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?

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.

#144 because that's called piracy and it forces the prices of the legit music up. All because of hundreds of thousands of people like you want everything for nothing. You want people to put all the time, effort and money into making the music but you won't even give them 99p per song back in return. Same with games ''lol games r 2 expensive, jst dl it 4 free'', well that's part of the reason they're so expensive. It costs money to make things, but you won't give them any, therefore you deserve none of it. Why do people not understand this cycle?

illegal downloads are made for educational purposes only. it's like try before you buy. I pirate them first, if I like them, I buy them, if not, I delete.

Well first Limewire is now illegal, and it's really unfair to the artists who worked to make the music. Plus, if you illegally download music, the governments of the country you live in that have cyber laws (like the US, Canada, the UK, EU) can prosecute you years AFTER you download the music. Don't take the chance, it's not worth it.

it's kind of sad that you spent that fast enough to not realize that it said "0.00" in the corner, YDI.
