I have never broken or cracked a screen, ever, and I've dropped phones in parking lots and on sidewalks and stuff. Am I just super lucky?

Basically, yes. I also had a good run of dropping phones but not breaking them until one day it just landed wrong and completely shattered the screen.

:same: It’s the weirdest thing. A decade of smartphone usage and not a single crack or scratch, and that’s with using them at bars and on subways where it’s most likely to be dropped. And man have I dropped mine plenty.

I chipped the corner of a smartphone once, but it was only really noticeable if you were inspecting the phone for damages, otherwise I've apparently been lucky.

On the other hand, back in the day when you could remove the batteries from phones, I would knock my phone off of a coffee table and yard sale the fucker like I had gibbed it in Unreal Tournament.

I went years with no damage and didn't even use a case.

Then I dropped a phone a month into owning it. Now I always use a case and haven't damaged a phone hardly in 5 years. OK I melted the screen a little in a welding incident but it's just a little mark.

Back before smart phones I had a flip phone for a few years. On vacation I wandered into the ocean to play with my son. I forgot my swimsuit and just wore an old well-fitting pair of cargo shorts. With my wallet and phone in the pockets. For 15 minutes.

Got myself a brand new iPhone and dried my money with a towel and my shorts.
Has been the only electrical device I ever damaged.

I tend to ride my phones into the ground--starting in 2010, I've gone from an OG Motorola Droid, to a Droid RAZR, to a Moto X, to a Moto G5+, so four phones in 11 years--and I've never cracked a screen or otherwise broken a phone from a drop.

My ex-wife, though, managed to crack either her iPhone's shell or the screen at least once a year. I got real tired of paying those phone replacement costs after a while.

Eerily similar, I went for more than a decade without a case and no damage, figured it made me more cautious with it. Then dropped my new phone twice on the same vacation, got a screen repair and a case—but I miss living on the edge sometimes

Both of these ads give me anxiety. (And so does the singing hood ornament, but I can’t articulate why exactly.)

This is kind of the case for a lot of group exercise things, it's not unlike the cargo cult mentality you see with MLM poo poo. Don't forget the old joke:

"How do you know someone does CrossFit?"

"Don't worry, they'll tell you."
