Today, I stepped on the MacBook Air I purchased 4 days ago. The screen snapped in two, and I didn't buy insurance because I promised myself I would be "extra careful." $3500 well spent. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
Today, it seemed like a great day. Right up until the point to where I accidentally damaged a friend's MacBook Pro. Not only do I have to pay for it, but the only way I'll be able to afford it is by returning every single Christmas gift I get. FML
Today, while mopping the kitchen, I ended up slipping and and knocked over the table that had my mom’s iPad on it. The screen shattered; I sprained my wrist. I asked my mom to take me to the ER. She called me "selfish" because her iPad screen repair would "cost more." FML
Today, I was feeling pretty proud of myself for building an Ikea shelf/dresser combo completely by myself. When going to put the last drawer together, I dropped one of the boards. The corner landed perfectly in the middle of my phone screen, shattering it. It's going to cost $230 to fix it. FML
Today, right after I finished writing a very important paper and saved it to my hard drive, my barely 2-year-old Macbook decided to completely stop functioning. I went to the Apple store and even they can't get it to turn on. That's $1500 down the drain along with my grade. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML
Today, I got a new laptop for Christmas. The picture on the box showed a woman balancing it on one finger to show how light it was, so I tried it myself. I dropped my laptop, breaking the hard drive and putting a massive crack down the screen. FML
Today, I shattered my iPhone screen. Pieces of glass are chipping out and can easily slice up any idiot who slides their finger across the screen. Unfortunately, I was that idiot. There's blood in the cracks of my screen. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How can you step on your macbook if you are "extra carefull"??? Putting it on the floor, or maybe you did dance on the table?, isn't carefull at all!

A quick tip: Send it to the company. Most computers have a 1 year gurantee from the company plus the additional one from the store but that one is optional. All you have to do is pay S/H. If you don't want your money to go to waste you might want to call customer service and ask about it. Goodluck and FYL.

YDI for sure for buying a piece of shit mac (coming from a graphic artist, so don't get uppity with me) and it wouldn't matter if you bought the insurance bc mac doesn't cover their screens on anything. just another reason they suck.

YDI for buying an overpriced, overhyped mac.

YDI for obviously not caring about it as much as you thought you do, especially if you were going to spend $3500 on it.

you can get it repaired once you have the money. it might be like $800 for a new screen plus time. accidental damage isn't ever covered under warrentys. but you can always pay for it to be fixed. I work at an apple repair place. make sure the people fixing your computer are apple certified or they will void the warrently on non-accident repair. (Like the logic board dies or something) good luck.

way to be extra careful, oh and btw YDI for buying a $3500 mac that can't do anything more than an average $500 PC

You really think so? An average Dell Mini ($500) is shit for gaming compared to a MacBook pro I'm not saying anything else

The Pro and the Air are different. The Air can barely even run Flash games. Actually, there are some out there that it probably can't.

One of the significant problems with Macs are that you can't buy individual parts & personalise. Once one part dies the whole thing is screwed & you either have to pay for a repair or buy a new one. With a PC you can replace whatever parts need replacing and keep the rest of it, and you get what you pay for: if you buy an el-cheapo hard drive, chances are it won't last long. If you pay a bit more for it (still won't be paying 3/4 the price of the Mac equivalent) it will be fine. Btw... I have a friend whose Mac (less than 4 years old) died on her, meaning she could not retrieve ANYTHING off it. (Plus she'd forgotten to back up, but that's her fault). I've never had a PC hard drive die that badly.

Hard drives are hard drives. You can replace your Macbook hard drive with a SATA hard drive that you can buy online. You just research good hard drives, read reviews, and find one with a good warranty. As for the laptop "dying", wtf does that mean? Did the hard drive shit the bed? If so, go to buy.com or newegg.com and get a new one. Take the OS install CD, and install. Computer works again! Sure you lost all your data, but it's your fault if you didn't back it up.

do i even have to say YDI x 10^9999 for buying an overpriced piece of shit

Op is a bit of a moron for stepping on it but to all the ppl saying macs are pieces of crap that cost 10 times they're actual worth? Yeah ok you can get a better pc for the same money but that means you have to put up with shitty windows vista these days... Honestly i would rather have windows 95 than vista! and if i had the money i'd be more than ready to pay a bit of a premium to have mac os rather than vista.... but I'd buy a macbook anyways... the air is pure gimmick
