Today, I learned a valuable lesson, never leave your "Let It Be" album, which you paid $489 for on eBay out on your desk. My brother also learned something, old records make for very breakable, one use frisbees. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home from work to find my kids playing Frisbee with my collection of rare, valuable vinyl records. The term "smash hit record" took on a whole new meaning. FML
Today, my little brother watched an old video of The Who, who are know for smashing up their guitars and such. He decided it would be cool to try it with mine. That guitar was worth over $3000. FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Today, the framed memorabilia that I spent $195 on last week came crashing to the floor. It was on my wall for less than 2 hours. The picture is torn and the glass is shattered, but at least the frame is alright. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I received a signed vintage Beatles' album from my wife. Awesome right? It's the same album some jerk way over-bidded me for on eBay. That jerk was my wife, using my credit card. FML
Today, I asked my father if I could have my grandfather's old vinyls, record player, and vintage tube radio. He told me he threw those out years ago because, "Who listens to that crap anymore, now that we have mp3s?" FML
Today, my brother inherited a book from our grandmother that, in his ignorance, he donated to a charity shop because he’s “not a big reader”. I raced to buy it back, but someone had already bought it. The book in question: a mint condition, 1954 first edition Lord of the Rings, valued at £5000. FML
Today, I finally had enough to buy my dream guitar, made in 1965. I buckled it into the passenger seat because it unfortunately didn't come with the original case. Once home, I tripped over my own feet before reaching my front door and scratched it on the concrete. It wasn't in mint condition when I bought it, but now it looks like it had a bad relic job. FML
Today, I lent a pair of expensive headphones to a "friend" for the weekend. As a thank-you, he bought me a soda. He moved this weekend, taking the headphones with him. I lost a $250 pair of headphones for a $1 soda. FML
Today, two days after getting a fanny pack so I could more easily store my stuff when I'm out and about, I accidentally broke it without even trying. Don't be cheap. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

two things make me believe you have no idea about collecting vintage vinyl. 1) You payed $489 for a Let It Be. unless it was a second pressing (which is doubtful) or a maggie mae release, you got gyped. 2) you believe that having the actual record itself intact determines the value. serious collectors know that it's the cover and the condition that it is in that determines value. good thing is you probably didn't lose as much value as you thought you did. bad thing is, chances are, even if it was in OPTIMAL condition to begin with, you probably weren't going to get over $75 anyways

Do the same with his Jonas Brothers CDs. You know he has them.

I'd kill him. Or charge him for a new one with interest...

You overpaid for that. I got that album (once owned, twice played) at a store in birmingham for $200

Kick his ass, make him eat the broken pieces of your vinyl, and then make him buy you a new one.

That's awesome. The Beatles suck, so your brother did you a favor. Go listen to something that doesn't sound like baby boomers making life mistakes.

"newest addition to the troll gang"? It sounds like you are a troubled abandoned child whose parents are child molestors/drunks and are now looking for something to be a part of due to a history of mental retardation.
