Today, I went to the UK for the first time, and had the most amazing time with my girlfriend, catching it all on tape. When I got back to South America, I realized someone had stolen my camera. FML

Today, at a family reunion, we all squeezed in for a picture. I set the self-timer and ran to get in it. 2 seconds before the picture went off, some guy came up, stole the camera, and ran away. FML

Today, I found my car had been robbed. The thieves stole my GPS, my iPod and my digital camera. While I was filing the police report, the officer recommended I take photos for insurance purposes. Then she remembered my camera had been stolen. She actually started laughing. FML

Today, I went to a friend's wedding. I took stupid photos all day long and when came the moment that the bride entered the church, my battery died. FML

Today, I dropped my camera into water. The good news is that it's waterproof. The bad news is I dropped it off London Bridge. All the pictures and videos of my four-month trip around Europe were on it. FML

Today, I found out that one of my best mates had his backpack, clothes, and everything else in it stolen at an airport overseas. I was feeling sorry for him all day. It took me 9 hours to remember that I actually loaned him my backpack for his trip. FML

Today, I got home from a family trip to Disney World. I had taken nearly 300 photos of our trip on my new digital camera. As our car pulled into the driveway, I was using my camera to try to delete one unflattering shot of me. I accidentally deleted every picture off the memory card. FML

If you were the photographer at the wedding, it should have been your uttermost and foremost responsibility to get those pictures safe and store in multiple copies. Sorry for your camera, that part is FML, but the wedding pictures are YDI.

YDI for not backing up

There's nothing wrong with her friend eloping... It certainly doesn't mean she deserves to have her wedding photos stolen. Not everyone wants - or can afford - a big ridiculous showy wedding with five photographers and a few hundred guests. Geez... OP: It sucks that this happened. I'm an amateur photographer and I know I'd hate if I lost my pictures (not to mention my camera!). But that's the very reason I put any important photos on my computer immediately, so if something WERE to happen to my camera, at least I would still have the pictures. And I also watch my camera very closely when I'm out. I don't know the circumstances of the theft, but you have to be REALLY careful of your valuables, especially when traveling. So both FYL and YDI.

There is a website called "i found your camera" or some such. Maybe you can get it back?

You really should've put her wedding photos on your computer before you went on vacation...

It sucks that your camera was stolen, but YDI. You really should have backed them up or, in the case of a non-digital camera, developed and stored them before leaving.

This stuff happens! It's really bad. My ex was the photographer at my dad's best friend's wedding. We came back from the wedding & we stayed at my parents' house for the night, as it was late & we were both a bit drunk (as happens at weddings). My mum got the pet hamster out, which proceeded to ignore all the treats she put out for it, got into the ex's work bag (with his laptop in, containing the sole copies of ALL 800 WEDDING PICS) & chewed the shit out the power cable to the laptop. We had to order him new stuff, just so he could get the pics off. Safe to say, he wasn't too keen on the the hamster after that. Funny thing is, his work bag has some M&Ms, half a Mars bar and some crisps in it. She totally ignored them and went straight for the electronics.
