Today, I was messing around on my laptop by drawing on the screen with a marker pen. When it came time to clean it off, it wouldn't budge. Now I have a full beard and mustache etched permanently on my computer screen. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw a spot on my computer screen. I tried to use my finger to rub it off. Then, I tried using my nail. Then I tried to windex it off. I continued scratching at it with my nail. A half hour and one scratched screen later, I realized the spot was part of the webpage I was looking at. FML
Today, I worked for three hours writing very neat notes with one of those pens that erase. I felt very accomplished, so decided to share it on Facebook. I brought my computer over to my lap on top of my notes. Turns out heat from laptops smudges ink from eraseable pens. I can't read my notes. FML
Today, I left the living room for 3 minutes to make a coffee. When I went back, my 4-year old had found a permanent marker, God knows where, since I don't own a permanent marker. She'd then drawn on her face, the carpet, wall, sofa, both dogs and as an added bonus the TV screen. FML
Today, I cleaned my computer screen for the first time in ages. When I turned it on a few hours later, I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out why the brightness was suddenly so painfully high. FML
Today, I was fixing some photos for a client. I spent 20 minutes trying to Photoshop an unusual black dot out of a picture. Only then did I discover it was a black dot on my computer screen. FML
Today, I was idly scratching gunk off the common computer while waiting for a meeting to start. It wasn't until the end that I realized it was dried snot. FML
Today, my 7 year old daughter decided to use my laptop without my permission. She accidentally got SpaghettiOs on the screen, then used the hard side of a sponge, filled with soapy water, to scrub both the keyboard and screen of my laptop to clean it off so Mommy wouldn't know. FML
Today, I ruined my computer screen trying to kill a fly. FML
Today, I was sitting at the computer when this really annoying fly kept landing on the keyboard. After a while, I took the bottom of a pen and squished it. Twenty minutes later I absentmindedly started chewing at the bottom of the pen. FML
Today, I woke up to the faint memory of being drunk enough to draw dicks on my own face in permanent marker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Use rubbing alcohol, it can remove permanent marker.
valalvax 13
it also deteriorates the screen, I think... pretty sure it's one of those things they say not to put on the screen

Well apparently it didn't say anything about not putting sharpies on there, cause OP still did that...

Who the **** does something that stupid?!? Please do not breed. And my advice: use axe body spray to get the ink off, only because I feel sorry for your computer.

This makes me wonder just how toxic Axe sprays really are... considering you say they'd take a stain like what's on OP's computer off.
smiles4life 1
ive always wondered why i was so attracted to guys who wear axe. now i know its because its so toxic that it covers all other gross boyish odors. clearly whoever made axe was a f***ing genius.
5t3ff1k4h 47
I personally don't like axe. It smells like a bunch of chemicals. :S Then again, that's what it is, so I guess they weren't too far off the track.

works with any aerosol spray not just that one, ones for women will have the same effect...

Ugh I agree with 66. Axe sucks, and I hate when kids use that after gym instead of deodorant, it doesn't cover the B.O. and makes it smell worse. Same with using that crap axe instead of taking a freaken shower.

Try rubbing alcohol. It always gets sharpie off of non-porous surfaces for me. :D My mom takes sharpies and doodles on her friends' name tags at work, giving them mustaches, etc., but it always washes right off. :)

precisely! We do that at school when someone uses sharpies on the whiteboards by mistake, except we use hand sanitizer, which is basically 99.9% alcohol anyway haha

Of course OP is an idiot - why would you draw on your screen? But what I'm finding funnier is the anger that has been created. People, calm down - she didn't draw on your screen.

Where does it say that she's home? Or that she's alone, for that matter? Heck, where does it say she was bored!?

agree with 45. and you're the one who is sitting at a computer with obviously nothing better to do than forget where the CAPS lock is and make mean comments on people you don't know in real life's misfortunes.

WHY would you do that? Why would you even take the chance of having it not come off your laptop screen?? Try Windex.
hackman2007 0
Windex is bad for laptop screens because of the chemicals in it. Rubbing alcohol may work, but personally I think the OP messed up their laptop. Though you can always change the LCD, rather easy to do.

Also rather expensive last I checked.

Almost cheaper to buy a new laptop than to replace the screen.

We replaced my laptop screen for $45 including delivery. But I didnt draw on it, it got cracked by my dog's ball.
Brock2607 3
hmmmm?????
hackman2007 0
No, it's not. You can get a replacement screen rather inexpensively from eBay or other sources for about $100. Then you can either change it yourself or pay $50-100 in labor to have a technician install it. It isn't that difficult.

Nail polish remover gets sharpie off mirrors & counter tops - try that!
Insideous 0
Please DONT use Nail polish. It will damage the plastic of the screen. My son drew with a sharpie permanent marker on my screen. I used a dry erase marker (has to be new) over the black marks and kept wiping away with a damp cloth.

You totally deserve it, but this poster is right. Draw over it with a dry erase marker, and you should be able to wipe it off.
