Today, after taking my clothes out of the washer, I noticed at the very bottom of the washer my boyfriend's USB stick I found a couple of days ago. The USB stick contains his English essay, and his novel he has been working on for almost six months. FML

Today, I learned that my boyfriend hides valuables in the washing machine under dirty clothes when leaving town for the weekend. I learned this AFTER I'd done a load of laundry. FML

Today, while I was looking for a file on my boyfriend's hard drive, I came across photos of a half-naked woman wearing my clothes, but whose head wasn't really visible. When I demanded an explanation, I realised that it wasn't another girl - it was him. FML

Today, after meeting a girl for the first time and having sex with her, I found not only my wallet missing but also the 128 GB pen drive that had my project I've been working on for 6 months on it. I have to give the presentation in 3 days. FML

Today, I started some laundry late at night. Once my clothes were in the washer for about a half hour, I got bored and I decided I would listen to my iPod. After looking for it for another 15 minutes, I remembered where I'd left it; in my jacket... which is now nice and clean. FML

Today, my boyfriend texted me, asking if I had left my underwear over at his place. No, no I didn't. They weren't mine. Awesome. FML

Today, I had just finished re-completing all my assignments because I had lost my USB last week. I reached into my pocket for gum, instead I found the USB that I had apparently lost. I spent my weekend alone rather than spending time with my friends. I don't have another weekend off for a month. FML

You can just dry it off in the sun... don't use it for about a week so that it dries thoroughly, then it should work just fine. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Yeah, it should still work once it dries out (flash memory=no moving parts). Should be a lesson to your boyfriend, too—clean out your own damn pockets!

I've put USB sticks through the wash a few times on accident. It still worked. I bet it is still fine. Just make sure it drys out all the way before using it.

well he should have thoese documents on his computer then too? so there's no FML here, except the fact the USB is broken and you'll have to buy another one.

Oh well, that's his problem for not backing it up...

Since you *thought* that washing it would ruin it, YDI for not checking your pockets before washing. I thoroughly search every pocket before an article of clothing goes into the washer.

You mean he doesn't have a backup?

Don't worry - let it dry out really well, and it should work just fine. I misplaced mine, and it turned up in the garden, which is watered regularly, plus it'd been raining... And it turned out to work just fine once dry. It was a really cheap one, and it works - you should be fine. However, he deserves to lose his work if that was the only copy...
