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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my mother threw away my brand new headphones. She saw them on the couch with duct tape on the wires and assumed they were "old, broken, and cheap." I put the tape there to avoid damaging the wires. FML
Today, I was listening to my music on my phone through my Bluetooth wireless headphones. While listening, I turned my music and the power on my headphones off for a bit. I thought I'd lost them when I got home. They were so loosely fit over my ears that I felt like an idiot when I realized they were still on my head. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents while watching a terrible Netflix Christmas movie to get into the holiday spirit. Halfway through, I realized I had wrapped my scissors and tape inside one of the gifts. Now I’m sitting here with unwrapped gifts and a deep annoyance at Christmas all together. FML
Today, I attempted to untangle a pair of headphones. Somehow, in the process, I managed to tie them into a knot so complicated that it's now a permanent part of my life in the "great big box of mystery cables that lives in the garage." 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, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. 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, I accidentally unplugged my headphones in the quiet section of the library, causing my music to play from my laptop at full volume. I was listening to Celine Dion. I'm the captain of the football team. FML
Today, I decided to listen to some music at work, so I plugged in my headphones and turned on Spotify. Only the music decided to play out loud instead. I was called a “disrespectful little bitch who wasn’t raised right” for not using my headphones. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I promise I won't be dull and make any puns on this one. I promised to cut it out. Instead, I'll think of something more cutting edge. I'm at a loss at this point, probably due to this splitting headache. I'd probably butcher any attempt at being a cut-up anyway, so I'll just cleave it alone. That's what I get for paring humor and wit.

just saucer it back together, then heat shrink cable insulation around it, total repair cost: $5

Saucer? You want OP to eat his headphone cord for $9 worth of sauce? Horrible advice. However, if that word is replaced with solder...then that comment makes sense.

A saucer is a small plate on which a teacup rests. It doesn't have anything to do with sauce.

invest in speakers?
Trollz4daLULZ 2
Yes, all brokers recognize the nice rate of return on a set of speakers. My kid's college fund is in speakers. YOU MEAN "PURCHASE" AND NOT "INVEST", YOU ******* RE-RE!

^^^ Get some help for that anger. "Invest" is a figure of speech in this case. If you spend money on good speakers, you don't have to worry about later spending on earphones that break, or that you break yourself. It's obvious they weren'tbtelling OP to get some stocks.

Actually not a figure of speech but a correctly used word. Investment is not limited to stocks, it's defined as "to put (money) to use, by purchase or expenditure, in something offering potential profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value." As was said, the profitable returns of speakers is that they do not have to worry about wasting further money due to cut cords.

Wirecutters, soldering iron, electrical tape. Seriously super easy.

thank you! I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention that there is such an easy solution. you don't even need the soldering iron. just use electrical tape if you're feeling lazy.

This is why you need backup. I use my big ones when I'm on the computer, and have three cheap ones laying around somewhere.
