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!

YDI b/c you didn't buy insurance. The MacBook air is a very fragile computer.

One month? That's generous. Give it time, Dell's usually give out within 6 months or so. ;]

YDI for putting a Mac on the floor. Use common sense next time.

lol u guys are so stupid! first of all the most expensive macbook air that u can get is 1799...u totally did get ripped off if u paid 3500 for it! someone took u good dude. and as far as mac vs PC goes...funny how people go back and forth about that, i am a mac guy myself but some people think it is there job to prove that PC's are the best thing on earth and that it is the cure to the worlds issues. and i would totally rather use the mac OS any day before the windows one, just flaky and full of problems! hows that vista going for u?? need 2GB of ram just to get it up and running, and for every 3 pc's u go through, i will still be on my first mac while u keep buying your pc's. ya i could agree that the macbook air is a little over priced for sure, but def not $3500 to buy one

Vista needs 1 gig of ram to run. If you're going to make fun of someone (btw... who are you talking to?) based on their OS, at least get your facts straight...

"...some people think it is there job to prove that PC's are the best thing on earth and that it is the cure to the worlds issues." Like Mac does (and their owners) Right? Right. You can't point fingers because everyone who uses a computer says the one they use is better. And to add on to RustyGuy (though kudos for correcting the smartass),Microsoft's website says: "Windows Vista can run on a PC with 512 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM), but it runs better with 1 gigabyte (GB)." SO BAM! (http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/83ec0ffe-ee04-4d53-8b87-25d1f05c954e1033.mspx) 2 gb are for people who do like a bajillion things at once. So once again, don't go pointing fingers, because Mac has problems, and so does PC. End of story.

ya it says 1gig will run it better than 512 for sure, but it still runs slow with just 1 gig, you need at least 2 to have it not run slow because u will also need your virus software running in the backround all the time which also takes up RAM. So with your computer just sitting there doing nothing you need 1gig of RAM to do the OS and probably another 512Megs to run the virus protection...and this is without you even doing anything else

great way to choose your friends, #128 "Hey we hate the same company! I've never met you, but you're my best friend" sad, oh so sad

the most expensive macbook air is $1799, so yes YDI because you're an idiot for somehow managing to overpay by $1701.
