Today, while I was on my laptop, I decided to take a nap. Little did I know that my leg was covering up the cool air intake underneath the machine. I woke up an hour later with a first degree burn on my thigh. From a laptop. FML

Today, I got home after a long day and collapsed onto my bed… forgetting I'd left my laptop open on it. Now I have an expensive, broken pillow. FML
Today, I was cleaning my room and set my burnt out light bulb on my computer chair without any second thought. Later, I sat on the chair, the light bulb shattered and I got a huge gash on my butt. FML
Today, I burned my butt on the heater when I tried to warm up after my shower. FML
Today, I woke up with a carpet burn. From sleeping. Alone. In my bed. FML
Today, while working on my laptop, I accidentally spilled a glass of water. I quickly moved my laptop out of the way of the oncoming stream. It fell on the floor and broke. FML
Today, I injured myself in the geekiest way possible; I managed to crush my nipple while closing my laptop. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and drink a tall glass of water whilst doing my assignment that is due in three days. I managed to spill the entire glass over my laptop. I flipped it over and used a hairdryer to dry it off. While doing that, I managed to melt my keyboard. FML
Today, I took a quick nap in my car during my lunch break. I'd set an alarm but forgot to turn my car off, having switched the AC on due to the blistering heat. The cool air lulled me to sleep. When I woke up, my boss was knocking on my window. Apparently, I'd knocked the car into neutral and it had rolled into his parking spot. FML
Today, I was baking cookies. When I took the tray out of the oven, I closed the door, but it bounced back open and hit me in the back of the knees. That caused me to sit down on the hot oven door. I was only wearing my short bathrobe and no underwear. I really burned my ass and, um… stuff. FML
Today, I was taking medicine for my sinus problems and trying to write an essay. I got most of the way done, then unexpectedly fell asleep on my keyboard. When I woke up, my face was wet. I drowned my laptop in my drool. FML

I hope this will teach you a valuable lesson - don't be such a sad-act, get off the computer for once in your life!

Why would you leave your laptop on your lap when you sleep? That's asking for trouble, your just lucky that it didn't fall off and smash. YDI.

How could you not feel that? When I'm wearing PANTS and I'm AWAKE my legs get hot if my laptop is on them too long. It's not that hard to figure out something like that could happen. And you're dumb for keeping it on you while you slept. If it fell on the floor and broke I'd laugh

that sucks... my laptop turns off if it gets too hot.. which sucks because it does it often when its on my lap or the bed.. but it avoids scenerios like this

I don't know how people say it's impossible to fall asleep with your laptop, I fall asleep watching a movie or something on mine nightly. Unless you have a bed the size of a cot, or you for some reason thrash uncontrollably while sleeping, it's not really an issue. People need to stop overreacting. It's the internet and not every FML is going to be some horrific tragedy, quit being keyboard jockey douchenozzles.

Haha that sucks. I don't even have to fall asleep for my laptop to start burning my leg. If I sit with it on my lap for an hour or more it starts to burn. Some people are overreacting to this FML too, but it is totally an understandable situation.

Hahaha, I had that happen all the time when I had a laptop, minus the falling asleep part. I had a burn on my thigh that didn't heal for months after I stopped using my laptop.
