Today, I finally got my laptop back after my friend broke it a few weeks ago. As I walked back into our place with my laptop in my bag, the same friend burst out and tackled me. My bag fell and slammed into the floor. Guess who has to pay for another repair. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my laptop back after lending it to my friend. It wouldn't boot, and after investigating I found out it'd been stripped of its hard drive and all its memory. When I confronted my "friend", he accused me of lying and trying to ruin his reputation. FML
Today, my brother "pranked" me by dropping my new laptop out my bedroom window. He'd set up a saran wrap safety net below to catch my laptop safely, but he didn't secure it well enough. My laptop is completely fucked and he won't accept responsibility because he didn't mean to break it. FML
Today, it seemed like a great day. Right up until the point to where I accidentally damaged a friend's MacBook Pro. Not only do I have to pay for it, but the only way I'll be able to afford it is by returning every single Christmas gift I get. FML
Today, I got home after a long day and collapsed onto my bed… forgetting I'd left my laptop open on it. Now I have an expensive, broken pillow. FML
Today, I helped friends move home, and since we couldn't all fit in their car I took the bus. While waiting, my new phone slipped and crashed on the floor. It now has a cracked screen right between my two overpriced phone protectors. FML
Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML
Today, I took my new laptop into my house from my car, thinking it would be a too much of a target for kids grabbing it. I came home tonight to find my door kicked in, my laptop gone and my TV ripped from the wall. FML
Today, I came home to find that my roommate had picked my lock and stolen my new laptop. When I tried to take it back, he called the police. They sided with him since he had also taken the receipt, which was "proof" that it was his. FML
Today, I was driving to my new home with a lot of my belongings in the car. I could hear things shifting in the back. When I parked, I opened the door, ready to catch my vodka. I caught it - and watched my laptop slide out of the car, onto the concrete, and break into 3 pieces. FML
Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You may be able to repair your laptop. But your friendship? Not so much.

If the last time was on purpose, this time the friend should pay. That is really annoying, OP. Once, my mother decided to reboot my computer becase it was a little bit "laggy". I lost everything, including all my pictures of my recently dead puppy.

You lost everything by restarting the computer? Damn. Try the save function?
ottokat 15
No, I was away for two weeks and allowed my brother to play Minecraft on it. But my computer really isnt good for gaming, so I told my brother that if Minecraft lagged too much, he should just exit out. Well something went wrong and my mom thought the way to fix it would be to reboot it, which completely wiped the computer of everything except settings and like, Paint. Wouldn't mind, but again, my dog had recently died and my only pictures of him were on that computer.

This is why I do not let people--family, friends, strangers--us my computer. I know if they broke it then I would never forgive them.

I am at a loss of what to say here. Why were the pictures not stored on the harddrive? Were the pictures sitting in your RAM in an open program without saved copies? Save when you leave your workspace. Especially if you can't physically be at the computer for a week plus.

I think she means reformatted or restored from the factory disc, not rebooted. In the explanation she says she lost everything but paint, and likely the factory crap. I feel your pain, computer illiterate relatives are banned from all hardware in my house except a tablet I keep on the coffee table for them.
Meettitan 14
Yeah lol "The pc isn't working let me pop in this disk that says Windows Restore and blindly click ok on everything."
Mandybruin 15
I hope you mean a tablet full of paper. That kind of tablet, right?

sometimes and for some unexplained reason it seems quite easier to computer iliterates to do that kind of stuff... stupidity has that kind of effet unfortunately...

^ I'm not even going to point out the irony of your post. Thanks guys. I don't know exactly what mother dearest did, but she used the word reboot. Luckily I found some pictured of my puppy soon in other places! Still - she's never going near technology of mine again!

You friend? I least I hope.

Wow, you sure that's your friend, op? Also don't you have insurance for stuff like that in the US? Where I live people usually have a (translated literally) "liability insurance" which will cover for you if you break other people's stuff. (of course you'll have to pay higher monthy rates after that but at least the victim gets their money back)

Is available, but people on this continent usually only keep it for businesses. They prefer to sue each other.

Some people who are more careful with their things might not buy it. My laptop for example has no insurance because I never let anyone touch it besides me and my computer programmer father and I never let it out of sight and a foot radius from me when I take it anywhere. My phone on the other hand has insurance against theft and accidental damage. My phone is often left charging somewhere in the house and often other people are motivated to mess with it, despite my annoyance at their handling it. My phone is small enough to be stolen easily compared to a laptop with a eighteen inch screen. Yes, insurance is good to have, but for people that are careful and with things that are easily to defend and keep track of it isn't as necessary.

Plus it helps that you make it well known how much you value your item, whether it be laptop or other prized device. My friends would never dare do anything with my laptop as they know that it is my baby, in the same way some people value beautiful cars.

Your friend should be and if he is not then you should beat the shit out of them.

I always greet people by tackling them and breaking their valuables.

I'm gonna guess your ex-friend.

My, what a wit you have! I can really see the time and thought you put into your comment!

Now don't tease the poor thing, 24. I doubt they can comprehend sarcasm, and you don't want to make them look any stupider than they already do.

Make your friend pay!
queerdragon 20
Sounds like your friend is immature. It is time to have a talk with them about what is appropriate. Tell them that they owe you for the TWO repairs, give them the bill, and if not then take them to small claims court. You also need to set ground rules. They should not tackle, push, or "glomp" you. Since you would not have damaged the computer unless they tackled you, then they are responsible for the damage. The same if they accidentally hit your car or broke valuables.
