Today, I was bored. Some people would've called up friends to hang out. Not me. I had the sudden urge to make an entire Excel Spreadsheet on how much I've spent on iTunes, month-by-month. I'm not sure what's worse, that I got really into it, or that I've spent nearly $800.00 on iTunes. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was so bored that I actually read the iTunes store's terms and conditions. FML
Today, I found an old USB drive in a drawer and spent the afternoon going through the files, expecting embarrassing photos from school. Instead, I found a spreadsheet I'd made at 16, listing every person I had a crush on, complete with rankings and notes. I'm now terrified someone will find my “Top 10” list. FML
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
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 found out that whenever I send my son to his room, he goes on his iPod and buys the most expensive apps he can find. So far I've been charged $600. FML
Today, my wife bought $80 worth of Glee songs on iTunes. FML
Today, I was so bored that I spent two hours researching the history of spoons. FML
Today, I bought an expensive notebook because I wanted to become the kind of person who plans everything. On the first page, I carefully wrote my goals, habits, and schedule. I haven't opened it since. It is now the most organized thing I own. FML
Today, I was so bored I began practicing an irish jig. For two hours. FML
Today, I got so bored that I ordered my DVD drawer from awesomest to non-awesomest. I need a life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

on this subject I kinda agree with both sides to some extent. I can understand the artist and others involved to be upset and want their money simply because...you have to spend money to make money. however if that's the case instead of crying and bitching about it help make the solution. work with music sites on finding a simple solution. however it boils down to either stop making one or two good songs off your entire album or stop trying to force me into buying your whole shitty album for the one or two songs I would actually be willing to pay for. I like how most of the time on iTunes you can purchase a song individually but sometimes they try to force you into the entire shit pile they call the "album". this is not fair. just like the artist has rights...so does the consumer! without us there would be NO YOU! if you songs aren't total shot I will buy them otherwise I will purchase them individually and if you try to force me to buy the entire p.o.s. album you created well than you can keep the one or two good songs you managed due the the fact that it's not worth the money and that you've now made me a severely dissatisfied potential customer that you've just lost. so you can bitch an complain that people are stealing tour music but just remember some people do actually pay for music even though it can be stolen and you need to focus on improving tour music if you want more money so that you can actually sell an entire album rather than just a couple of songs. thieves sadly will always be around whether it be in person or over the net. you have to find a way to balance it out because although you may prosecute many for it...you will NEVER get them all. solution= just make better music and you will get more $ in your pockets cuz we work just as hard for our money too

Music is for everyone, not just people with money. I prefer to listen to artists who just love playing music and could care less about the money. If I download a band's album and really like it, I'll pay $40 for concert tickets or a (slightly overpriced) hoodie because I want to show my support. If I get one and it's total shit, then lesson learned. I'll delete it and be glad I didn't waste my money on such garbage. I personally think it's criminal to make people go buy an album for one good song and 12 crappy ones. If OP wants to pay for music, then fine. Just don't complain when you realize how much money you've spent. On another note, I liked the spreadsheet thing! I hang out with people all the time and go out but sometimes I just feel like staying in and calculating ways to increase my tips at work. :P

Use Torrents and suffer the consequences after my computer crashes OR ask for iTunes gift cards for holidays...I don't know which one is more tempting.
