Today, my telephone line was hit by lightning. I discovered that not only will lightning fry a router, it will also destroy any PCs connected to that router via network cables. I also discovered that a $10 phone line surge protector would have saved nearly $3,000 worth of PC equipment. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

You lucky you. Surge protector worth 10 bucks would probably set your house on fire.

Another "I'm fucking stupid, FML". Stop looking for sympathy, we agree; you're fucking stupid. Fuck off.

Indeed he could've known that before... Though insurances could pay all your loss back.

this is the chief reason for me using laptops and wireless. i can continue to work during a storm, risking only my (relatively) cheap $90 wifi router. cheaper than $3k, anyway.
