Today, I got my laptop back after waiting weeks for it to be fixed. It turns out that they didn't fix it; they dusted it off, held it for a few days, and sent it back. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got my laptop back after sending it to Dell to repair water damage after a night of partying. Dell returned my computer unrepaired, saying it was unfixable. When I called to ask why they couldn't fix it, they told me it was a biohazard. Someone got drunk and pissed on my laptop. FML
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 got my laptop back after lending it to my friend. It wouldn't boot, and after investigating I found out it'd been stripped of its hard drive and all its memory. When I confronted my "friend", he accused me of lying and trying to ruin his reputation. FML
Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML
Today, I walked into pawn shop and found a nice laptop which I inspected after I thought I lost mine months ago. Turns out my ex pawned it after having it at her place all this time. FML
Today, I got home from a hard day and sent a project due tomorrow from my laptop. While I was in the bathroom, my parents took my laptop, which is all paid by me for no reason. I tried telling them multiple times that I have 3 projects due this week, but they said that's not a reason to stay on my laptop. FML
Today, Dell's tech support called to tell me that the laptop I sent to them was going to cost an extra $300 to fix, because of the shattered screen. When I mailed my laptop to them, the touchpad wasn't working. The screen was fine. FML
Today, I received my new laptop in the mail and put it on the kitchen counter, where my family charges all our electronics. My mom then decided to make soup and spilt chicken broth all over my new laptop before I even got the chance to turn it on. FML
Today, after five months of working overtime and doing my own repairs around the house, such as patching my own roof to save money, I walk into my home office. I find my $2500, week old, top of the line laptop won't turn on because it's drenched in water. Apparently there's a leak in the roof. FML
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

2- Dude, chill out, it could have been a typo.. And regarding to the FML it's how they make money,they will hold it forever do absolutely shit,make you pay just so you can bring it back and give them more money. The one where I live actually will give you money back and attempt to fix it again without you paying.
nachiketin 11
Well at least for a change we did not see 'first' as a comment.
1221jamw 11
Correction, after a quick read of her profile, it turns out she is unintelligent and/or lazy.
DoubleCross 9
Of course not. Laptop maintenance is completely free.
mikeofthunder 13
14 - Or maybe the standard form of English is dying through technology, and she is simply reflecting a universal change in the use of language.
Shrike 24
That's no excuse. Grammar Nazis are the grammatical T-cells of the internet, fighting to wipe out the disease that's called illiteracy. Respect them.
DocBastard 40
Or maybe she's just a lazy twit who can't be bothered to add the "o" in "you" properly because she still has 195 Facebook statuses to "like".
Danny0522 8
She's sort of duck facing in her profile picture. That should tell you everything you need to know.
_Oblivion_ 12
New thing nowadays. Apparently, saving the .0001 seconds of time it takes to type a letter, makes sentences easier to read. Why do I feel that some of the general population is beginning to degenerate?
pokemonchick14 12
This is why I hate commenting on anything. She might have had a typo, yet she gets down voted like no other and you start commenting on her "duck face." Seriously FML. Is it that hard just to be nice?
ManInTheMachine 20
61-Regardless of whether or not it was a typo, she didn't even make an effort to make a decent sentence, most likely in the pursuit of first comment. Also, nobody is forcing you to comment. If you can't take the excruciating 2 seconds to add a letter to a comment, then trust me, you're doing us all a favor by not commenting. This is the Internet. Although niceness would be great, it isn't to be expected, especially on FML.
DocBastard 40
pokemonchick14 - Let me ask you a question. Which would you rather do, spell out "you" and "what" or get lambasted here? Look at her profile info. She can't even be bothered to spell out "know" or "what". That "yu" wasn't a typo, it was laziness. Besides, txt jargon is forbidden in the site rules. I have a feeling you haven't read them.

No, OP didn't pay; they stole their laptop and jumped fences while doing ninja-worthy moves to sneak past the laser security and the gigantic guards holding AK-47s and machine guns. Obviously.
Calyx_fml 22
Thumbs down for the ridiculous duck face.
pokemonchick14 12
I know it's the Internet. Have you ever been on a real Internet site? Reddit? Funnyjunk? People are nice. Thanks for the condescending comment. I know what the Internet is like.
Casteels 0
I think it's funny how everyone's obsessing over grammar. If that person wants to look like an idiot, let them. Is it that hard to try and not point out each flaw someone has?...
Danny0522 8
61-you hate commenting, so you wrote a comment that explains why you hate commenting. Genius.
Danny0522 8
Ok 96 let me get this straight. Reddit and funnyjunk are real internet sites, so that makes FML an imaginary one. Makes sense. Also, you say that people are nice, yet you also say that you know the Internet... Honestly I don't even know what to say to that.
pokemonchick14 12
Congrats, you all win. I guess I deserved to get ganged up on. Your comments were all witty and sarcastic, while mine were just angry. I apologize.
Taggerrung 2
107- I believe a great place for you to fit in would be 4chan. Try there, everyones sooo nice ;)
gntfmlingnow 12
Pokemon chick, I'm not seeing much sense coming from you. Three parts, mostly, baffle me: 1) The website actually has a rule against text jargon, so there's really no room to defend it. 2) I don't exactly see how FML isn't a "real" site. 3) When the hell was reddit ever a nice place? I'm an avid redditor and I can tell you that if I make a bad comic, I get comments telling me to kill myself.
pokemonchick14 12
Try r/Zelda.. And I know what 4chan is. And I said I was sorry.. Please..
nado13579 12
Did you just have to turn it on?
R3TROxLOV3 32
107, Did you apologize? Yes. But you did it in a sardonic manner, so it ended being more offensive than heartfelt.
j0k3r91 6
that ******* sucks man
baconftw 9
That's why I take good care of my computer. A lot of places that fix computers don't do shit.
biggestfan23 11
OP should go back in the store and wreak havoc
Pentium_4 27
poor OP. i would have fixed it in one day no matter what the problem
gamercanadian 11
Most likely it's a HP Laptop, the did that to me.....twice than I switched to Toshiba
musicluvr2000 11
No shit, sherlock!
ProgMetalMan 8
#31 - It could have been damaged as a result of something out if the OP's control, like a cheap part from one of the many bad computer manufacturers we have now.
davymac718 4
That's why I can't stand customer service!
your_ma 27
You can't stand customer service? That's quite vague and abstract of you... :/
davymac718 4
In the case I think one would assume it is the customer service of the computer repair people
your_ma 27
So you can't stand shitty customer service..? Yeah one would assume most people feel the same...
Michael_92 20
I can't stand AT&T's DSL customer service!! Worst ever. Almost 2 years later and my internet is still slow and drops the line all the time; worst part is no one else to go to :(
KiddNYC1O 22
your_ma, are you okay?
ReesieBanana21 12
Did it help? :o
VooDooCarrie91 19
Pay with monopoly money!
boating_guy 33
But they don't even deserve monopoly money! or any other form or payment! those lazy bastards...
SqueakyChipmunk 22
Pay them with PAIN. no? Ok...
Three4Ten 10
At least they were kind enough to dust it off for you!
TheDrifter 24
They might even have fixed the sticky keyboard issue while they cleaned.
kitkat2014 6
Well that's Dell for ya.....
1221jamw 11
Nobody said it was Dell, but it sounds awfully like them..
kitkat2014 6
I have a Dell and my battery life SUCKS!!!!! I'm looking into getting a MacBook Pro. I love Apple products and I need something with a better battery life.
KVKdragon 26
You and me both lol. I'm getting my MacBook Pro tomorrow since my last HP laptop caught fire after 3 previous breakage incidents
Hiimhaileypotter 53
Macs are awesome. Just got a Pro for my birthday and it's so much better than my Dell already :)
swankmrpancake 8
MSI is the way to go all around fantastic!
flamegrilled123 3
Apple and MSI are the ways to go for laptops
tpuff 7
HeApple in my opinion is terrible their just for looks their overpriced and can't do shit but look cool even the iPhone I'm currently on always freezing and crashing I've sent it back several times PC all the way
KVKdragon 26
Yet my 2010 4th gen iPod Touch has outlasted my 2011 PC that caught fire *troll face* :P
laceyexile 10
Me being a photographer my MacBook pro is great, the only reason post pc users don't like the Mac is because you can game or it's to hard for others to use. Now for the IPhone mine has never crashed or anything, but I have the Verizon one cause AT&T sucks.
laceyexile 10
^cant
kitkat2014 6
109- I agree completely!!!!!! I have the Verizon iPhone (4S) too and I couldn't be happier :D
BradTheBrony 19
I'm guessing none of you guys do nothing more than blog, facebook, and look at cute cats all day. JUST A HUNCH GUYS.
kitkat2014 6
Says the guy with a my little pony as his display picture? I'm pretty sure that's your day summed up...
BradTheBrony 19
Yeah, no. I game on my computer frequently.
Rai12357 6
Lazy people these days
Nymphetamatrix 19
If you payed, demand your money back! Leave a little 25 cent tip for the dusting though.
SkoomaKi 28
If you have to do something, do it yourself. Open it up have a look or get a friend to look at it. There are plenty of site to help you buy parts too.

You speak the truth. I replaced the fan on my laptop by watching a video on YouTube. Probably saved myself around 100 bucks.

I bet it's a dell

Rolling in the deep? ... No? Okay
