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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 woke up to find that my cat had barfed all over my laptop's keyboard and screen, filling each nook and cranny of the stuff. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I went to make coffee to deal with the stress, I found that I was out of coffee. FML
Today, my coworker spilled sticky fruit glaze all over my cake display cake and left it overnight uncleaned. The same display case I spent 2 hours cleaning the day before. FML
Today, I was setting up my keyboard when the stand came loose. The keyboard started to fall, so I tried to save it, held it up in the air, and ended up falling off the stool onto the floor. I’ll feel that tomorrow, but at least the keyboard survived. FML
Today, I found out that you can ruin a $500 computer with a few stray drops of 100% acetone nail polish remover on the keyboard. FML
Today, while working on my laptop, I accidentally spilled a glass of water. I quickly moved my laptop out of the way of the oncoming stream. It fell on the floor and broke. FML
Today, I tried to clean my keyboard by turning it upside down and shaking it. Something important apparently fell out, because now the “E” key only works if I smack it hard enough to look like I’m typing angry emails. My coworkers are concerned. 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 sat down at my computer for the first time in a week, and discovered that my cat had thrown up all over my keyboard. I needed to write up an important document but the chunks were stuck down in the keys, effectively locking it up and making it useless. FML
Today, I baked a cake. After feeding it to my entire family, I opened the stove, planning to temporarily store the cake inside. I then noticed a mouse, burnt to a crisp. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I've heard of Sticky Keys, but this one takes the cake.

In the same way that maggots were once used to eat away dead skin but leave living skin intact, ants could be used to eat away the frosting, leaving a squeaky-clean laptop behind!

I would not recommend this… to anyone.

it would conveniently replace the cake issue with a bug issue. which can be solved with a simple bug fix. it is genius.

they still use sterile maggots in hospitals if the situation calls for it. like festering wounds and flesh eating diseases

And now I'm going to barf with that image in my head. Thank you 31.

They usually use leaches, not maggots.

They use maggots too not just leeches

Leeches are used for other purposes. Leeches do not eat flesh, living or rotten.
GhostFox 34
Leeches are used to restore blood flow to blocked veins, prevent clotting of small veins like those found in the ears, and to assist in stopping limb engorgment. Maggots are used to clear away necrotic tissue as the used breed consumes only dead flesh, allowing them to eat away the dead flesh while leaving the living tissue that may remain in the are untouched. Luckily, since the tissue is dead, the patient can't feel what the maggots are doing. I believe they are sometimes used in attempts to to save infected limbs, as the penultimate treatment, with amputation being the last choice.

Maybe #17 provided us with some unintentional insight into their typical keyboard issues…

I think he might be referring to an old FML.

Perhaps, #70. The closest I could find was: "Today, I borrowed my 23-year-old son's laptop. The sticky keyboard gave me a good idea of his browsing history. FML"

Use that canned air stuff

Push a key between the keys to flip them out

you can usually remove the keys from the keyboard. If not there are replacement keyboards.

New laptop for Xmas?

The cake is a lie.

Pop the keys off?
False_Stupidity 42
Should be able to pop the keys off carefully and clean underneath. And thus folks is why you can't have your cake and eat it too. It inevitably meets its demise inside a laptop or some other way.
