Today, I sat down at my computer for the first time in a week, and discovered that my cat had thrown up all over my keyboard. I needed to write up an important document but the chunks were stuck down in the keys, effectively locking it up and making it useless. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my cat decided to use my keyboard as a scratching post, and now my computer won't work. FML
Today, I woke up to find that my cat had barfed all over my laptop's keyboard and screen, filling each nook and cranny of the stuff. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I went to make coffee to deal with the stress, I found that I was out of coffee. FML
Today, I made myself a perfect latte and sat down at my desk, feeling pretty good about my day so far. My cat then jumped on the desk, slipped, and kicked my mug directly into my keyboard. The cat looked me confused while coffee seeped into my laptop. It was only 9:02 AM. FML
Today, my cat looked like it was about to puke, so I put him outside. Unhappy with the situation, he leaped on to the kitchen window ledge and squeezed in through the open window, only to projectile-vomit mid-leap all over the kitchen counter. I found a hairball in the butter. FML
Today, I tried to clean my keyboard by turning it upside down and shaking it. Something important apparently fell out, because now the “E” key only works if I smack it hard enough to look like I’m typing angry emails. My coworkers are concerned. FML
Today, my phone fell in my cat's water bowl overnight. I'm currently writing this from my laptop. FML
Today, I attended a virtual meeting. When I went to grab a coffee during a break, for some reason took my laptop with me, got distracted by my cat taking a stinky dump, so my coworkers got an unplanned tour of his litter box while I scooped it all up. FML
Today, I was screen-sharing during a virtual meeting when my cat jumped up and walked across my keyboard, and revealed my embarrassing search history. FML
Today, I learned that our cats love to knock over glasses and cups, particularly if they have liquid in them. The latest victim of their antics? My expensive computer keyboard. FML
Today, I managed to accidentally drop an entire cake on my laptop's keyboard. There's so much frosting stuck under the keys, I have no idea how I'm going to clean it out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

All you’d need to do is turn off the Cat-Activated Puke System (CAPS) Lock key.

you could try ripping the keys out and using an air compressor or a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol or mineral oil to clean under the keys. if your desperate for a replacement keybored most stores carry $15 logitech boards.

1. How didn't you smell the cat sick earlier? 2. Could you not have quickly brought a cheap replacement keyboard?

Cat puke often doesn't have much smell. I used to work at a shelter and that was just about the only thing that didn't stink to high heaven there.

Did you try unplugging it and taking the keys off with a paper clip to clean it or try to type with cat gunk?

I know how it feels when you have to rush an “essay”, so sorry about the retard caused by the cat.

$10 will get you a working keyboard, just plug it into a USB port. Also, brush your cats too remove excess fur and/or feed them a better quality food to reduce vomiting.

I guess you're going to have to cough up for a new keyboard.

I'm currently using a Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2(yellow switch edition) and id definitely recommend it as a replacement, razers store,amazon, and newegg all carry them and frequently have sales and promotions. razer has a few decent boards anywhere from $50-500cad

Cat puke often has no smell to it.
