Man this thread doesn't speak well of the build quality of apple shit.
I've never broken any of my phones and have dropped them from all kinds of heights on all kinds of surfaces hundreds of times.

Item: A scooter
Age: Brand new! (back then)
Cost: about 350 euros to get the panels replaced.
How: Me and a friend used to race our little 25 cc old style bikes (not modern scooters) around a lot in the woods and gravel roads where we used to spend the summer.
One day he got a brand new scooter, I was having a go, but it was end of summer and the trees were shedding these fuzzy caterpillar like seeds.
And the scooter's brakes were reversed compared to the old bikes...

Well you can see where this is going:p
Wrong brake out of habit on a patch of fuzzes as I'm turning it around.
Had luckily slowed down enough before hitting the patch, but the front wheel still went sweeping out from under me... couldn't hold it and it skid across the floor with it's right side for a few feet.

Lots of panel scratches, but no damage to me.
I felt so bad that I scratched his new bike, but he didn't even care.
Paid him back from my savings/allowance (this was 11 years ago).

Considering all the stupid shit we used to do and that this is the only expensive thing I ever broke or damaged, I've been lucky.
 
Item : Icemat mouse pad
Age : Brand new, like 1 day
Cost : ~$100 (today)
How : An icemat doesn't deserve to exist since it's a horrible product (mouse pad made of glass). I had to smash it, it wasn't even mine. I have no regrets and I'd do it again.
 
Item: Playstation 1
Cost: around £200 (not sure)
Duration: 1 hour :(
How: had a drink next to the PS and a friend accidently knocked it over while he was changing the game.
 
Item : 4GB Zune
Age : I had it about 3 years or so.
Cost : I would say somewhere between $150-200. It was a gift.
How : We were getting ready to leave to Utah to visit my Grandfather and I went out back to make sure our dogs had food and water. I thought I had buttoned up my shirt's pocket, but as I leaned over to grab the water bowl, I watched my Zune slip out of my pocket into the slobbered filled water.

Then to add onto that I let my siblings use my headphones since my Zune was out of commission and they broke them3 on the same day. I had some HD Headphones and I don't remember how much I spent on those.
 
This was a couple years ago now.

Item: Toshiba Laptop
Age: 1 Year (at the time)
Cost: $650
How: Tried to install Windows 7 but it didn't work, learned the motherboard was incompatible and I had to flash the bios, system froze up during the update (sat there for 2 hours). It wouldn't even post anymore, totally fucked.

I just ended up getting a new laptop FINALLY about 2 months ago since my finances were screwed up for awhile.

Why is occidentally cursive? You think he had a motif for deliberately destroying your stuff? If so, why is he your friends?
