Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while I was trying to take off my eye make up, I accidentally used nail polish remover. FML
Today, I managed to accidentally drop an entire cake on my laptop's keyboard. There's so much frosting stuck under the keys, I have no idea how I'm going to clean it out. FML
Today, I learned that nail polish remover is, in fact, VERY flammable. And I learnt it the hard way. FML
Today, I spilled some milk on my laptop. I was pretty sure it would be fine as it was only a bit of milk. While cleaning the residue, I knocked a whole bucket of water into the insides of the laptop. RIP Macbook. FML
Today, I ruined a $1,500 laptop with a 69¢ bowl of ramen noodles. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and drink a tall glass of water whilst doing my assignment that is due in three days. I managed to spill the entire glass over my laptop. I flipped it over and used a hairdryer to dry it off. While doing that, I managed to melt my keyboard. FML
Today, I was putting red nail polish on my nails and put a newspaper on the table to make sure that it didn't spill. I later discovered the nail polish made the newspaper stick to the table. I scrubbed nail polish remover on it, thinking it would help but instead bleached the table. FML
Today, I got angry at my computer, and instead of bashing my keyboard with my fists, I bashed my face on the keyboard. It REALLY hurt. FML
Today, I saw a spot on my computer screen. I tried to use my finger to rub it off. Then, I tried using my nail. Then I tried to windex it off. I continued scratching at it with my nail. A half hour and one scratched screen later, I realized the spot was part of the webpage I was looking at. FML
Today, I ruined my computer screen trying to kill a fly. FML

Even a tiny bit of acetone can eat through the plastic casings that components on a motherboard and that could completely ruin a lot of parts. it it was an important enough part it could short out the motherboard completely.

I doubt a few drops of acetone went past the plate the keyboard is on.. And you can buy a USB keyboard to replace the laptop keyboard. People exaggerate way to much.

Come on guys don't be dumb, the nail polish went down through the keyboard, and got acetone on the motherboard. I think it's pretty obvious here.

Use a desktop they last longer and most parts are replaceable unless you spill nail polish remover on the motherboard

well obviously you're too stupid to own a computer. Because no one in their right mind does their nails at there computer. I mean seriously if you wanted to do your nails why don't you sit down at the living room table and do them. Or even the coffee table in the living room. Big shocker.... Congratulations you have got the idiot award of the year,

Yes, but if it, you know, seeped through the keyboard, it could damage the motherboard and other components below. This is of course assuming it is a laptop, but that's just because I figure OP isn't so much of an imbecile that she wouldn't think to replace a desktop's keyboard.

3 next time it is better not to try to do your nails over your laptop. As computer equipment is very expensive usually I would have to say ydi....
