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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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.

You should honestly stand up to your mother... She is totally being biased

There's always more love for the youngest child.

And next time she wants you do to something with him, or take him somewhere, drag this up. "Mom, he's not old enough to know not to damage other people's property. He's just too young to be trusted in (a mall, a baseball game, your car, etc.)."

That's horrible, next time make sure to back up your photos right away and get a pass code on your phone

I would've wooped his ass and told my mom, "well, now he knows what gets him a can of woop ass and what doesn't" even if it gets me grounded

Put a passcode lock on your phone and don't tell him what it is. Unfortunately that won't bring back the pictures that are gone, but it will stop your brother from deleting things without permission anymore. Also, her mom is stupid for believing that he didn't know what he did wrong, he was smart enough to delete them in the first place!

If it's an iPhone you can use photo stream where you log into your game center on a new device and if it's android you can go on your google plus and they will be there under photos

If they were that important to you you should have backed them up on a server or online.

I feel your pain. My freshman year of college, my Ethics class had to write a 30 page paper as our final. I'd already finished it a week prior when my little brother asked to borrow my laptop because our desktop had a virus that made it unusable. The next morning, I got my laptop back, and not only was my Ethics paper gone, but so was the 10 page report I had to do for my Statistics class, and the 20 page paper for my English class. According to him, he couldn't tell which papers were his and mine, so he deleted mine so that he wouldn't get confused. My mom also had the same reaction, and told me that my brother was too young to understand what he did, even though he was 17 at that point. From then on, I learned not to let anyone use my laptop, and I now email myself papers, and add them to my dropbox when I finish them.

Android backs up to Google. iPhone backs up to, ah, backs ups to.....something. Did you have that turned on?

For something important like that thr photos always end up somewhere else so i don't lose them if my phone decides it doesn't want them anymore.
