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
Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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 strip the wires, attach them, and tape the junction. If you actually care about the poor appearance this will create, YDI for being superficial.

change "when" to "until" and that fml would make a lot more sense. just some advice :)

I've cut my earphones before you should do what I do strip down the wires put each each of the same wire in a really small wire nut (same for the other wire) then just tone secure wrap the wire nuts in electric tape so they don't fall off....it'll be a little more bulky but at least they'll work again :)

Reminds me of my "duurrrrrr" miment wrapping gifts as a kid. I was wrapping them on the bed and couldn't find any scissors so I grabbed my dad's box cutter. I slid it all the way down the paper, slicing it, marveling how sharp it was. I lifted up the paper, realized I sliced my mom's expensive new quilt in half on her bed.
