Today, I bought a pair of new speakers for my comp. I forgot I had installed various volume enhancing programs and also maxed out all sound settings. I connected the new speakers and played some music. The sound destroyed them. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 tried to turn my TV up. Unfortunately, the volume button got stuck, so it ended up turning all the way up to the max while I was listening to an already very loud song. If my neighbors didn't know I listen to a lot of blues rock, they do now. FML
Today, the speakers on my laptop weren't working. I worried I'd broken something, and started freaking out. I restarted my computer numerous times and played with the settings for an hour before calling my sister in to help. She looked at it for two seconds, then unplugged my headphones. FML
Today, after I accidentally put my headphones through the washing machine and then drying them out, they somehow still worked, but only in one ear. I was about to accept my fate when the other side suddenly started playing audio at full volume during a quiet train ride. FML
Today, I almost burned down my speakers. How, you ask? Well, some asshole at the party (I was the DJ) decided to trip me as I walked to the stage, causing me to knock my speakers into the pool. FML
Today, I was listening to music while I wrapped Christmas presents. All was going well when the music was cut off, literally. I snipped the cable to my very expensive headphones in half. FML
Today, I got a surround sound system from my best friend. I didn't even have it hooked up when the sub woofer fell to the floor and smashed. I don't know if it can be fixed. 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, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML
Today, I woke up this morning to find out I have lost all ability to hear. Not only is that medically concerning, it also means that now I can’t listen to the new albums I just bought. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ouch! I was DJ at party and went out for a drink for a few seconds. Someone turned the volume up fully on the computer I used for music. When I ran back, all of my amplifiers had glowing input clipping and peak LEDs on them. Now I always use a compressor/limiter for protection. DC voltages will burn speakers up really fast!

Idiot. Volume on ZERO when you hit play after wiring something new up, THEN turn it up. Common sense.

I hate when people shorten words that do not need to be shortened

I must agree with you. That was completely uncalled for and unnecessary

There is a character limit to posting an FML. I'm not going to count the characters, but OP could have shortened computer because of said character limit.
