Today, my girlfriend and her mother bought a hanger for my $2000 guitar as a birthday present. They wanted to surprise me by hanging it on the wall. They screwed it upside down, so before I came home it fell off and my guitar broke. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML
Today, my sister just had a huge fight with my mom. After that, she thought it was appropriate to smash my $1,000 guitar to "blow off some steam." FML
Today, while video chatting with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the country, I thought I'd play a song for her on my guitar. The string broke and hit me in the face. I burst into tears and had to hang up. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally played the new guitar I bought to replace the one he broke. He used a $1000 guitar to play me a moving song about my butt. FML
Today, my mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML
Today, I dropped my 6-month-old $3,500 guitar. Luckily, it had a one year warranty from the store so I drove back. It was shut down. 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 was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

People really shouldn't touch other people's instruments, especially one that costs so much. It was a nice thought but a $2000 guitar will be tough to replace, especially since instruments are like children to musicians :( FYL

I hate it too when someone touches my guitars. Had a neighborsboy who was feeding my cat when I was in vacation and I told him to not touch my guitars. When I came back they all stood in the rack on the other side. Next year, I put them all away in the boxes. I wouldn't touch other peoples things and I want the same for me.

OP, remember it's the thought that counts. Although not breaking an expensive guitar would've been a better thought to have..

So men aren't the only ones who refuse to read the instructions, huh?

Well that went down like a lead balloon. Should have left well enough alone.

that's why you DON'T let anyone touch your guitars. Sorry OP. As a fellow guitarist that makes me sad.

Well I hope they can afford to shell out $2000.

Even then, unless that guitar can be repaired, it wouldn't be the same. Instruments, especially ones you've had a while, aren't so easily replaced.

I'm so sorry. I know I was heartbroken and so mad when I came home from a trip to Italy to find out that my sister and her friends broke my beloved stratocaster. They took it out of it's case and used it without permission and accidently stepped on it. Seriously hope you can possibly get it fixed or maybe your gf/her mom could buy you a new one.
