Today, I lent a pair of expensive headphones to a "friend" for the weekend. As a thank-you, he bought me a soda. He moved this weekend, taking the headphones with him. I lost a $250 pair of headphones for a $1 soda. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my mother threw away my brand new headphones. She saw them on the couch with duct tape on the wires and assumed they were "old, broken, and cheap." I put the tape there to avoid damaging the wires. FML
Today, I bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML
Today, I gave my friend a $5 VR set that I purchased from the dollar store for Christmas. I received a $60 gift card. Later, I realized I left the receipt in the package. FML
Today, I found out that just because my roommate doesn't buy alcohol, it doesn't mean she isn't stealing mine and slowly replacing it with water. That bottle cost me $150 and was destined to be a present for my best friend, whom I haven't seen in years. FML
Today, I listened as my ridiculously wealthy friend excitedly rambled on and on about her latest shopping trip. This is the same friend who owes me £150, and accused me of being insensitive for asking her to repay it at some point. FML
Today, out of the goodness of my heart, I went to work to help out a co-worker even though my last day was last week. I parked in a garage a block away for 2 hours. I paid $20 to park, didn't get paid, am spending $400 to get my back window replaced, and I have to buy a new iPod. FML
Today, a woman came up to me at a restaurant and asked if her autistic son could borrow my headphones. I agreed, but when they were leaving and I asked for them back, she accused me of trying to steal MY headphones that she BORROWED from me. If not for other people backing me up, I would have lost them. FML
Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She picked up a hundred dollars on the floor that somebody dropped. I told her, "I feel sorry for the retard who dropped the money." When I got home, I checked my purse and realized that I was missing a hundred dollars. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And that's why I never lend anything worth more than $20. Even then, I'd have to consider how well I know the person. I once let a friend-by-association borrow a fairly new book and she returned it with the cover ripped off and the whole book looking beaten up.

I figure it's safe to lend something worth twenty bucks or less or that amount of cash to pretty much anyone I associate with on a regular basis. If they pull a douchemove like this, it's worth twenty bucks to get them out of my life. And to show me their character.

That's not a real friend.

Years and years ago a "friend" borrowed my SNES and gave me their NES to hold on to. They then proceeded to do the same thing and move, with my SNES. However I feel like I got the better deal now, NES > SNES games.

What type of headphones were they? Were they Beats by Dre?

This is why I don't have friends. Period.

My parents always remind me to never let anyone borrow my expensive stuff, or else I'll get shitty excuses and never see it again.

You should really hurry on getting them back because I wouldn't be surprised if this friend tries to sell them.

This is why I just buy cheap headphones. If they break or get lost (I've never had to loan or worry about theft), it's no big thing to buy another pair. My USB headset on the other hand...

All I can think of is that he's a terrible friend, or he meant to ship them back to you because he wanted to use them for the long move?
