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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

You do know that your MacBook Air (and all macs) come with a one year warranty, even if you do not but apple care right (apple care just adds 2 years on after the first and you can buy that the day before the end of the first year)? All you have to do is make an appointment at your nearest apple (you can do it on the apple website) go in and show them it's broken and they will fix it. My cat knocked my macbook off my desk and they didn't even ask me what happened to it. The 'apple genius' told me that basically as long as your mac doesn't get wet it's covered under apple care... BTW Macs Rule

Man, at this point, I don't even need to say that you deserved it for buying a Mac. Nevertheless, you did deserve it for buying a Mac. BTW, Macs suck.

You deserve it for being a blind fool. What did it think it was, a stool?

Here's some help with that screen. There is a repair option called "Total Repair" or something close to that. Go to your closest Apple Store and ask them about the $330 repair option. They should send the Macbook Air off to the repair shop and you should be able to get it back in 5 to 10 days. I work for Apple. SO this should help you out. But next time, buy the AppleCare. It really does help more then you might think. Even I buy it and I work at Apple.
