Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML
Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML
Today, I was lying on the sofa when the phone rang. I jumped up to answer in time. I knocked over my laptop, and kicked my guitar into a glass causing it to smash. It was a wrong number. FML
Today, I finally had enough to buy my dream guitar, made in 1965. I buckled it into the passenger seat because it unfortunately didn't come with the original case. Once home, I tripped over my own feet before reaching my front door and scratched it on the concrete. It wasn't in mint condition when I bought it, but now it looks like it had a bad relic job. FML
Today, I dropped my 6-month-old $3,500 guitar. Luckily, it had a one year warranty from the store so I drove back. It was shut down. FML
Today, while tuning my bass guitar, I noticed a very strange screeching sound. I leaned over to look behind the neck. The biggest string snapped off and cut the side of my face. FML
Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML
Today, my girlfriend and her mother bought a hanger for my $2000 guitar as a birthday present. They wanted to surprise me by hanging it on the wall. They screwed it upside down, so before I came home it fell off and my guitar broke. FML
Today, I forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML
Today, I got punched in the face, had hair ripped out of my skull and broke a tooth on the pavement when I fell. Some guy mistook me for someone else. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you dont have to buy the guitars. they should have cameras to show u did nothing wrong, and so its not ur job to find the asshole....unless ur a cop lol. i was at a pawn shop looking at guitars. i picked up a really nice one i wanted, and it broke when i tried to tune it. the owner wanted me to pay for it cuz 'i' broke it. i told him to call the cops on me or im leaving. sort of related, but the point is that its not your problem.

when u brake someones stuff u have to man up and pay sometimes. it may suck but keep you're head up and karma will be good to u

So what you're say is.... since im a pretty big guy, i could just pick someone up and toss them into a pile of merchandise, destroying it all....and its not my fault? The guy i threw is responsible since he technically was the one that physically destroyed the products?

I would have either bioooked it or explained the situation to a manager.... or perhaps this is some sort of scam to help their business

I know. I can't stand people going around and hugging random people, especially if I'm the target. I would have probably ripped the person's head off if it was me. P.S. You all just lost the game.

FYL, unless they have security cameras and you can prove it wasn't your fault....

England has gone totally 1984 with surveillance cameras. Certainly, the douchebag who knocked you into the guitars will certainly be caught.

im sure they have cameras, if they dont ydi :)

How is it a YDI if they didn't have cameras? When you go into a place, do you first yell, "HEI, DO YOU GUYS HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS? SORRY, I JUST DON'T WANT SOME STUPIDFUCK JUMPING ON MY BACK AND MAKING ME DESTROY YOUR MERCHANDISE. OH, YOU DON'T? OKAY, THEN, BYE." I sincerely hope you don't do that.

Looks like you don't understand what sarcasm is either.

hahahahaha. no you don't owe that store anything lol

Agreed. I wouldn't pay that shit. Stores have insurance for a reason.
turkishjew 0
I don't know about that. rules are rules and sucky or not he has to be a man and pay. It does suck that that guy made him do it but someone has to pay or eventually the shop would be losing a lot of money and close. if I were him I'd pay, find the guy and use the guitar peices to beat the living shit out him him. money well spent

Idk how anyone can say ydi. the other person should have to pay for jumping on you.
emer_helena 0
Aw thats horrible FYL. And to the people saying to look at the security footage, how are they going to find the guy who did it to make him pay? And the shop wont pay to get them fixed so...
starberries 0
It doesn't matter to the OP whether they find the person responsible or not. It is simply not OP's fault. Sucks for the shop, but they can't make him pay just because someone attacked him.
YoungTechnique 0
**** that! You should make that guy pay!

I would have ran out with him. That's a lot of money to waste because some asshole scared you
