Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML
Today, my four year old got mad that he couldn't find his favorite character on the Wii. So, he decided to smash the Wii remote into my $700 LCD TV, shattering the screen. That was the only TV in the house, and the $80 service plan I bought doesn't cover accidental damage. FML
Today, I bought a brand new TV that cost a pretty penny. I took it home and it had a defect. After a lot of arguing, I was able to exchange the TV for another one. I got it home and it worked amazing. Later on, we had a bad rainstorm, which flooded my room and screwed up not only my new TV, but my PS5, Xbox, and laptop. FML
Today, I had to purchase a new flat screen TV for the bar I work at. Last night I was dared to break an ashtray against the wall. I completely missed the wall and smashed the screen of the new TV they bought last month. FML
Today, I spent over $2,000 on a big flatscreen TV. My dad insisted I let him mount it on the wall instead of paying someone to do it. All seemed fine, until the TV came loose and smashed onto the floor. My dad refuses to accept responsibility, and says I should've had a professional install it instead. FML
Today, my son ruined our fairly new 60 inch smart TV by giving it a bath with his squirt gun. FML
Today, my two year-old fell with a toy in her hand. The TV isn't even paid off yet. FML
Today, I finally got a cable box for my TV. When I was connecting the cable, my tv fell and shattered the screen. FML
Today, I threw a party. My drunk boyfriend decided to bring my 50-inch flatscreen TV downstairs from our bedroom. The TV didn't make it. FML
Today, someone took my flatscreen TV at my garage sale because some kid snuck a "free" label onto it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Try throwing the tv at the kid to teach it a lesson?

That child would not have Christmas or a birthday for a decade, I don't even care if they are a toddler.

Or he could ship the TV back and accidentally on purpose pack his kid in the box too. What a stupid bratty kid. I would've kicked him in the nuts.

OP return it to the merchandise store, they should exchange it for another one, manufactures give like 1year warranty.

ever heard of warranty
jcrob 0
manufacturers warranty does not cover "kid throwing toy at screen" why would they warranty that? it's not the tv manufacturers fault... warranty in this case is useless... unless OP can try claim it was broken inside the box before it was delivered or picked up. then the store must replace it

if you can afford a 52 inch tv, you can afford another one.

^^^ idiot. people do this crazy thing called 'budgeting' so they can 'save up' money to purchase things like this. you should try to save up and buy yourself an education.

OP, quickly get accidental damage insurance then in a few weeks claim it through insurance. You won't even have to lie about the kid breaking it.
sublime420 11
I believe thats called insurance fraud...

LMFAOOOO!!!! GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!
dre_bro11 12
180, it's not. it's actually called accidental damage, meaning if you accidentally break something valuable, you're covered. the only thing that may be fraudulent about what I said would be waiting a few weeks after setting accidental insurance up, but if Op doesn't do it this way, they prob won't cover her.

Throw the kid.
sublime420 11
i was refering to 177, who suggested insuring it now, and claiming it broke afterwards. Thats pretty blatently fradulent.

Yeah... he was referring to the OP calling the baby "it".

Yes, because that would totally work.

you guys are utterly stupid. have you ever heard of punishments? I guess not, bratty kids.... smh
cupcakeslayer 0
I think this is a genius idea. then when he/she becomes a teenager you can say "remember breaking the tv when you were a toddler? and how many years you paid for it? well, having unprotected sex is alot like that..."

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
168- have you tried punishing a toddler? it's like punishing a puppy. they dont completely understand so it doesn't work. so I ditto my previous comment for you.

warranty, people. They offer warranties for big ticket items and if you have a toddler you should know a warranty is a very smart decision to shell out the extra 50 bucks or so.
realfigueroa 1
usually warranties wouldn't cover that... unless OP bought it from Costco
cldean24 4
Around here warranties cover just about everything. We don't have a cotsco :(
