Today, my iPod came back from repair and still had a distorted sound. I've been through calls, meetings, and repairs with Apple since Christmas, and it still sounds like the half speaker in my old car. Then I found out the new Nano requires you to push the headphones plug in harder. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought a new iPod to replace my old one which decided to stop working. After purchasing my new nano iPod, I decided to bang my old iPod on the desk very hard because it was useless. It started working again. FML
Today, I took my new iPhone into a technician to complain that when people called me, the audio was very quiet and muffled. Convinced it was a fault, I demanded a replacement. That is when he peeled off the factory issued protective screen that covered the ear piece. FML
Today, I took my iPod to Walmart to replace the battery. They tell me to call Apple. I go home again and call Apple. They tell me to call Walmart. I call Walmart. They tell me to bring it in. FML
Today, I dropped my iPod Touch underneath concrete slab steps, and it's physically impossible to get it back. If you stand above where the iPod is, you can still hear it play music. It's like it's mocking me. 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 bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML
Today, I decided to take a nap while listening to my iPod, on the lowest volume possible. My girlfriend woke me up by turning the volume all the way up. I still can't hear out of both ears. FML
Today, I was listening to my iPod while changing the diaper on my baby. One earbud fell out of my ear and onto the changing table so I quickly picked it up without looking and put it back in my ear, only to realize the headphone had fallen onto more than a table. I now have brown earphones. FML
Today, a friend sent me to a guy he knows who repairs various electronics for a very low price. Good news: he fixed my malfunctioning iPad. Bad news: it took me several hours to notice that he'd carved the words DOUCHE and HIPSTER into the back panel. FML
Today, my iPod dropped out of my pocket while I was walking. Trying to be cool, I attempted to kick it back into the air to catch it before it hit the ground. Upon making contact with my foot, It ended up detaching from my headphones and flying 10 feet. Right into a sewer grate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You'd think someone in the apple shop would have just told you: "oh hey you didn't really push the headphones in properly" when you came there to complain the first time. Or am I being naïve now?

in about 5 minutes I would have gotten over how dumb I was. I wouldn't post it online however...

Go **** a chainsaw. The world has far too much sympathy for stupid people.

I wonder what the world would be like if humans never developed sympathy.. Guess we'd be extinct in the first 100 years of our existance.

I bet you've done something as stupid as this. Don't be so arrogant.

Or maybe it's just limited to OP and you, Maka - seriously, this is VERY retarded - not once in my whole life have I done something even a tenth as idiotic; about the worst thing ever is having my phone in one hand and a sweet wrapper in the other and ending up putting my phone in the bin instead of the wrapper. Took me all of two seconds to reach in and take it out.

I guess we wouldn't want "retards" to throw their phone in a bin thinking it was a wrapper. Please don't reproduce? < If your saying that you do something "wrong" you shouldn't reproduce so that humans will only produce "perfect" people such as yourself, then say good bye to man kind.

lol I had the same problem :) I thought it was that the Apple earphones were bad and I didn't wanna push them in any harder in case I didn't need to and broke the interior. it took me about half an hour to figure it out.

bleh. I'm always too scared to plug things in harder. but with the iPod touch, you can tell when it's all the way in, and you only plug it in lightly. so, op, ydi for buying a nano.

You're an idiot.

That's why you get a touch, not a nano.
