Today, a friend sent me to a guy he knows who repairs various electronics for a very low price. Good news: he fixed my malfunctioning iPad. Bad news: it took me several hours to notice that he'd carved the words DOUCHE and HIPSTER into the back panel. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad borrowed my new iPad to amuse him while he was in the shower without my knowledge. The iPad is now completely ruined, and my dad is refusing to buy me a new one. He says, "How was I to know that it wasn't waterproof?" FML
Today, my friend spilt orange juice all over my iPad. She then went ahead to clean it off by rinsing it with water. FML
Today, it seemed like a great day. Right up until the point to where I accidentally damaged a friend's MacBook Pro. Not only do I have to pay for it, but the only way I'll be able to afford it is by returning every single Christmas gift I get. FML
Today, while mopping the kitchen, I ended up slipping and and knocked over the table that had my mom’s iPad on it. The screen shattered; I sprained my wrist. I asked my mom to take me to the ER. She called me "selfish" because her iPad screen repair would "cost more." FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML
Today, I noticed my dishwasher wouldn't turn on. After shelling out $120 call-out fee, I was a little miffed when the technician walked in, pressed the 'unlock' function and walked out again. FML
Today, at the Apple Store, the crew, security, manager, technician, and fellow customers alike, never bothered covering up to laugh at me when I went there to have my phone fixed. Someone somehow hacked my iPhone, and when I use the Face ID, it makes a bloodcurdling scream of fear in full volume, then shuts down. FML
Today, I finally got my laptop back after my friend broke it a few weeks ago. As I walked back into our place with my laptop in my bag, the same friend burst out and tackled me. My bag fell and slammed into the floor. Guess who has to pay for another repair. FML
Today, in an attempt to be frugal, I tried to repair my own sometimes-faulty toaster. Turns out I unplugged the wrong kitchen appliance, which I only discovered by electrocuting myself while pulling it apart. Now it's definitely broken, will need replacing, and I have a burn. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

God forbid someone buy a product with their own money because they like it.

What OP's repairman did is the equivalent of messing with someone's food in the drive-thru before serving it...

As a former Galaxy Tab user, I can honestly say the iPad is much, much better...

#10 Every comment of yours I see is either thread-jacking, or involves some sort advice based off moon logic.

Love watching people argue how their personal preference is a fact.

Amen. If you don't have the brains to use windows right. Switch to apple, we won't miss yeh,

Before anyone even replies. Here is a preemptive argument: suck Nokia's dick

Wow can anyone say desperate troll.

Although I like the convience of tablets, I hate using ipads. Give me my laptop anyday.
Palirose 22
Considering the only apple product I've ever owned were iPods and no one else could compare to them. Even Microsoft's Zune couldn't take off. Both products have their pros and cons. It's just personal preference after that.

#12 then don't read them.

Not a fan of apple anymore for the complete lack of respect for the clients... The new ios wasn't very customizable and it was way too bright and vibrant for my taste. Love the ipod idea tremendously, love iTunes, dislike the companies useless updates on appearance..update performance and customizability and I'll be sold again.

Oh boy…the apple vs android arguments
alycion 39
We have iPads and an android tablet for testing web sites. I do prefer the iPad. Not because I'm a sheep, but because I find it stronger for the other things I use it for. Operating systems are tools to get things done. I also use both windows and osx. I prefer some things on windows, other on Mac. Limiting yourself to one thing because it's now in to hate on a company is silly. Picking what is stronger for you is a wise consumer decision. Putting down what is not stronger for you when it is for someone else is just middle schoolish.

My whole bone to pick with Apple is the fact that it's propritery. I don't understand people who want something that has little to no ability to be customized to their unique preferences. But, that's just me.

2- So someone is an Apple fanboy because they have an iPad. I'm an Android user, but frankly, I'm tired of it, I like the personalization and all, but I'm tired of the software and hardware issues. Apple is better hands down.

Screw both. Ill stick to my pen and paper. If anyone needs me, ill be on my stranded island sending messages in a bottle when there isn't a tropical storm that prevents me to do so and forces me to use a phone for communication that mysteriously works out here with no logical explanation.

Do it back... to his car, OP.
skilova4lifezzz 19
You know. If only there was a thing that could cover the back of the device and protect the screen from damage.. With iPads we could even make one with a flap to protect the screen when you aren't using the iPad :0 we could call them cases!!!
SMHsohard 22
Yeah, and his point was that with a case on, no one would be able to see it, and it wouldn't have to be explained by OP. Still a dick move on the repairman's part,though.
geekbuscus 19
No one else may be able to see it but if OP ever wanted to trade it in or sell it he'd be SOL. Companies and most people don't want to give someone money for damaged goods.
fucMyLifeSoHard 18
23- Ooh, you put a case on it. It doesn't erase the fact that the words are still on the iPad.
efettes 19
What a douche.
keeksiscool 8
just buy a case that will cover the back
Raidriar 14
But it's unacceptable that anyone would do damage someone's property (and being paid for it) due to personal preferences.

Go smack him in the head with your iPad.
capslockisgood 19
Then get him to fix it again.
Nyx_fml 23
Maybe he just doesn't charge much because he considers all these carving opportunities a bonus.
lochie360 9
Perhaps he's misunderstood, and is really just trying to practice to become a stone mason, on your iPad :p
perdix 31
Smart cover. In this case, it will be literally smart because you can get the repair cheap and hide your hipster douchiness. Well, unless it's that obvious.
