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!

You can get a kickass PC for the same price as a shitty Mac. YDI for spending $3,500 on a computer just so you could brag about it and act stuck up, like all Mac owners.

Leaving the MacBook on the floor was 'extra careful' huh...

YDI for buying a Mac. Airbook, really? Piece of crap. You just look at that thing and it breaks.

Apple will cover it for up to a year even without insurance. Take it back.

Please, PCs are horrible it's not a matter of if they crash but when. Yeah he could have spent 1500 on a Vaio and stepped on it just as easily. Its not the fact that it was a Mac but he was negligent in leaving it on the floor to be stepped on.

You're completely forgetting about Linux, Windows aren't the only PCs out there. Besides, Windows only crashes for people who don't know what the hell they're doing. My OS hasn't crashed in... I wanna say months, but it might have been over a year by now. If OP spent $1500 on a VAIO and stepped on it, the screen is much less likely to break, and even if it did, would be much cheaper to replace. He'd still end up getting a computer with way better specs for less money.

PC's have gone a bit beyond Win98, in case you haven't noticed. Once upon a time they were utter bug prone crap, but they're just fine for normal use right now. It takes a real idiot to crash XP. Of course, if you want a REAL legitimate OS, go with Linux, none of this mac crap.

I've crashed XP. I updated from SP2 to SP3 with the Windows update program and I got the BSoD after restarting when it asked me to. I got a Mac and I'm never going back.

I agree with #103... & Macs are SUPERIOR to any PC. Those people who say 'Macs suck' are those who can't afford one. Try getting one and comparing it to PCs and you'll see that you will NEVER go back to a PC. If you say you will, you're obviously lying. IM RIGHT AND ANYONE ELSE WHO SAY OTHERWISE IS WRONG. Thanks.

Most Windows crashes are caused by third party software. That's beside the point though. Macs are internally IDENTICAL to other PCs. Intel processor, NVIDIA graphics card, run of the mill RAM, base speed HDD etc. I'm guessing when you had problems with Windows machines, the problem was between the chair and the keyboard.

Man, Mac snobs make me ashamed to say I have one. : I love OS X and my Macbook Pro blows my piece of crap Vaio away, but I can't stand most Mac owners and their superiority complex.

Hahaha I love this. #75 says "It takes a real idiot to crash XP." #103, WITHOUT even attempting to refute this claim, responds with "I've crashed XP." I think that tells us all we need to know.

except it's an intel processor. and my pc happens to have an AMD athlon. can you change/upgrade macs like you can PC's? can you repair them at home? oh, and to finish... Can you game on a mac without dualbooting?

"!!!!!it awsomeee pc's suck ass!!!!" This, is why I can't ever get into a decent conversation with a mac user, they all seem to have mental deficiencies. You can't spell, the last guy didn't know what "quote" means. You deserve it for getting a dell laptop. Those things are wastes of money, and regardless, you probably weren't taking care of the computer right if it was out in a year.
