Today, I worked a short shift at work, getting sent home early because it was slow. In the time I was gone, my family decided surprise me by rearranging my room and put in my new desk. They also surprised me when I learned that they'd spilled a slushie on my very expensive computer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I returned to work after a restful week-long holiday. Before I left, I'd finished a huge assignment which is due this week. I walk in to find a water pipe has burst just above my desk, flooding our office with water and ruining my computer. Happy New Year to me. FML
Today, at work a little girl wanted a slushie. Instead of pushing the tab in, she lifted it up and broke the machine, spilling slushie all over the floor. I was the only one working, so I had to clean it all up. I spent the rest of my shift covered in red slushie and smelling like cherry. FML
Today, I spent my lunch break helping a coworker move a desk to another office. When I got back, my own desk had been moved to make room for someone new. Nobody had told me where they’d put it. FML
Today, I was expecting new computer parts so I can upgrade my hardware. I was hoping they would get here before I had to leave for work, but they showed up half an hour after my shift started. Now I have $700 worth of computer hardware sitting on my porch for my whole shift. FML
Today, I was running late for work and, in my rush, spilled coffee all over my shirt. When I finally got to the office, I realized I had forgotten my laptop at home. 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 woke up to my living room covered in 8 cm of water. My $2k computer was on that floor. FML
Today, I had a party at my house. I have a nice laptop that I hook up to the stereo, but someone almost spilt beer on it, so I took it downstairs. Later on in the night, I went down to look something up on it. Someone had taken a shit on it. FML
Today, I was just about to do an important presentation in front of my boss and co-workers. When, without warning I tripped in front of everyone and knocked a VERY expensive computer off the table. How do I know it was so expensive? I'm paying for it. FML
Today, at work in a library, I found a dirty diaper stuffed under one of the public use computer desks. Not only was it leaking, but it had been run over several times by a rolling office chair. I had to clean it up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least they didn't surprise you with an illegal gift

That really sucks, but at least they had the best intentions in mind and didn't purposely ruin it (like in other FMLs).

I want a slushie now

I think it would have been good if they told you what happened. And I assume it is a laptop? Depending on how much time elapsed and how sealed your computer's keyboard is, there may be a way to salvage it. With the former, if it has been a while, it may be required for you to remove the case and clean it (after using a strap or something to diffuse the static electricity). If your keyboard is well insulated, you may be in luck, and it may just be some sticky keys you have to clean (no pun intended).

It's the thought that counts.

I hope they're replacing it

Did it break? if yes, get them to replace it. if no, does it perform worse? If yes, get them to replace it, if no, you're an idiot

Explain to me, (and the rest of the community), how OP is the idiot for someone else's mistake.

Their heart was in the right place. I understand your point but the tried to do something nice.

I'm going to guess they spilled it in the keyboard .... How expensive of a keyboard did you have ?

They spilt it on a computer, not a keyboard. That implies the tower, not the keyboard which would likely be separate.

Instead of doing that they should of paid for a new computer

Make sure they replace it. I hope you didn't have any thing super important on there.
