This woman was happy with her brand new iPhone, which she shelled out $1,300 for.
It didn't last long, though. She showed up to the family pool party only to encounter her jokester of a cousin.
Every family has at least one person who likes jokes. There's also one person who will take things too far. Oftentimes, these are the same exact person.
Since they're family, you can't always avoid them! Instead, you try to anticipate their pranks, or keep your distance, but even that isn't always 100% foolproof, as she quickly learned…

Am I the j*rk for suing my cousin after he knocked my phone into the pool as a "joke"?

Maybe it was a mistake, but it was a $1,300 mistake! You don't get to make all of your goof-ups in life for free. Some of them will cost you! Even if you don't pay in money, there are other currencies. Maybe you lose someone's trust, or you cost yourself a job. In this case, the cost was $1,300 as well as scolding by all the family members for probably forever, and the cost of the lawsuit. Yes, that's right — she sued him over this!

He made his own life difficult
That won't stop the family from coddling this manchild, though. He'll keep pouting at every family event (again, he'll probably do it forever), putting the pool incident into the family history books. His cousins and siblings will be joking about this until he's 99 years old.

She certainly wasn't in the wrong here! That's a costly piece of tech to have ruined by being waterlogged. Most of us literally need our phones to do our jobs, contact friends, order food and house supplies, and more… Our phones do basically everything, and we'd be lost without them. Even a few days, or a week, without your phone will have you missing out on plans with your friends, being unable to do your work on the go, and complicating your life in every way imaginable. It's a true headache!
