Today, I received a $50 iTunes card for my birthday. I immediately sat down at my computer and starting buying all my newest favorites. Then I realized I never redeemed my card so the $50 was all charged to my account. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. I asked everyone for iTunes money, pleased to finally be able to buy some new songs for my iPod. After receiving several gift cards, I discovered that my iPod had been stolen. FML
Today, I saw some random iTunes charge on my bank account so I called who I thought was iTunes customer support to figure out the $5 charge, then got scammed into buying $1,400 worth of gift cards. The man on the phone was not with iTunes and took all my money. FML
Today, I bought an iTunes giftcard worth $50. I tried to scratch off the little silver thing covering the code with a pair of scissors. I scratched so much that it's now unreadable. FML
Today, I found out the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML
Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML
Today, I found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my family. As part of my presents, my parents gave me prepaid debit card. When I got home, I looked at it again and realized it's the debit card you get from selling back books to our university bookstore. I bought my own books this year. They gave me my own refund. FML
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML
Today, I found out my bank charged me $50 for not having any money. Way to go bank, way to go. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Then activate the card.

Easy fix, sell the card for what it's worth, then use that money to pay off the account charges. You lose no money, and the card was made useful.

FAIL Why waste money on apps that will probably disappoint you when you can jailbreak and get them for free?

sell the card and use the money to pay for it

jailbreaking isn't worth it. it makes your iPod/iPhone a lot slower
wmsdubstep 6
Mine is jailbroken and isn't any slower than before?

jailbreaking is retarded, its like putting a virus on ur device eventually it will **** it up, not worth the hundreds of dollars to replace it completely down the road
wmsdubstep 6
Wow. People these days don't know what they are talking about.
clarkie007 0
your right you should really do some research kiddo
wmsdubstep 6
you're*
wmsdubstep 6
And if it fins up, you hold home and power button at same time, do a back up then restore. Is it really that hard?
clarkie007 0
haha wow you must be so proud of your ignorant comments
wmsdubstep 6
Type in correct English with grammar please, your grammar is annoying me.
wmsdubstep 6
That's why you don't install stuff on 3G ;).

Explain how I've had an iPod touch for 3 years and an iPhone for a year and I've even jailbroken every time there is a firmware update and yet I have never had any problems.
wmsdubstep 6
Same, jailbreaking doesn't harm them unless you don't use it correctly. like downloading OpenSSH and leaving the password as "alpine".

52, your a moron and I have poor grammar? glad we have that straighten out, now get a life and a brain, your beyond pathetic
wmsdubstep 6
you're, get it ******* right. School was made for a reason.
clarkie007 0
your,your,your,your lol it's the Internet I have ever right to have poor grammar, you have some mistakes yourself and bitch to everyone else haha you poor poor pathetic person you
wmsdubstep 6
I do have a life anyways. I hang out with friends for 11 hours a day unlike you who rots on your computer all day.
wmsdubstep 6
I'm on my iPhone with auto-correct on.

If you can't afford a .99 cent app, there's no reason why you should own a $250 iPhone/iPod touch. Your excuse is probably well jailbreaking is legal and I want the themes but we both know you're stealing apps like other cheap bastards.
wmsdubstep 6
I use mine for tweaks, don't crack apps I pay for them. And jailbreaking is still illegal in my country but they don't do nothing about if.

63, the fact that you are on the internet claiming you have friends makes it even worse haha just stop trying
wmsdubstep 6
Yeah sure believe it or not, like I give a ****. I'm going sleep kbye
Drigr 9
OP didn't say a damn thing about apps so I think it's funny that everyone is fighting over app stuff. maybe the OP legally purchased music on iTunes cause they support the bands that they like.

70, aw don't go, who will I laugh at?
wmsdubstep 6
your ugly face.
Plasmaxyz 5
76 How can you laugh at him? He obviously knows what he is talking about, as do I. So you saying that jailbreaking screws up your iPhone is completely false since I've had a jailbroken device for 4 years. Just keep believing your lies.
wmsdubstep 6
I know yeah. I'm actually laughing at him thinking he knows what he's talking about. I bet he hasn't even owned an iPod or anything, just read reviews of someone who jailbroke their first device.
clarkie007 0
so many trolls, shame that they just keep talking hahaha cracks me up, and just so you know I'm not a guy hahaha that fact you just assumed that based on nothing just proves my point.

I thought that but then I realised that op would just be losing a total of $100 getting more stuff when he could sell the $50 card and it would be like nothing even happened!
Gorillaz23 9
That's actually a good idea :)

who cares. redeem it and credit your account.
SeedlessMe 13
So, you want OP to redeem the card and credit their bank or credit card account? If you don't have an itunes balance, it charges a real account. I don't think Visa would take an itunes card for payment... But nice try?

Sell the iTunes card? 49.99?

good idea and good advice ^
RebekahBrooke 9
well, pay it off, and then have your friend pay you 50 bucks for the card! that way, you have the music and then you have money back to pay it off.
wmsdubstep 6
Well atleast you got to spend $100.
wmsdubstep 6
You're lucky anyways. I've done that on XBOX and forgot to redeem my 1 year card and because my dad's Credit Card had no money on it, I got charged £95.
wmsdubstep 6
Why would you thumbs down it you ******* retard?

it's not a great debate, the fact is toilet paper belongs in position B, or else it's a huge pain to get.
valalvax 13
I agree, people who put it under piss me off
kings1fan 6
To me that's not a debate because I thought everyone has it positioned at choice B! By the way this my first comment haha I've been trying to comment for a while and I finally verified my account!
RetardedBullFrog 4
It's the great debate because it's a personal preference. For me, I prefer position A because its easier to pull the precise cut I want. There's no right or wrong in positioning your toilet paper.
