Today, my laptop plug got stuck in the wall outlet. I stood there for 10 minutes violently trying to yank it out. My boss came in and screamed at me for making noise. I was angry, so I glared at him and yanked on the plug as hard as I could. It dislodged itself noiselessly and I fell over. FML

how could it possibly take 10 minutes? Next time, pull it straight OUT and not sideways. That's the only way I can think of. YDI unless you're 80+ years old, in which case you have an excuse.

The lesson is clear, when it takes you ten minutes of rage fuelled pulling to unplug a power cord... Lay off the roids.

FYL, not for the embarrassment, purely for the fact that it took you 10 minutes to unplug something.

Dude YDI for "making noise" when trying to pull out a plug. Pulling plugs out should be a SILENT ACTIVITY.

Ummm.. I don't believe anyone here was being a : a bundle of sticks b : a bundle of pieces of wrought iron to be shaped by rolling or hammering at high temperature or c: a bassoon.
Also, DON'T TYPE YOUR WHOLE POST IN CAPS.

What's the lesson today kids? Don't violently yank anything at work for 10 minutes. You're asking to get caught.
i c wot u did thar ;)
OP: What could possibly make it so difficult for you to pull the plug out of the socket? I'm baffled.

If you had silently yanked really hard in the first place, your boss wouldn't have heard you. Think of being in your house when you were yanking on something in your bedroom, hoping your mom wouldn't hear.

Louie The Lighting Bug taught me never to pull on electrical cords and I listened! Maybe you should too.

YDI! Haha! That's hilarious! I can totally see it happening!

I can only think of one possible explanation for your inability to unplug a laptop... Are you an ant or some other kind of insect? That or you're just weak.

I swear to god someone went on the mod page and clicked yes for every single FML that came up. Most FML's are extremely lame today.
What kind of moron doesn't know how to unplug something? YDI.

Americans don't even have perpendicular plugs, so how exactly where you failing that?

How did you manage to get yourself a job in the first place? Do you have a twin brother that did the interview and application for you so your boss wouldn't know he was hiring a dumbass?

That one actually made me laugh out loud...I could so picture that happening.

Must be one of those days unless you are easily irritable with noncompliant inanimate objects...
I don't have the best of luck with technology so it happened to me as well. My labtop plug got stuck in the outlet of my apartment; I pulled gently a couple of times then pulled it with a little more force. The plug came out, leaving behind a piece of the metal plug in the outlet, it was an oh crap moment but thank goodness my charger still works. However, the piece of metal was stuck in the outlet and I had to get pliers to pull it out.
