Today, I realised how socially inept I am, when I muttered an apology to my laptop after I noticed I hadn't plugged its charger in. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized I've lived alone for so long, I now apologize to my phone for dropping it, or even over-charging it. FML
Today, I spent an hour trying to figure out why my laptop wouldn't charge. I restarted it three times, watched two tutorials, and almost ordered a new charger until I realized that the actual charger wasn't plugged into the wall. FML
Today, I tried to fix my laptop charger by fiddling around with it using metal tweezers. Not only did I forget to unplug the cord and shocked myself, I also ended up breaking the charger completely. FML
Today, I spent 10 minutes on the phone with tech support before realizing my “broken” printer was unplugged behind the desk and had been the whole time. The agent waited in silence as I was checking, but I was too embarrassed to tell him, so I hung up the phone in shame. 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, I tried to make a move on the cute guy who sits opposite me at work. In theory, I was going to start a game of footsie with him. In practice, I screwed up and managed to yank his computer's power cable out. He lost his unsaved work. FML
Today, I stood there for 10 minutes trying to fix the toaster, until I called my brother to help me. I'd forgotten that it wasn't plugged in. He now thinks I'm a complete idiot. FML
Today, while trying to get my phone to charge, I shoved in the cable harder and harder and tried to wobble it so my phone would charge. After snapping the USB input from the force, I saw the plug was switched off. FML
Today, my laptop plug got stuck in the wall outlet. I stood there for 10 minutes violently trying to yank it out. My boss came in and screamed at me for making noise. I was angry, so I glared at him and yanked on the plug as hard as I could. It dislodged itself noiselessly and I fell over. FML
Today, I was driving home from a long day at work fixing people's electronics. When I got home, I got a call from work saying I needed to go back and help a customer with their TV again. When I got there, after an hour of driving, I realized I'd accidentally kicked the power cord out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you talk to neither living nor non living things, THEN your crazy

Since talking to inanimate objects is like talking to yourself, you are not crazy unless you talk back to yourself... Or the inanimate object talks back to you. Well that's what my shrink said.

But crazy people are so much better than sane people

A computer is many things. Comedian. Teacher. Co-worker. Partner in crime. Girlfriend. Don't let a lonely laptop go uncharged. For only pennies a day, you can figuratively adopt a laptop. Just send the money directly to me.

Maybe you're just unnecessarily polite...?
SecretMe00 5
True. Although I've said sorry to my car for stopping too sudden and I'm not overly polite. I think you just start to care for the things that make your life easier.

You do know that friend won't last for long huh... In 3-4 years you will have to change it..

Don't worry, I once said I'm sorry to a pole when I ran into it... but I was in a deep conversation with my friends and thought it was a person until I looked back...

So what you're saying is your laptop is hot? Yeah, you are a little bizarre.

Thank you ^_^ And actually no, I meant my laptop has a neck brace and a motherboard with titanium implants

The laptop could've died or possibly did die due to your unacceptable negligence. You're going to have to do a lot to make up for that one. Next thing, you'll be going on the Internet and clearing all of the cookies.
geko911 22
Because all the cookies are bad! FYI cookies can make your life much easier..
Troll_spray 6
Seeing these comments made me want some cookies.
iAmScrubs 19
If I could, I'd make a batch for everyone.

Plz do =D
MrSassypants 34
Well then if he has to make up for not plugging the charger into the laptop then I guess I am buying me and my iPod a romantic cruise for two for cracking its screen.

will there be milk for these cookies?

You either meant "Socially Awkward Penguin" the meme or "Awkward Turtle" the hand gesture. Either way, it was a completely stupid comment.

Penguin? I thought it was turtle???

Or maybe it is & it's giving OP the silent treatment.
