Of everyone in my house, I'm one of the most electronic freindly.
I've broken nothing but scratched up a Halo 2 disc to death. My family however:
-Broke/lost three cell phones
-Almost broke an iPod Touch
-Broken DS
-Broken PS1
-Cracked and nearly useless cell phone
-Broken remote car starter

I'm very careful with electronics, for example I clean out my controllers with toothpicks when I start to notice dirt.
Having said that, however, I managed to drop my iPod in the toilet, and now it won't connect to the internet. The strange thing is, I wasn't even using the toilet at the time, I was washing my hands.

Electronics haven't failed me too much yet. I've had 4 headsets break on me in the past 3 years though :/
Had a girl in class that was "electronically cursed".
She worked her way thru 3 laptops, several phones and other arbitrary electric/electronic items in just under a year. Even the starter in the fluorescent lightning over her desk at the uni shorted out every few weeks.
Nowadays I think she lives as a hippie in a treehouse in Goa. So she's prolly fine.

I've broken three DS lites. The first one I hit wih my elbow so hard it sailed off the table and flew threw the glass door.
Second one the bottom screen exploded on the inside.
Third one the top screen ran out of LCD fluids and turned purple.

I'm quite good with electronics. Good thing as that's pretty much what my career entails. I do have a buddy that seems to emmit some sort of field that causes his stuff to develope the strangest problems. Problems so strange that I've never encountered before and am usually baffled about how to fix.
OT: Heavy-handed much.
Please don't ever get behind the wheel of a car!
Only thing i've broken is the back door to the house. I slammed it too hard and broke the lock slightly.
Oh, and I also managed to wipe the Setup file from my copy of Hammer & Sickle.

I broke a PS2 by accidentally pulling the controller which caused the system to nose dive off the shelf it was sitting on, smashing the front up enough to screw up the laser.
I have some trouble with phones, mostly dropping related to alcohol consumption, though I've never dropped it in a body of water.

Things are always slow for me, but I don't seem to actually break anything usually. My last mobile phone, that I had free from my dad (as he gets a new one every so often anyway from his contract), was damaged so many times from me dropping it yet it never actually stopped working. I was so clumsy with it, but it was damn near indestructible. It finally gave out when it landed badly on a sharp chip of rock, that cracked the screen. Even then it still worked perfectly, except that there was a massive chip in the screen, so I had to let it go. My next phone, which I had a few years ago and still use today, is just the same, although the screen hasn't been chipped yet so far

I've gone through 10 sets of headphones(that I can remember), my 360 got the RROD the year before last, and I've broken 2 phones..because I accidentally dropped them in water.
The first fourteen years of my life: Every computer I touched got a death wish, had performance drops, mixed up commands, had parts of it explode (once literally, a power supply that popped into two pieces)... but only when I used it.
Age fourteen until now: Computers are indifferent towards me, Windows absolutely adores me. I don't know why.
