Today, I bought a CD off a man who always plays Spanish guitar in the subway. When I got to work and tried playing the CD, it was blank. I paid $15 for a blank CD. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a co-worker gave me a couple of CDs he said he wanted me to listen to. I got excited, thinking that they were playlists he'd made for me. They were self-help tracks. FML
Today, I arrived at work to find an email from the manager whom I had bought concert tickets from the night before. He said he had actually sold those tickets to someone else. He still expects to be paid. FML
Today, I found out the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML
Today, I spent hours playing my guitar and singing in the street, hoping to make some extra cash. About 3 hours in, I realized some punk had been walking around with a hat taking money as if he was with me. FML
Today, I finally released my first music album. I dropped out of college to pay for it after my friends who liked my music urged me to. They keep telling me how much they love the CD. I've only sold one copy. Turns out they put it on a sharing site so only one of them would have to buy it. FML
Today, I was playing guitar on the sidewalk and had my guitar case open for tips. A man came up with a folded piece of green paper, smiled and walked away. After I was finished, I looked at my tips. I unfolded the paper, it was a note that said "You suck!" FML
Today, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML
Today, my mate came over wanting me to listen to a new music CD he got. It was by some unknown band, and at the end he asked me what I thought, and I said it was ok but the lead singer couldn't sing even if his life depended on it. Turns out my mate's the lead singer, and it was his own band. FML
Today, I met my favourite singer, but when she signed my CD, the marker was out of ink. By the time I realised there was no signature, she was already gone. FML
Today, I had an old man yell in my face because the boxes in our store only had Spanish words on them. I spent 15 minutes apologizing and trying to explain that the English was on the back side. He stormed out before I could even show him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Might have been an accident. I don't know how many times I've tried to burn music to a CD, but it didn't copy even though it said it did.

Why did you pay $15 for what you thought was a CD of some subway guitar player? I'd have offered $5 at the most if I really wanted to buy it.

YDI for being a moron? I mean seriously, no shit. that's what you get for trusting random people on the street. I hope the $15 was put to good use by this guy

I don't think she deserves it! She was trying to do something nice for a struggling musician. Sure there's a high chance of being ripped off by someone on the street but I still think it's worth trying to be nice sometimes, as long as you don't go broke doing it.

Flip it over, make sure it has data on it. Takes half a second and half a brain.

There is a slight chance it was an accident and the CD didn't burn properly...it sucks, but it happens. if you see him again, ask him for another disk. He may look at you like a crazy person, but it doesn't hurt to try.

at least u will probably see him again, u did say he "always" plays guitar in the subway...... next time he's there, take the CD and snap it above his head =D

If you look at the data side of the cd you can usually tell if there is data on it, there is a slight color distortion. Just a fyi for the future =) but i might of done that too. Sucks that you got ripped off though.

So? $15 isn't that much.
