Usually, when we’re dropping a lot of money on something, it’s an exciting purchase. A brand new iPhone, a new car, a PlayStation5, or that top-of-the-line washing machine you’ve been dreaming about for months. You can’t wait to unbox it and christen it, but along with the excitement comes a tinge of anxiety. “What if I crack the screen?” “What if I spill water on it?” “What if someone scratches my door when parking next to me?” Unfortunately, nothing can stay new forever, and once something is out in the world, there are infinite ways to ruin it.
Below, we’ve gathered photos of some of the most tragic ways expensive items have been destroyed, and I’ll warn you right now, they might be painful to look at. But alas, all good things must come to an end, and for some reason, it seems like the purchases we cherish the most are the things that get demolished the fastest…
Be sure to upvote the pics that have convinced you to always purchase the optional insurance, and then if you’re interested in causing yourself even more pain, you can find a couple more Bored Panda articles featuring valuable items that have taken irreparable damage here and here!

So Much For That Expensive Cat Furniture
Baby Ducks In The Lake
I’m not proud to admit it, but I can relate all too well to these photos, pandas. The one time I bought jeans that weren’t from a thrift store and actually cost a decent amount of money, I managed to get 3 stains on them the first time I wore them. I’ve shattered 2 iPhones, one by dropping it onto a tiled bathroom floor and the other by dropping it down an entire flight of tiled stairs. When I was 16, after having my driver’s license for one month, I got into a fender bender with my very first car. I’ve shattered glasses and plates, left my car windows down during a thunderstorm and destroyed the screen of a laptop only one month after a new one was put on (because the old one also stopped working).
Call it bad luck, clumsiness or karma for something I did in a past life, but I could see some of my possessions ending up on a list like this in the future one day. Many of these photos are even more tragic than anything I’ve experienced, though. I feel for these people, but I also can’t help but laugh. We’re all capable of doing stupid things or making mistakes that we immediately wish we could take back. Whether it’s melting your kid’s PlayStation controllers or driving your truck into a lake, everybody has those days. The important thing is that we learn from our lessons, and perhaps ensure those valuables next time around.

If you’ve got some photos in your camera roll that would be right at home on this list, don’t feel bad. Many of us do. For example, did you know that every hour, 5,761 phone screens are cracked? That’s over 50 million phone screens a year. These are primarily caused by drops, according to CNBC, and apparently, companies are working hard to solve the issue of creating a great smartphone that won’t shatter when it slips out of your hand.
“Proving that a device is durable is essential to convince people to pay more for a phone,” Francisco Jeronimo, senior research director for European mobile devices at IDC, told CNBC. “Consumers are a lot more concerned about what happens to their phone and it being able to handle certain accidents. When people spend $1,000 on a cellphone, they don’t expect it to crack the first time they drop it on the floor.” But everyone wants a thin, sleek design for their device too, which makes creating a durable phone quite the challenging task.

Even if phones become more durable than they have been in the past, we can’t stop humans from being clumsy. And apparently, Americans in particular seem to have butter fingers when it comes to holding onto their cell phones. Swns Digital reports that 52% of Americans are “always” worried about their phones. And for good reason, because the average American drops their phone at least four times every week, with most breaks happening within 10 weeks of purchasing the phone.
“Gravity seems to be a constant challenge when it comes to our smartphones,” JP Brousseau, CEO of PhoneLoops.com, told Swns Digital. “Getting a protective phone case is the first step, but even that can’t always prevent damage to your phone if you drop it. A strap offers the simplest way to keep your grip, even one-handed – and that’s what Phone Loops provide.”

What Happens When You Drive Into A House
You'd have thought a semi truck ran into this. Not a toyota ( or at least i think thats a toyota by the looks of the logo) Edit: Thank you all for clarifying it is not a toyota but a BMW!!!
When it comes to some of the most common places where phones meet their untimely deaths, Swns Digital notes that they’ve been dropped in sewers, on the bathroom floors in bars, in hospital bathrooms, in port-o-potties, in pots of rice, in bowls of soup, in dog’s water bowls, in dumpsters, in beer cups and in trash cans. Personally, my biggest fear is my phone slipping out of my hand and sliding down a drain or through the cracks over a drain, never to be seen again. One in three Americans admitted to even dropping their phone right into the toilet. Beware of that dangerous back pocket! But apparently, nothing can convince us to be more cautious with our phones, because 76% of Americans say they would be completely lost if they were suddenly without a phone. Yet we continue to drop, shatter and destroy them all the time…

Phones aren’t the only electronic devices that are prone to having their life spans cut short, though. According to Secure Data Recovery, 38% of Americans have had to replace a laptop at some point in their lifetime due to one breaking. The most common laptop mishaps include dropping them, spilling a drink on them, cracking the screen, and needing to replace the battery. And these repairs aren’t cheap. On average, Americans spend about $534 on laptop repairs during their lifetimes. Certain states are also more reckless than others when it comes to their laptops, thought. In Nevada, New Hampshire, Maryland, Alabama and Mississippi, over 50% of laptop users admit to having broken one.

If you’re now scared of your laptop meeting an untimely death, it might be useful to be aware of some of the most common mistakes that lead to a broken laptop. According to Make Use Of, laptop users need to be mindful of keeping their devices cool and avoiding situations where they’re exposed to excess heat. Laptops have fans to expel internal heat, but if the fan gets blocked, it can be extremely dangerous. “Some react to this and will shut down automatically. But others will suffer through the heat as they slowly bake to death,” Make Use Of explains. “Furniture, carpets, and blankets are all surfaces that can wreak havoc on a laptop. Wherever you place your laptop, make sure the vent has a clear path to do its job. Even a pile of books that's too close to your laptop can cause problems if the air exhaust is blocked.”

20 Minutes After Closing The Sale Of My House The New Owners Sent Me These Photos
The moving company lifted my container too high and smashed through the wall. That siding is no longer produced so the entire house needs to be re-sided.
Years ago I was renting a house. The neighbor had sold his house. The night they closed a tree from my yard fell onto the house, destroying the central air conditioning unit and ripping a hole in the roof above the master bedroom. The new owners had owned it for less than 12 hours and had a structural insurance claim. Apparently if a tree falls on your house from a neighbors yard, it's not their responsibility.
Not their responsibility unless it can be proven that the tree was diseased or dead. Then it's negligence on the part of the tree owner.
Load More Replies...The moving company (if you picked one that was bonded and insured) will cover needed costs. If not, your homeowners should cover damage. It sucks.
The employee was let go after the insurance claim got to his bosses at the moving company.
And that isn't the only thing that would have to be "resided".

Another potential threat to your laptop is ruining its disk drive. Be careful not to rattle your device too much, or it might take damage and cost you your data. “You can reduce the risk of HDD failure by only adjusting your laptop gently and not moving it when running a program that frequently accesses the hard drive,” Make Use Of writes. “Treat your laptop gently, with no quick movements. Even if your computer has an SSD, you should know the signs of SSD failure to detect problems early.”

Aside from the actual laptop itself, it’s also important to take care of its cords and charger if you want to avoid purchasing any replacements. The cords are typically thin and easy to move, but they can only withstand so much stretching and contorting. “A common form of this issue occurs when someone wraps the cord over some other object to keep it bundled. Sometimes that object has sharp edges, which cut into the cord,” Make Use Of explains. “And this isn't just for obvious blunders like knives; a hard plastic edge is all it takes. In some cases, power adapters will even damage the cable if you wrap the cord around the brick.”
“Avoid this problem by bundling a cord over itself. Most cords come packaged this way when you receive them, and some include a little piece of Velcro you can use to keep the cord together. If your cable doesn't have Velcro, you can buy some yourself for cheap or use an adjustable zip tie. As a fallback, know how to roll a cable in a way that won't damage it.”

Are you feeling like you need to bubble wrap everything you own right about now? Life is unpredictable, and we can never be sure when tragedies such as these will strike, but we can do our best to avoid them. Buy those protective phone cases, get great insurance and don’t be reckless with your valuables. Keep upvoting the pics that you find particularly painful, and then let us know in the comments if you’ve ever accidentally destroyed something valuable that would warrant a spot on this list.

We got a rescue dog two yrs ago, my first ever dog, it never occurred to me that she might eat anything or destroy anything - we leave her home by herself for hours, we leave food around, the kids leave toys around ... The only thing she has ever eaten is a new brush I bought her and fair do's it was hers.
Load More Replies...Unpopular opinion: 95% of the dog breeds are not ment to be kept indoors. I know there's a lot of responsible dog owners and I will be roasted here, but it's better for dog's health to be able to move and have something to do while you're away, to not be washed all the time because you ruin their natural biome, and to be able to poop and pee when they need to, not to hold it until you are able to take them out. Plus the damage they do while bored and untrained, as shown above.
I leave my dog in the house when i go out because 1. I have a*****e neighbours who complain about my dog barking and I'm worried that someone might hurt her and 2. Where I live it's pretty common for intruders to poison dogs. Luckily she doesn't need to be home alone very often. Either way, she's never destroyed anything in my house when left alone. Point is, I agree with you in theory, but in practice it's not always that simple.

No. I didn’t see anything like that in this thread. The car accidents were accidents, not people who hadn’t been to driving school. Some of them weren’t even damaged by the owners who spent the money.
Load More Replies...My wife, on the day I (finally) confessed my feelings to her about 2 years ago, accidentally left her phone on top of the car as we left a store. It was destroyed, and we had to get a replacement.

I accidentally sat on my glasses and broke them. A colleague of mine had an optometry store and he fixed the glasses in just one evening. I got them back the next day, accidentally sat on them and broke them again.
To everyone saying something about bad dog training or bored dog or anxious or anything, sometimes there is no explanation, it just happens. My dog is well trained, has many toys to keep her entertained and we have multiple options we use to keep her anxiety levels down. One time hubby left the house for an hour, I was at work. He came back to destroyed curtains. It just happens sometimes.
So many of these could’ve been prevented if people just locked up their dogs when they left the house, orrr if they didn’t leave valuables on the floor!! Prepare a small room for your dog that has nothing vakuable
Not as expensive as some of these but I was attempting to renew my health insurance a few months ago and went onto the wrong site. Couldn’t find a way to cancel the application and assumed it would be fine since I didn’t choose an option. Found out last month when I got the bill that they’ll just sign you up for one at random. Called and canceled it but another bill showed up for this month… don’t even know what to do at this point. Oh, and the best part, apparently my actual health insurance is for 2 years so I didn’t even need to renew it… the amount of money I’ve wasted on healthcare over the last year because I have no idea how this system works is ridiculous
So many of these are due to lack of planning. Especially if you live with an animal or child. Think ahead.
