Today, my young stepdaughter decided that she should store her coins in my laptop's card reader slot and in the CD drive. I just bought the laptop last week. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

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 visited my girlfriend's apartment for the first time. I guess she forgot to do some spring cleaning before I showed up, because I saw my laptop on her couch. The same laptop that was stolen from my house along with several other valuables last week. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

At least she is giving you some money to repair it.

Why is she going to all the trouble hoarding coins? If she wants to save up, she just needs to press Ctrl + S.

See if you can repair it? Maybe you'll get more money back that what you'd expect

My new one doesn't. I never used the CD/DVD drive on my last one. XD

Hopefully the laptop can be taken apart and the coins removed without damaging it, or the machine is still under warranty. Whatever the case, at least she'll know not to do something like this again. I know it's frustrating but children tend to be, chin up OP, in a year or so you'll look back and laugh about this.

it's always you brand new things or something antique that's your favorite that children seem to love to mess with the most. I sorry OP I hope you weren't too hard on her.

Most places let you return computers within 30 days of purchase. Just take it back, say something didn't work right with it, and get a new one. Then keep it out of reach of your stepdaughter

When I was 3-4 years old whenever I found a button I would put it away in a safe place. That safe place being the VHS player, which kept breaking 'for no reason'. A nice repair man finally showed my mom the reason why and she started putting away the buttons I found herself. Kids.

There should be some kind of message saying, "keep away from the reach of children". Also, any adult should know better.
