Today, I googled for an hour how to open my CD player on my laptop. Turns out, there is none. They just put a space there to make it look like a CD player. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML
Today, I bought a CD off a man who always plays Spanish guitar in the subway. When I got to work and tried playing the CD, it was blank. I paid $15 for a blank CD. FML
Today, I tried to look for a copy of a CD that my mom wanted after Amazon lost it. For some reason, that specific CD can only be ordered online. None of the stores have it in stock and the one store I tried wouldn't allow me to use the "ship to store" option on their website. FML
Today, I found out that my old DVD player had stopped reading my DVDs. I had the dumb idea to stick my finger in there to see what the problem was. I found the problem, which was that my fingernail wasn't on my finger after doing that. FML
Today, I was tempted into clicking a shady link with the promise of free MP3s of De La Soul’s first four albums, with all the original samples. Long story short, I had to do a system restore on my laptop. Now it won’t play audio files for some inexplicable reason. FML
Today, I was so bored I googled the word "bored." The results were boring. FML
Today, I made my mom a mix CD for her car. It took me ages to find just the right songs that would be perfect for her. When I played it for her in the car, she took it out and threw it out of the window. FML
Today, I found an old USB drive and spent an hour trying to open it because I was sure it had important files on it. It contained one blurry photo of my thumb and a Word doc titled “Do not open", which was actually blank. FML
Today, my kids found out how to control my Google alarm clock with their phones. While I was gone, they set it to play screamo metal at max volume, then paused it. Sometime after midnight, as I was sleeping, they pressed play. FML
Today, the speakers on my laptop weren't working. I worried I'd broken something, and started freaking out. I restarted my computer numerous times and played with the settings for an hour before calling my sister in to help. She looked at it for two seconds, then unplugged my headphones. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

They're starting to make more and more laptops without CD drives now especially the macbooks. Just buy an external usb DVD drive it works the same way.

What in the world did you buy? I was unaware that they still made laptops without cd drives anymore.

They've been doing so since at least mid-last year, so it is a somewhat new thing

Whoa, they make laptops without CD/DVD drives nowadays? **** this shit, I'll build my own computer next. Speaking of building computers and DVD drives, it reminded me of my time as an IT student where a guy in my class managed to insert 6 CD drives into one computer and made them all work...

Lol the computers used to all come without a cd drive.

It's really not that big of a deal, you can still get a cheap cd/dvd port that connects via USB.

Well, USB slots are limited on laptops and I have a ton of devices to connect. I'm thankful my laptop has a CD/DVD drive even tho I don't need it much.

It's not there to look like a CD/DVD/BRD drive... It's there as a space holder for a CD/DVD/BRD drive. Some of that general model have it and some don't. So on the ones that don't they just cover that slot with a piece of plastic the same shape as the drive that would fill it if so equipped.
