Today, I forgot my headphones at home. When I got to work I found out that today was also the day the band next door had decided to practice their only song for 8 hours. FML

Today, I went to the gym. Once in the changing room, I realized I'd left my headphones at home. I had to work out without any music, so I spent the next 90 minutes being reminded how loud and obnoxious some gym-goers can be. FML

Today, I lost my earbuds on the subway to work, so I had to listen to my boss's terrible music all day. FML

"If I could turn back time…"

Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML

Today, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML

Today, I was walking home, when I realized I didn't have my phone on me. After retracing my steps, I realized that I'd been listening to music from my phone the entire time. FML

Today, I have a cold, and was stuck sleeping in bed. My roommate decided to wake me up by sticking headphones in my ears and playing heavy metal on full volume. This is the third time this week. FML

Today, I had to study for an important test but I could barely focus because my roommate had his music blasting at full volume. Since we get along well, I decided to put up with it. I just found out he forgot to turn it off and left over 6 hours ago. FML

What gauge strings are you using??

Today, I forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML

Today, I had a nasty headache so I tried to take a nap. Unfortunately, my college had a homecoming parade a block away from where I live. I never knew our marching band sounded that awful. FML

Today, I woke up with a skull-splitting headache. I braved the wind and freezing temperatures to get to work. Today is also the day my boss thought it would be cute to let the elementary school band play at our office. FML

Buy a cheap pair of earbuds to keep at work in case this happens... I started doing that after forgetting mine during loud construction.

You should play out the scene from the Aerosmith/Run DMC video and bust through the wall to start singing. WALK THIS WAY! TALK THIS WAY!

I don't know how it works there, but here in the US I called the police on a band that was playing for hours on end outside my workplace. That wasn't the first time they did it, either. I reported them for disturbing the peace. They were out of tune and they were playing the same crap in an endless loop. The sound never stopped. The police came and made them stop.
