Today, I woke up to find out that my phone, which contained all of my pictures and videos from the past year, had completely crashed. Despite trying everything, I couldn't recover any of the data, even from the cloud backup. All those memories, gone forever. FML

The past that suits you best
Today, I found out that sorting and deleting old unnecessary emails to free up space meant reliving the most horrific memories I've ever experienced. Worse yet, I have to keep certain old messages in case these things ever come up again. FML

Good luck with that
Today, I got an email from a company that fired me over two weeks ago. It turns out they forgot to download all my work before deleting my account, and they want me to get it back off the cloud. FML

Today, I deleted a load of junk that was messing up my mother's computer. I don't know how I'm going to tell her I accidentally wiped out all of her wedding photos. FML

Time to move
Today, I updated an e-mail I've saved to drafts and have been updating every day for the last few months to a girl I really adore. In this letter, I told her everything I ever kept from her. Instead of saving it to drafts again, I accidentally sent it. And she's online. FML

Today, my husband accidentally erased some pictures from our hard drive. No worries, nothing major: just everything from our wedding and the birth of our first child. FML

Another case for Alanis Morrissette
Today, I was trying to back up my messaging information on an app so if it ever got deleted I wouldn’t lose all my information. It ended up glitching out and erasing all my contacts and messages. Now I can’t even message back the guy I like that I’m not ignoring him. There goes that relationship. FML

IMPORTANT
Today, I was cleaning out my email folders and found a message I'd sent myself five years ago with the subject "IMPORTANT." I opened it, expecting something useful. It was a reminder saying, "Remember to look up what this is about." I apparently trusted future me far too much. FML

Can you not move them back out of the *trash* folder?

It was your fault. Sucks, but you did indeed do it. But the fact that you not only deleted them, but emptied the trash is astounding. I've accidentally formatted the wrong drive before (goodbye backup!) which was pretty lousy. The windows installer used different drive letters in DOS so I deleted the letter that I was used to having, only realizing instantly later that the drive sizes did not match the letter. Still my fault.

That is nothing, my friend's computer just crashed and he lost EVERYTHING on his entire computer... including over $400 in itunes purchases! Emails shouldn't matter if they're from 3 years ago, thats a long friggin' time.

Why does it matter? Who goes back and reads 3 year old emails? It sounds like you have no life to ****
