Today, my 20-year-old son's external hard-drive stopped working. He's crying on my shoulder now, not because of the movies, porn, work, or music he probably lost, but because of the now irretrievable complete series of Digimon that he'd collected. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son stuck coins in our DVD player. It would be cute if he wasn't 25. FML
Today, I found my son's porn. I would sit him down for a talk, but the genres were so disturbing that I'm afraid to even ask about it. FML
Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
Today, I got a new computer because my old one crashed, deleting all music, photos, and documents. I still had all my music on my iPod though, and went to sync it to the new computer. By accident, my younger brother pulled the cord out before it was done, deleting all 3,000 songs forever. FML
Today, I lost two terabytes' worth of photos to a friend's incompetence. He said he could save me some money and fix my slow computer for free. He ended up wiping the hard drive, and along with it, my photography portfolio from the last five years. FML
Today, my junkie son came to the house showered, in clean clothes, with sobriety chips from NA, full of apologies, and we had a good cry about his recovery. I went to the kitchen for tissues, for less than a minute, but when I got back he’d stolen my purse, television, and spare change jar with about £75 in it. FML
Today, my external hard drive broke. My husband tried to fix it, and the computer told him he needed to format it. Apparently he didn't know what formatting does, so he did it. I'm a wedding photographer and had a full summer of unfinished wedding photography on there. FML
Today, I finally finished typing up a story I had been working on for about 7 months, saved it on my computer and left to hang with friends. Came home later to find my dad had sold my laptop in order to pay his phone bill. My hard work is now gone. FML
Today, my husband accidentally erased some pictures from our hard drive. No worries, nothing major: just everything from our wedding and the birth of our first child. FML
Today, I woke up to find out that my phone, which contained all of my pictures and videos from the past year, had completely crashed. Despite trying everything, I couldn't recover any of the data, even from the cloud backup. All those memories, gone forever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I like that everyone assumed the OP was his mom.

I now feel comforted because I thought I was the only person in the world who still remembers Digimon.

Kids today need to grow some balls. Crying over a cartoon or video game or whatever this is? What the hell happened to the male gender? Teddy Roosevelt would be rolling over in his grave and Clint Eastwood should be ashamed of us. Man up, people!

That's society EVOLVING into not trying to fit into stereotypes established by the previous generations. I hate people like you, trying to push that god awful syeteotype that men show no feelings and are apathetic asses. Please, fall of the face of the earth.

The difference between the previous generations and your generations is that you guys pretend to be tough guys when you're hiding behind a computer screen but if you met me in person, you'd cry like a little girl before you had the balls to throw a punch. I never said men shouldn't show emotion but crying because you lost your cartoons? The kid is 20 years old. How is he ever going to deal with real life problems? The answer, he's going to cut his wrists like all you little emo d-bags. As soon as your generation takes the reigns, Canada will be able to march in here and take it all from you and you pansies won't even put up a fight.

Lost anime is definitely something to cry over

There are services that can retrieve data from any "broken" hard drive. It gets more expensive dependng on how seriously ******-up the drive is. Still, it may be cheaper than the therapy your infantile man-boy will require to cope with the loss.

Aw shit man, I feel for the poor guy. F HIS life, that's rough. Although I doubt it's actually irretrievable. There must be a torrent or something SOMEWHERE. Hope he finds one. Digimon's awesome.
