Today, I woke up from a nap to find my little brother playing some games on my phone. A few hours later I come to find he had deleted all 500 pictures from my trip to Europe last month. He needed more space to download the games. Mom says he's too young to understand what he did wrong. He's 14. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my little brother left the house with my phone by accident. He called from his school to ask for my password so he could access his email. When he got home and gave me my phone back, while closing the open apps, my photo gallery was open. When I clicked on it, my naked selfie was open. FML
Today, my 5 year old brother wanted to look through my phone. I know he can't read so I gave it to him. He was, however, able to get at my "private" photo album. FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML
Today, my older brother gave me his old phone. He didn't realize that he hadn't deleted his pictures. I found a bunch of him wearing my underwear and bras. FML
Today, my brother deleted all traces of the novel I've been working on for three years from my laptop. The reason? When I was born I "stole all of Mum and Dad's attention." He's 24. FML
Today, my little brother grabbed my boobs and wouldn't let go until I pried his hands off. When I told my mom, her response was, "Get over it. He's a little kid who doesn't know any better." He's 14 years-old. FML
Today, my little sister got mad at me because I wouldn't let her read my IM conversation. I took a nap and when I woke up, my laptop was gone. She took it on a trip to her grandparents' house, six hours away. Nude pictures of me and my paper due tomorrow are on the laptop. FML
Today, I found out that while I was at college, my brother downloaded three terabytes of porn on my laptop and blamed it on me. My parents believed him. FML
Today, the girl I was babysitting was being disrespectful to me, so I took away her stuffed animal and told her that she couldn't have it back until she apologized. She ended up sneaking onto my laptop and deleting all the pictures I'd saved from my recent vacation to Europe. FML
Today, I gave my little brother my iPhone so he could play a game. I soon forgot about it, and when I got it back two hours later, there was pudding and a couple of big cracks in it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What a dick, wait till he goes on a trip and takes pictures then take your revenge.

Yikes. Maybe see if there's any sort of recovery software for phones? Should back up ASAP (phones can corrupt and lose things) and lock your phone in future.

That sucks, op. But, you kind of deserve it for not having a pass code on that thing (and only let others on with your supervision). That is like the #1 rule of keeping your stuff safe. Still, that must've been really annoying. Next time you take a trip, back up pictures IMMEDIATELY (or at least before you let anyone else on).

Somewhat. But while he may change background photo, put rude websites on the browser, open an annoying YouTube video etc, my brother wouldn't delete my photos. I don't think many would.

How do you know that the phone doesn't have a passcode? I alternate between 3 number passcodes, and 3 pattern passcodes. However, my little brother has known me for the 18 years he's been alive, and because of that, he tends to know what passcodes me, my older brother, and my parents use. Just like the rest of us know what passcodes he, and everyone else in our family, uses as well.

Try the Jenny Don't Lose My Number passcode... 867 5309!!! Reverse it. He's young. He'll never get it.

#11 Not just for not having a pass code for the phone. How did his brother also know his password for downloading from the AppStore (or equivalent for android)?
Arwen_Evenstar 37
On Android, a password is optional for paid for games. But there's a ton of app supported, I'm not even sure password protection is an option to stop all downloads.

Sell his gaming system and when your mom yells at you tell her you're too old to give a shit

You shouldn't advocate that someone should break the law for revenge, especially when the asshat of a brother didn't break the law either. Instead, wipe the hard drive of all his games and systems. See how he likes to start at square one for EVERYTHING.

I'm sorry op that really sucks maybe you could try something to back up your pics next time...

This reminds me so much of my brother who is the same age as your's. He does the most retarded and vile shit everyday but gets away with it for the exact same reason. Just this year he killed my three fish by over feeding them (when he had no permission to go into my bedroom in the first place) and didn't tell anyone. He poured the entire container of fish food into the bowl and acted shocked when he found out they didn't eat that much everyday.

If my brother did that I'd kick his ass. Luckily he's not stupid like that and my mom knows she cant use that excuse.
slutfactory 17
Trust me, I wanted to. But he's a little weird anyway so my mom sticks up for him a lot. I can't decide if he's just weird and stupid or if he really has issues.

You should have put them on your cloud

Who said it was an iPhone? There are other types of phones you can take pictures and play games on, you know. Like, all of them.

That is so infuriating to read. I absolutely hate it when some people have no respect for other people's privacy/content and end up doing something disastrous as a result of that disrespectful indifference. Sorry that happened, OP. I empathize with you. Your mom is also an ignorant idiot for not punishing the little whelp >:(

Why did this get dislikes?
rieebee 23
because of the smiley, the space between with and out, 'em' and most likely the username too.

You could nap peacefully without worrying about your password less phone, for one.

If you have an iPhone, check the Cloud.

Delete any video game save files he has every 2 weeks. That means anything. If he has Call of Duty, reset his progress in multiplayer.

This is evil. I approve. Appropriate revenge is appropriate.
