Today, I started my new job as the only IT tech for my office. My first task: untangling the hundred mice the previous tech tied together for "fun". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, at work, my mouse cursor kept randomly moving all over the screen, and messed up an entire day's attempted work. As I was leaving, I overheard one of my co-workers saying he'd plugged a wireless mouse adapter into my computer, and had been trolling me all day. FML
Today, I started a new job. I lost my work keys and had everyone running all over the building looking for them. We found them, hanging in the last lock I had used. They now all think I'm a nut. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job. Not only does everyone hate me for replacing a guy they all liked, I managed to clog the only functional toilet there. The glares and threatening head-shaking they keep doing probably means I'm screwed. FML
Today, I started a new job. After being trained on several obscure computer programs I'm expected to use in just one day, my new boss informed me she's going on a week long vacation starting tomorrow. She's the only other person who knows how this program runs. FML
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Today, at my new job, my coworkers pranked me by moving around the things on my desk. I was horribly upset by it and reported them all to HR. Now no one will talk to me and I'm the office pariah within my first week. FML
Today, while at work, I cringed as I noticed my caveman colleague frantically digging into his nose and then continuing the use of his computer. I work in IT support and will be rebuilding his computer and reinstalling all his applications in 30 minutes time. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally moved in with me, after being long distance for months. Our apartment just became infested with mice. FML
Today, my coworkers were bored. To solve this, they taped me to a chair and tried tickling me to death. My boss joined in. FML
Today, I began training my replacement at work. She's a senior citizen. She got excited when I taught her how to highlight text on the screen and double-click the mouse because she "never knew how to do those fancy tricks." The job is entirely computer-based. I have to train her for 6 weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I know you meant computer mice but my first thought was actual mice.

AAAAAhhhhhhh, you nerds and your sense of humor. I bet the previous tech also left some funny lines of code for you to read. Now you get to go home and tell your Canadian girlfriend, you know, the supermodel you met on the internet and all your Halo or COD buddies about your "hellish" day.

20- Was that nonsensical BS supposed to be funny?

#41, it's actually an old cliche that an American loser can deflect questions about his obvious failure with local women by claiming to have a girlfriend in Canada. Instead of being a putz, he can pretend to be faithful in an LDR.

I take offense to this.

I hope you're getting paid well for this... That's all I gotta say.

If you think that's bad, just wait until you get the really stupid calls. Where is the "any" key?

I heard about a women calling a tech line to ask why the cup holder would no longer come out of her computer. Turns out it was the DVD player.

Or the technologically impaired elders. "CTRL+P? I haven't been able to do that in years!"

Once you untangle the mice, they will be grateful to you and do whatever you want. You could become the new Willard.

Maybe they went insane, it could be a sign that you soon will as well...

At least you don't have to cut nuggets of dried poop away from dog's asses. Be grateful, I'd take untangling hardware over dog ass any day.
