Today, I ordered an iPad to replace a broken tablet in a haste. I managed to order one of the only ones that doesn't support an Apple pencil. This is exactly the only feature I SERIOUSLY need. Can one be more stupid? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while mopping the kitchen, I ended up slipping and and knocked over the table that had my mom’s iPad on it. The screen shattered; I sprained my wrist. I asked my mom to take me to the ER. She called me "selfish" because her iPad screen repair would "cost more." FML
Today, I was shopping when I overheard a woman telling an employee that she was buying an iPad for her 5-year-old son. Annoyed, I turned around and ranted about how he should have more age appropriate toys. Then she explained that her son is autistic and will be using the iPad to communicate. FML
Today, I fell asleep with my new iPad on my chest, so when I woke up and pushed my duvet off me, the iPad went flying off me and broke on the floor. It’s my first ever iPad, my mom bought it for me for high school and I’ve only had it a week. FML
Today, a friend sent me to a guy he knows who repairs various electronics for a very low price. Good news: he fixed my malfunctioning iPad. Bad news: it took me several hours to notice that he'd carved the words DOUCHE and HIPSTER into the back panel. FML
Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML
Today, I had to back down and buy a popsocket, which I'd declared useless and stupid since they first came out. I had to buy one after dropping my phone on my toddler's head while he was sleeping. FML
Today, at work, I quickly bought plane tickets on an iPad. I should have taken my time doing it, because now, thanks to autocorrect, I have two tickets for a girl with the first name of Eyelid. FML
Today, my dad borrowed my new iPad to amuse him while he was in the shower without my knowledge. The iPad is now completely ruined, and my dad is refusing to buy me a new one. He says, "How was I to know that it wasn't waterproof?" FML
Today, I got a new phone. Only after berating the Sprint employee and Apple support desk because I could not call, text, or access the Internet did I find out that I didn't need to buy a new phone. It was just on airplane mode. FML
Today, my iPad is too old to use. It often shows me a white screen or “loading” when I use it to surf the internet. The apps in the device close suddenly by themselves several times. Siri sometimes gives me an answer, but my parents aren’t going to solve these problems… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So cancel the order.

I'm sure one CAN, potentially, be more stupid, but you at least have set an awfully high bar for others to try to reach.

I also ordered an IPAD that was unable to use the Apple Pen, the only one to do so. This was a problem as I purchased the tablet to specifically begin using Photoshop on it. Luckily, there are quite a few substitutes for the Apple Pen that you can research on YouTube and purchase on Amazon that work universally for tablets in the same way. Buying one of those could save you the trouble of returning the tablet. I've found it, I ordered this one: "MoKo Universal Active Stylus Pen, 2-in-1 Capacitive Fine Point Touch Screen Tablets Stylus Pencil Fit with Apple iPad, Mini/Air/Pro, IPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Touchscreen Devices & Smartphones - Black" Very, very handy for drawing illustrations. I hope that this helps.

Adonit makes several great styli that might work out, depending on your needs.

The current basic iPad is the version 8. That one works with the Apple Pencil first version, but not the second version Apple Pencil. I got that one and the first version Apple Pencil and it works fine. By the way you pair the Apple Pencil with the iPad by turning on the Bluetooth and momentarily plugging the top of the Apple Pencil into the lighting connector on the side of the iPad - Which is also how you charge the Apple Pencil.
