Today, I was mad at my boyfriend, so I yanked the power cord for his computer while he was gaming. Turns out, that fried part of his computer and now it won't turn on. He broke up with me, even after I apologized, and offered to replace the part. FML

Today, I tried to make a move on the cute guy who sits opposite me at work. In theory, I was going to start a game of footsie with him. In practice, I screwed up and managed to yank his computer's power cable out. He lost his unsaved work. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He said it was because he wanted to 'do his own thing'. So gaming 24/7 like he has for the past two years of our relationship, then. FML
Today, I got into a huge fight with my boyfriend. I called him and started yelling at him over the phone. He told me that if I wanted to end the relationship I should just hang up the phone right then. Before I could say I still love him and don't want to break up, my phone battery died. FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend in a video game. He promptly dumped me and told me to leave. FML
Today, I caught my boyfriend cheating so I broke up with him. As revenge he threw my PS3 and XBox out of the window when I wasn't in our house. I got those consoles out of the spare money my three jobs had brought in - the same three jobs I had to get because he refused to get a job of his own. FML
Today, my boyfriend got mad at me because I wouldn't use $5,000 to build him a new gaming computer with my surrogate compensation, even though he basically refuses to get a job. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I canceled my Gamefly account. Seems that was the only thing keeping us together. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me via text message while we were having sex. FML
Today, my boyfriend got frustrated trying to take my entertainment center into the basement for the kids' game room. It didn't fit, thanks to the horrible design of the house, so he Spartan-kicked it down, breaking it into 15 pieces. FML
Today, I went to give my boyfriend a hug and accidentally knocked his brand new phone out of his hand. The screen was broken. FML

The probability is you fried the power supply - Not the most expensive subsystem in the computer but still a pain and it could be expensive if you have someone else do the replacement or you aren’t technically competent. That’s not supposed to cause damage but sometimes it does… If you have something to say, just get in their face and open your mouth and say it instead of having a hissy fit and damaging things. That’s lesson number 1… Lesson #2 is compromise. Neither person in a relationship is really in 100% control. You always have to work things out and compromise instead of trying to force things to be the way you want. This is every bit as important as lesson #1 if not more so… Frankly my sympathy is with your ex.

Being involved with someone who destroys my property in fits off rage? I doubt the monetary loss is the reddest of the flags here.

I am sure at this point it's not about the specific part, it's the principle of damaging his computer ... what if you had trashed the motherboard or the primary drive? All the apologies in the world can't fix that.

You're a complete bitch for that and he's stupid if he didn't break up with you. This makes me appreciate laptops a little more.

How exactly did you see that going in your head, tbh? If you can't have a civil conversation when mad, maybe you're not mature enough for a relationship.

Next time just shut off the router.

I understand that you could have gotten extremely frustrated by his incessant gaming. The fact that he broke up with you probably just hastened the inevitable: He is addicted to games and he was never going to give you the attention that you deserve, so you would just have continued in an unhappy relationship. Some things just bring out the worst in us, and if you were put into a situation where you became that person who has to yank out power cords then it is probably best that you part ways. You deserve someone who can't live without you and who actually values having you in their life.

To be fair to OP she thought she was just forcing it to turn off. A bit dramatic but I could see a reasonable person doing this given the possible situation.
