Today, I was told that all the data on my laptop is unrecoverable after my hard drive crashed. I have been charged £300 for them to tell me this. Feeling sorry for myself, I wrapped myself up in a blanket and turned on my fan radiator as it's so cold… and promptly set my carpet on fire. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my computer crashed and lost all of its data while I was making a back up. FML
Today, I was very cold and tired, so I took a shower to warm up and went to bed. The minute I hopped into bed, it collapsed and broke. I have spent half-an-hour rearranging furniture to get the mattress on to the floor. Now I'm cold again. 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 got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Today, I woke up to my living room covered in 8 cm of water. My $2k computer was on that floor. FML
Today, after five months of working overtime and doing my own repairs around the house, such as patching my own roof to save money, I walk into my home office. I find my $2500, week old, top of the line laptop won't turn on because it's drenched in water. Apparently there's a leak in the roof. 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, 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 burned my butt on the heater when I tried to warm up after my shower. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not your fault. Backing up computer data is for everyone else, not you. And ignore that burning smell. It's not like it's actually on fire yet.

Are you a martian?! Learn some English, please, for heaven's sake. You can't write that someone's a moron when your own sentences are completely illegible. Unless you're four and a half years old, or have no fingers, there's no excuse for it. This poor woman, it sounds like the sort of stuff that happens to me.

Are* You* Why* Yeah and there's this little key, it says "Shift" on it. You use that so you can capitalize things. Amazing, huh? (AMIDOINITRITE? No? Okay. :|)

I just laughed. I'm sorry. I've caused a fire too. Insurance did buy my parents a new bedroom though :)
