Today, I finally found out why my graphics card in my PC had been overheating recently. My brother disconnected the card's fan because it was too loud when he was gaming. I guess I can always spend another $750. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I returned home to find out that my new and very expensive computer had overheated. I confronted my mom, and she told me that she had covered up the fan because she didn't like the noise. FML
Today, I blew out the dust from my GPU, and when I went to reinstall it, it turned out that I had inadvertently shorted something and now it's dead. FML
Today, I almost paid off my credit card. Then, a couple of hours later, my air conditioner broke. Found out it’s 12 years-old and leaking Freon. I’m going to have to get a whole new unit, which will cost me $6,500 to $10,050. FML
Today, the family computer kept overheating. My four-year-old son thought the solution was to pour a nice, cold cup of water on it. FML
Today, I opened up my laptop to replace a faulty chip inside, which took me half an hour. When I closed it all up again, I saw the replacement part in its packaging on my desk. FML
Today, I just found out that I was missing almost $500 from my debit card. Turns out my brother used my card to simp on a streamer. When I confronted him, he said, "But you would have simped on her either way." FML
Today, I took the motherboard out of my computer so I could put more RAM and a new video card in. While I was in the bathroom my mom threw it all out because it 'looked like garbage'. FML
Today my brother disconnected my internet and made my task bar disappear. I spent 2 hours trying to fix it, when I figured out I just had to restart the computer. Now I'm a little behind on assignments. FML
Today, my brother yelled at me, calling me a "no-good fucking whore", because I couldn't fix his laptop. The same laptop he threw on the floor after screaming "FUCKING HEAL MEEE!" at his game. As ever, my parents took his side, refusing to believe that I can't fix a cracked monitor. FML
Today, nearing the start of what I was hoping to be a relaxing week off, my air conditioning system died. A replacement system will be in the $7000 range, just the amount I'd finally saved for my dream vacation. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess right now you aren't his biggest fan.

Ohh that sucks bro, maybe get your parents to help you pay for it? (Assuming he's not an adult) Also it might be time to educate him on computers.

It might help you to know that you can buy cases with padlocks built in.

Ouch!! I had to RMA an overheating card once so I know your pain. Was it an AMD or Nvidia card OP?

Sounds like he needs a science lesson.

He knew how to open the computer and how to turn off the fan, but he didn't know that it would damage the card?

Or you could charge it dumb ass for the repairs.

If it's your PC and your graphics card, this is on you bro. You should password protect your OS and not allow anyone to use your stuff unless you are willing to have it broken or stolen. I mean, I'd never let my brother drive my car, even if he is a professional car racer.

You may have trust issues.

You have a right to do that with your stuff but understand most people aren't as stuck up. Sure you risk this kind of thing but it's better than pushing people away over meaningless stuff as it's bound to cause conflict in most families.

Put him in a 200 degree room and break all fans in the room. See how he enjoys it.

$750 in Canadian $$ is GTX980 territory. Do....do you still have a brother?

Omg I'm so sorry OP, I would be furious if it was my brother did that.
