Today, I received a $50 iTunes card for my birthday. I immediately sat down at my computer and starting buying all my newest favorites. Then I realized I never redeemed my card so the $50 was all charged to my account. FML

Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML

Today, it was my big sister's birthday, and I was told the iPod I ordered her online was not coming due to a mix up. I drove to three different electronic stores before I found the one she wanted. After spending forever in traffic, I came home to find a package on my doorstep. It was her iPod. FML

Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML

Today, I saw some random iTunes charge on my bank account so I called who I thought was iTunes customer support to figure out the $5 charge, then got scammed into buying $1,400 worth of gift cards. The man on the phone was not with iTunes and took all my money. FML

Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML

Today, I went to Walmart with all my birthday money, which I had in a wallet with my permit and everything else. I was sat on a bench looking for items for my iPod Touch However… I left my wallet behind. Turns out an old couple stole it. I got my shit jacked by grandparents. FML

Today, my brand new iPhone 4 was stolen from my bag. I asked the bartender if anyone had handed it in. I soon found out that while I was talking to her, someone swiped my wallet from the bag too. FML

Today, my girlfriend bought herself a brand new iPad and iPod Touch, and returned my aging iPod and Kindle, which she constantly steals for her own use. She considers it my Valentine's Day present. FML

An ipod is not considered expensive...

For most ppl money doesn't grow on trees, but it also depends on the model of iPod(touch can be 200-300) that's not a quick and fun thing to replace

It's $200/$300. I wouldn't say it was cheap. I've had plenty of things stolen in the past too and it really does suck!!!

Compared to other music players, an iPod is pretty expensive unless you get the crappy, small one that's so awful it doesn't even have a screen.

Assuming the OP knows who stole it to begin with.. But then there would be better responses, like beating the shit out of the thief, or calling the police.

Why would you even want to pay for ITune songs when you can get them of YouTube for free ?

Enslaved 36

Thursday 13 October 2011 10:09

Every time I go on YouTube to listen to a song, they only seem have the live concert version. I hate that! And god help me find the original video.

are you like 10 years behind in ur life ? There is a program which u can download YouTube songs and save them on ur computer then put them on ur iPod.

If you go to YouTube on your comp they have the song that isn't live. When getting on from your iPod or iPhone it's different cuz it only shows videos that can play on a mobile device.
