Today, I bought a new iPod to replace my old one which decided to stop working. After purchasing my new nano iPod, I decided to bang my old iPod on the desk very hard because it was useless. It started working again. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my iPod came back from repair and still had a distorted sound. I've been through calls, meetings, and repairs with Apple since Christmas, and it still sounds like the half speaker in my old car. Then I found out the new Nano requires you to push the headphones plug in harder. FML
Today, I left my brand new iPod Touch outside. There had been a drought for the past 3 weeks. Not anymore. FML
Today, I bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML
Today, I got a new computer because my old one crashed, deleting all music, photos, and documents. I still had all my music on my iPod though, and went to sync it to the new computer. By accident, my younger brother pulled the cord out before it was done, deleting all 3,000 songs forever. FML
Today, I found my daughter's brand new ipod touch. At the bottom of the washing machine. FML
Today, I bought my first iPhone. Today, I broke my first iPhone. FML
Today, I was going to the bathroom at work. Since I knew it would take a while, I brought my iPod in for entertainment. To bad it disabled me from hearing the continuous knocks on the door as well as the manager eventually picking the lock and busting in. FML
Today, my iPod dropped out of my pocket while I was walking. Trying to be cool, I attempted to kick it back into the air to catch it before it hit the ground. Upon making contact with my foot, It ended up detaching from my headphones and flying 10 feet. Right into a sewer grate. FML
Today, I was trying to show my boyfriend how to shake my iPod to shuffle songs. When I went to shake it, it flew out of my hand and hit him in the face. FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just return the new one. It isn't rocket science now is it?

On the bright side, now you can sell your old iPod!

But the amount of money received from selling a used iPod is significantly less than the sum OP spent on the new iPod. So, still a minus :/

#36 It's true that you can't get as much money from selling a used iPod as it takes to buy a new one...But OP still has a newer iPod, so that's a plus. The money that OP can get from selling the used one will cover a little bit of what she spent on the new one.

It all depends on whether the OP is an optimist or a pessimist :D

#42 Haha. Yep, so true! I feel like the outcome of a lot of situations depends on what angle you look at it from.

I did the same thing to my iPod classic, the arm on the hard drive knocks off track. but don't count on it working for good.

The reason your ipod stopped working is because a piece of the hard drive moved out of place. When you banged it on the desk it knocked it back into place, but this will only be a temporary fix. It will eventually break again, even if it takes a few months. In other words, don't sell your new ipod yet.

It's called returning it... Look it up. And if they won't let you return it try craigslist or ebay. Sell it!
