Today, after five months of working overtime and doing my own repairs around the house, such as patching my own roof to save money, I walk into my home office. I find my $2500, week old, top of the line laptop won't turn on because it's drenched in water. Apparently there's a leak in the roof. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to my living room covered in 8 cm of water. My $2k computer was on that floor. FML
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, while working on my laptop, I accidentally spilled a glass of water. I quickly moved my laptop out of the way of the oncoming stream. It fell on the floor and broke. FML
Today, I got my laptop back after sending it to Dell to repair water damage after a night of partying. Dell returned my computer unrepaired, saying it was unfixable. When I called to ask why they couldn't fix it, they told me it was a biohazard. Someone got drunk and pissed on my laptop. FML
Today, to save money, I wanted to fix my own leaky roof instead of hiring someone. When I got on the roof, the ladder fell. As it was falling, it broke three windows and snagged the siding of my house ripping over half of it off. FML
Today, within 20 minutes of waking up, my dad gave me a pained look and said: "Uhh, turns out your laptop isn't waterproof." FML
Today, when I came home from work, my computer was drenched with water. My sister claimed there was smoke coming out of it. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation at work but accidentally spilled water all over my laptop. I tried to dry it off, but it wouldn't turn on. I had to give the presentation awkwardly using my phone and everyone took the piss out of me and my shoddy performance. FML
Today, it's raining at my work. Not outside, inside, because our building's boiler broke and all the pipes are dripping with condensation. I have to sit at my desk under an umbrella to protect my laptop and desk phone. The HVAC company said, "Don't worry, this is normal." FML
Today, I came home from work to find my house was flooded from a broken pipe under the sink. My house had just recently had new wood floors, carpet and electrics installed because 6 months earlier my house had been flooded by the same pipe breaking. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you're so poor, why aren't you getting the bottom-of-the-line computer? When I was broke, I had a POS no-name PC clone. Now, that I am working, I have the computer I want. Don't buy things you can't afford! And, BTW, YDI for fraudulently billing your clients for overtime when you were doing your own home repairs.

YDI for leaving a Laptop out, honestly, leaving it out all the time is just ASKING for it to get broken, next time, shell out $20 for a laptop bag.

The only epic failure worse than the OP belongs to a guy called Tiger Woods. Next time don't be so cheap with your roof, especially when you can fork out so much money on a laptop.

Actually it's called a warranty.

Most warranties don't cover water damage. ASUS does tho.

So do Dell and IBM if you have the right laptop. At $2500 and only a week old, you probably would.

The laptop was probably bought on credit before the roof repairs were a concept. ..or already paid for. Either way, hoard your nuts people, WINTER'S COMING.

shouldn't you get some kind of plan that covers damages like that? I mean, I know their very expensive but it would save you the troubles. But I am not going to say ydi, but that you learned your lesson. Good luck, and I bet you could get some money off of that if you opened it up and sold the removable parts!

Lesson: If you're a shitty repairman, don't do repairs.
