Today, I got a surround sound system from my best friend. I didn't even have it hooked up when the sub woofer fell to the floor and smashed. I don't know if it can be fixed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally got my laptop back after my friend broke it a few weeks ago. As I walked back into our place with my laptop in my bag, the same friend burst out and tackled me. My bag fell and slammed into the floor. Guess who has to pay for another repair. FML
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, I fell asleep while watching an action movie. My newly installed surround sound system scared me so bad that I fell off the couch and smashed my face on our coffee table. FML
Today, I bought a pair of new speakers for my comp. I forgot I had installed various volume enhancing programs and also maxed out all sound settings. I connected the new speakers and played some music. The sound destroyed them. FML
Today, my roommate placed something on a shelf I put up, and the whole thing came crashing down. It's been fine for 2 years and now the shelf decides to break? Yeah right, dude. FML
Today, I was woken up by my TV falling down. Good news: It still works. Bad news: I don't know how it happened, so I'm worried it could happen again at any time and potentially break for real. FML
Today, my "best friend" stole almost $1,000 worth of electronics and video games from my roommates and me, just so he could pawn them off and buy himself a new car stereo. 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
Today, my boyfriend got frustrated trying to take my entertainment center into the basement for the kids' game room. It didn't fit, thanks to the horrible design of the house, so he Spartan-kicked it down, breaking it into 15 pieces. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh, anything can be fixed ... if you're willing to spend enough money. ;-) But yea, breaking things suck. :-(

Why wasn't the sub on the floor? Subs put out lots of vibrations. The best place for one is on the floor.

Should have been a bit more careful... that's how accidents happen.

Oh, everything can be fixed, for a price. When you see what it's going to cost, the woofer will make you howl and yelp! Or you could install the system as-is and stick it to Meghan Trainor and be "All about da treble -- no bass!" Screw her for body-shaming fit girls!

Because the dom hadn’t told it to be on the floor.

Where I come from if your best friend is buying you something that expensive - your best friend is trying to bang you. Just a heads up in case there's a comrade in the friend's zone that needs rescuing.

Is it just the box that's smashed? Or is it the speaker itself? Because a new box is easy to build.

OP here... The sub is fine. It is now sitting where I can reach it, on non-skid material. Thanks to hot glue, everything is fine, minus some cosmetic damage. And no, my best friend isn't trying to bang me, and it's rude to jump to conclusions. Said friend got an equally expensive gift from me. We knew about our gifts to each other in advance. Christmas gifts. That's all.

I hope you're not in an apartment building with a sub woofer. That is so awful.

No...i live in a single family home. By myself. I'm not an inconsiderate moron. I once lived in an apartment. I know what it's like.
