Today, my little brother got mad at me, so he colored the entire screen of my new iPod Touch with a black sharpie. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my brother got mad at me for breaking the screen on his phone. He'd already dropped it so many times that the whole screen was cracked to the point that you couldn't see anything on it, but for some reason, I am fully responsible for its destruction because I accidentally delivered the finishing blow. FML
Today, I gave my little brother my iPhone so he could play a game. I soon forgot about it, and when I got it back two hours later, there was pudding and a couple of big cracks in it. FML
Today, I woke up to see my four year-old brother with a sharpie, trying to play “Connect the Dots” with my acne. FML
Today, my brother sent me over a dozen screenshots from his phone, because he couldn't work out why it wasn't capturing all the paint he'd managed to smear on the screen. FML
Today, my brother thought it would be funny to disable my iPod Touch for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, I went to enter my password. I missed a number accidentally. 50 minutes to go. FML
Today, I discovered that my sister coloured in the pages of my college text books with Sharpie as "revenge." FML
Today, my brother decided to help me artificially age some of my artwork by singeing the edges slightly. Apparently "my brother set fire to my homework" isn't a valid excuse. FML
Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML
Today, my younger brother decided it would be fun to slam a door on my hand while I was holding my brand new $200 cell phone that I got for my birthday. Nothing says Happy Birthday like a broken phone to go along with a broken hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

try going over the sharpie with a dry erase marker and wipe if off, the sharpie should mostly come off or atleast lighten,.....lets just say ive been in a similar situation

Awww. That totally sucks. And payback can be a bitch sometimes. Try using denatured alcohol. Gets permanent marker off a lot of hard surfaces.

too bad you didn't have a screen protector, you coulda just peeled it off and been all good.

A Mister Clean Magic Earaser should work if you just barely wet it and carefully scrub. But yea, if that doesn't work you could always sell your little brother on the black market and use the money to get a new iPod.

Definately a small amout of glass cleaner would work on a soft rag. Rubbing alcohol works the best. Use a soft rag as well if that be your choice. Get him back by letting your parents know about this little deed your brother has done you. Nail polish remover and hand sanitizer work because of rubbing alcohol, but some other things in it might affect the screen. I'm not entirely sure on that though.

just fyi, based on my personal experience using acetone, ethanol, or methanol to remove sharpie markings from glassware in labs, acetone and methanol are quite effective, and ethanol may take a few few extra applications to clean as well. HOWEVER, acetone seems to make transparent plastic (polysterene) opaque, whereas ethanol/methanol do not. You may want to avoid the nail polish remover, in case it contains acetone... at least test any cleaner with a small dab somewhere inconspicuous & let it dry.
