Today, the speakers on my laptop weren't working. I worried I'd broken something, and started freaking out. I restarted my computer numerous times and played with the settings for an hour before calling my sister in to help. She looked at it for two seconds, then unplugged my headphones. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was trying to turn on my computer and couldn't. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out what was wrong when I finally called my husband for help and made him leave work. He came in, looked at the wall, and plugged it back in. The look on his face said it all. FML
Today, I spent an hour trying to figure out why my laptop wouldn't charge. I restarted it three times, watched two tutorials, and almost ordered a new charger until I realized that the actual charger wasn't plugged into the wall. FML
Today, my laptop plug got stuck in the wall outlet. I stood there for 10 minutes violently trying to yank it out. My boss came in and screamed at me for making noise. I was angry, so I glared at him and yanked on the plug as hard as I could. It dislodged itself noiselessly and I fell over. FML
Today, I called tech support because my new computer wasn’t turning on. After a long while on the phone, they finally asked if it was plugged in. It wasn’t. I spent way too long troubleshooting with a dead device because I never plugged it into the outlet. FML
Today, I restarted my PC a few times because of a little clicking noise coming from the direction of the tower. No, my hard drive wasn't doing a death rattle, it was music coming from ear buds lying beside said tower on the desk. FML
Today, after I accidentally put my headphones through the washing machine and then drying them out, they somehow still worked, but only in one ear. I was about to accept my fate when the other side suddenly started playing audio at full volume during a quiet train ride. FML
Today, I tried to fix my laptop charger by fiddling around with it using metal tweezers. Not only did I forget to unplug the cord and shocked myself, I also ended up breaking the charger completely. FML
Today, I was listening to music while I wrapped Christmas presents. All was going well when the music was cut off, literally. I snipped the cable to my very expensive headphones in half. FML
Today, my step-mom restarted the computer because she thought she'd downloaded a virus that stopped her from being able to click on anything, erasing my 7-page paper in the process. It turns out it was just the batteries dying in our wireless mouse. FML
Today, I bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML

today I was going to use my new computer and I started it up then on the screen it said to press "any key" I spend all day trying to find the "any key" so then my bro walks in and presses some key, and it worked :) till this day I still can't find the "any key" so I never turn off my computer.

I've done this before. But it only took me like 10 seconds to figure it out. I'm a little slow in the mornings.

op how did you find your way to this site...? did you expect sympathy or did you just want a bunch of random strangers to confirm that you are indeed in need of more education?

Haha, good one. Yeah I tend to do things like this occasionally, I'll be talking on the phone with my girlfriend but frantically looking for my phone, then I'm like wait a minute... Or one time driving home from school I was like omg I lost my keys, after about 10 seconds of frantic searching it hit me that I was driving. So I can understand where you're coming from. When I look to fix something I usually look at the simple options first, ie. Is it plugged in (or in your case NOT plugged in) and things of that nature.
