Today, a teacher asked me to edit a video of her class. Unfamiliar with cameras that work with video tape, I accidentally recorded over her video. The footage is impossible for me to get back. FML

Today, I was at a wedding. After videotaping the ceremony for a few minutes, my memory was full. I went to delete another video. I accidentally played the loudest video I had. No one was looking at the bride or groom anymore. FML

Sounds bad

Today, I accidentally deleted an audio file for my first professional video project. Impossible to do a retake, because the production budget was so tight. The audio from the camera sounds bad and file recovery program still can't help. Also, the deadline is this week. FML

Today, I was working the lighting for a drama production. In the last scene, two characters realize they are in love and kiss, then the stage goes dark. I mixed up my settings, and instead of a blackout, flashing party lights started going off. 300 people turn around to stare at me. FML

Today, I got the DVD back from a dance concert I did. After watching it, I realised that I had a camel toe through the whole thing. Three and a half hours. FML

Today, I had one of my biggest dance shows ever. After months of practice I had finally gotten the lead position. When I entered the stage and raised my arms my straps fell down and I flashed an audience of 5000. FML

Today, I started this show and was really confused what was happening until I realized I accidentally started from the last episode so I basically ruined the whole show for myself. FML

Today, I thought it would be cool to make a TikTok dance routine while at work. Today is also the day the District Manager chose the perfect ass fucking day to pay my unit a visit. I was fired. Christmas is now ruined. FML

Today, I was working from home when I mistakenly turned on my video camera during a conference call. I was wearing pajama pants and a t-shirt with a "Cannibal Corpse" album cover on it. FML

You sound incredibly inept at your job. FYL because I can't imagine you'll be getting hired for more jobs.

OP was probably boinking one of the stage hands and accidentally hit "delete" while switching from doggy style to the reverse cowboy.

Odds on it'll still be there. Don't do another damn thing until you get someone competent to look at it.

Seriously. Even a brain-dead orangutan doesn't "accidentally" delete something. You're either a moron or a liar.

That's bad but look on the bright side, at least you didn't direct Avatar and accidently delete it, James Cameron would have kicked your ass so badly...

it's called data recovery... learn about it. I'm sure after he has refunded all the money he will find the file... or it might have been a good "accident" because the video sucked/ audio was bad... oh well! another big payday *poof*!
