'm gonna go brag about it on FML" pleaseee GO BUY A FCUKIN COVER idiot

#109 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:41pm by FMLmuchly

Are you three stories tall that your phone actually shattered when you dropped it?

#111 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:54pm by GreenHacker

A. That woman is awesomely lamely hilarious. B. Phones don't shatter if you just drop them, unless they're like, $50. You would have either had to drop it from an insanely epic height, or you would have had to slammed it onto the floor and/or thrown it.

#113 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:59pm by AndreaHatesYou1

lol you gotta give it to that lady that was pretty witty. And what kind of phone shatters to pieces? ive had free phones and $400 phones. the free phone are surpisingly more durable than the expensive ones but neither would "shatter"

#114 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:02am by tigerg33

ahhaa she's a funny one. you should have asked for her number... oh ya nevermind.FYL

#115 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:05am by ik_im_not_funny

Thanks for that one, srsly. I'm sick right now (probably swine, yay!) but that made me physically feel better. Thanks and sorry about the phone.

#116 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:11am by LadyGaGaRox

What phone shatters was it made of nothing but cheap glass?

#117 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:12am by cartrub

She just turned a fail into an epic win!

#119 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:21am by KiddNYC10

Did you pick up all of the 1-million pieces?
or can you just count that quickly and accurately?

#120 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:23am by yhw718

People really spend $400 on a cell phone?

#121 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:26am by Malfunkshun

I drop my iPhone often and it usually ends up fine! except for the one time on tile.. even then just a cracked screen and everything still worked!

#122 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:45am by raeannriley

Who spends $400 on a cell phone!?!?!? That's just stupid.... therefore, you deserve it!!!

#124 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:57am by dont_u_know_it

some people want to own an iphone or sidekick

#140 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:24am by tigerg33

what's the big deal? you must have Cricket.

#125 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:00am by srak

it's funny that you care more about the lady being optimistic, instead of trying to find a replacement phone. you didn't deserve it, but this isn't really a fml.

#127 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:04am by andreaco

Expensive phone is dumb for a couple reasons but FYL.
And kudos to that woman!!!

#128 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:42am by shelboo

Hahahahahahaha

#129 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:43am by Mortanious

I'm sorry to sound like a douche, but that's exactly the kind of thing I would have said. Either that or, "You know, I don't think you're supposed to do that."

#131 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:50am by Funkengine12

You know, I have never in my life gotten a phone that cost anything, let alone $400. I have had 3 perfectly good free-with-plan phones, and I have dropped them repeatedly, thrown them across the room, and I've never had anything break. The only thing that even remotely affected any of them was when i was at a beach with really fine sand on a super windy day, you can still feel that there is sand in every tiny seam on that one. but anyway. my phone does everything I want it to, and i'm not glued to it 24/7 like some people i know. So, pretty much I think I'm better off.

#132 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:53am by wearinsexypants

i would have told her to fuck off

#133 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:55am by thekingjoe90

wow, I didn't know 400dollar cell phones break into so many pieces. shit i didn't know they break at all.

#134 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:03am by KiddNYC10

I'd have called the lady out for confusing an action verb with a noun. You weren't calling anyone so it's just a dropped cell. Her attempt at being clever failed.

#135 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:03am by FlaminYawn

ps- I'm using 400 to buy a ps3 and a game today and I'd still have money leftover

#136 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:09am by KiddNYC10

/care

#139 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:20am by mrdecay

That woman deserves a medal
also
OP ydi for buying an iShit, I mean an iPhone

#141 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:32am by Jonno8825

iPhone costs $99 dipshit

#176 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:30pm by nice18

not where I live dumbarse

#213 - On 11/12/2009 at 1:22pm by Jonno8825

YDI for dropping $400 on a fucking phone. That's a damn waste of money whether it breaks or not.

#142 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:33am by C_Wicked27

agreed!

#143 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:43am by kindness

some people have a lot of disposable income. clearly you're not one of them.

#144 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:52am by RyeBreadBoy

My iPhone was $200 and well worth it, I can't imagine a phone getting any better than this. And I've dropped it from 5 feet and nothing happened. A phone that's $400 better have a dick sucking app.

#147 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:18am by FlaminYawn

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Made my day. Invest in a case next time, dumbass =D

#148 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:19am by midnight_rain

Nokia 3310. You can drop one from third floor and it still works.

#149 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:35am by TuucciZ

I laughed too. That's why it's called a joke. Oh, and buy a blasted case next time. Sheesh...

#154 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:25am by blastvortex

I really doubt your phone actually shattered. Phones don't do that. It might have cracked, but unless you were throwing it out the window from about 3ft up, it wouldn't 'shatter into a million pieces'

#155 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:28am by HappyCatIsHappy

Dude, you suck. What $400 phone shatters when you drop it 1-2 meters?
Go get a nokia 1100. IT'S GOT A FLASHLIGHT. THE BATTERIES LAST A WEEK. YOU CAN PLAY HOCKEY-SACK WITH IT. /facts and real stories.

#157 - On 11/05/2009 at 5:37am by santy22

haha OMG i luv how that woman just walked by and was like "now thats what you call a droped call" omg like PERFECT timing much? haha and btw OP..... maybe you should try not freekig buying phones that your not able to keep from getting broken. I recomend one of those plastic ones that you give to kids with pictures of like Elmo on them.

#159 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:57am by baby_gurl2405

What $400 cell phone would break when you drop it? :S

I've got an N97 and its 500 pound i've dropped it lots of time works fine :)

#161 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:28am by jakeJIGSAW

hahaha clever lady! btw sucks to be you

#162 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:04am by k1ng

if you do have an iPhone, YDI because you paid $400 for it. I have one and only paid $200 for it. and for those of you making fun on insurance, I bought insurance from Best Buy that covers EVERYTHING except if it is lost or stolen. That mean I can take those 100 pieces and they'll give me a new phone. :) YDI, again, for not checking out your options.

#164 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:36am by alove23

YDI for buying a $400 phone with no insurance.

#166 - On 11/05/2009 at 10:31am by DJ_Grim

Hahaha this is funny xD Good one xD

#167 - On 11/05/2009 at 10:31am by withered

"dropped call" lmao. That woman's got a pretty quick wit.

#168 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:29am by Nemephosis

wow I would have stabbed her....hard

#169 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:31am by scheeterla15

That sucks. Hopefully you had some sort of insurance, or can afford to replace it automatically. You might want to get a soft case or holster for your phone in the future. I've dropped my blackberry before but since it's always in the holster it's always okay.

#170 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:32am by turdburgers

your ENTIRE life is fucked isn't it? GTFO

#171 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:01pm by anonymous69

That's why you don't buy a $400 phone. If they break that easily, then they're pieces of crap and not worth it. I've dropped by cheapie little phone so many times on concrete and floors and it's still alive and kicking and has been for the 4 years I've had it. Be frugal. You don't need a $400 phone.

#174 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:33pm by YeahYeahYeah4

Now THAT'S what I call a New Yorker! 8D I love my people.

#178 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:54pm by TerraofDarkness

my phone cost $30 and i kicked it into a concrete wall. (by accident) It didn't break just a minor scratch.

#180 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:42pm by omgwhatanfml

are you sure you didn't throw it on the ground because your so-called girlfriend told you it was your dad?
gold stars to anyone who gets this

#182 - On 11/05/2009 at 5:05pm by roflcopter423

What, you think I'm stupid? I'm not a part of your system! My dad's not a phone. Duh!

#185 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:08pm by sharmicita

best song ever my favorite line: happy birthday to the ground

#187 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:36pm by roflcopter423

I am torn between "I'm an adult" and "You can't trust the system... MAN!"

#188 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:06pm by sharmicita

destroy her for making such a lame joke

#183 - On 11/05/2009 at 5:30pm by Sapphy

since when is dropping your phone on the floor not a mistake?

#186 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:14pm by jonsmith4233

You should have said "and that's what you call a bad joke"

#189 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:30pm by manami_chan669

Haha, YDI for buying shitty, overpriced phones. Hell, I dropped my Razr a billion times and it is still in one piece.

#190 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:17pm by zoffix

you serious brought a $400 phone and it "shattered into a million pieces" just by dropping it once? you sure there wasnt a cherry bomb or something strapped to it? if not you should be sueing you cell phone company for defective merchandise

#191 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:38pm by chyane_mommy

Why the hell would you pay $400 for a mobile phone? For that money it better make dinner and give me a back rub...

#192 - On 11/05/2009 at 10:09pm by roosterman187

was it a blackberry crackberry? haha
thoes phones dont last for shit.

#193 - On 11/05/2009 at 10:35pm by Wh0ababyy

that actually was pretty funny

#195 - On 11/06/2009 at 12:53am by btuwo

And people buy expensive things because its very psychological... makes you seem that important, that well off, and so on... lots of people do it.

#196 - On 11/06/2009 at 12:55am by btuwo

Zing!

#198 - On 11/06/2009 at 8:33am by muchhate

Learn to laugh at yourself and you will enjoy life much more. I would have laughed right along with that woman. What's done is done.

#199 - On 11/06/2009 at 10:49am by margie4peace

thats what you get for buying a $400 phone in the first place.... let alone one that is going to shatter when you drop it.... let alone not having any kind of protection for it... common

#201 - On 11/06/2009 at 2:19pm by jenniferyoung120

If that happened to me then,
1. I would slap her for laughing at the fact I broke my phone
2. Kick her because cheesy lines like that are annoying
3. I would punch her because I would generally be pissed off for breaking my phone.

#202 - On 11/06/2009 at 3:42pm by EatMyCrayonz

lol woman laughs at her own joke... you know you're cool when...

#203 - On 11/06/2009 at 3:43pm by 42billybob

haha you gotta admit it was kinda funny though. Thats what you get for buying a 400 dollar phone. Next time get some cheap shit so that when you break it you don't care.

#205 - On 11/07/2009 at 6:43pm by oreomon

I love how everyone says they would "hit, slap, kick, punch, etc..." the woman, but truth be told, no one would actually hit her.

#207 - On 11/08/2009 at 1:55am by joemk2012

Hahaha, kudos to that lady for thinking that up and actually saying that to you.

#208 - On 11/08/2009 at 5:58pm by whatthe_efff

LMAO.

#209 - On 11/08/2009 at 8:54pm by Mot_Bot

lmao that lady is a joke genius

#211 - On 11/09/2009 at 9:02pm by xclegend613

YDI for paying $400 for a phone!!!
YDI for getting a phone that was apparently made out of glass!!
YDI for exaggerating how many pieces the phone broke into, assuming it was fewer than 1,000,000.

Also, YDI for not thanking that lady for the best laugh I've had in a week! That pun is too hilarious to pass up, so I don't blame her. Imagine if she didn't say it to you, she would be itching to say it to the next person she saw but it still wouldn't have been as funny.

((As far as the phone comments go, my phone cost me $50 and it has survived many, many drops and the occasionally slam or throw into a wall. A previous phone of the same model stopped working after I dropped it one too many times, but it was still intact, and Virgin Mobile replaced it for free.))

So go ahead and keep buying your ridiculously expansive and ridiculously fragile "smart" phones and complain when you are careless enough to break a $400 piece of equipment. (I only own one thing worth that much; a guitar amp that I take VERY good care of.)

#214 - On 11/14/2009 at 11:28pm by InsomPsycho

damn Dude that sucks ! what kinda phone was it? I've dropped my iPhone several times. and I have no problems with it.

#215 - On 12/28/2009 at 2:15pm by louie111887

I'm sorry but that was funny. I hope you've got a warranty on that thing, otherwise FYL indeed.

#216 - On 01/31/2010 at 6:14pm by Sonalis

that's funny but i don't get it
