Today, I went in my room to play my guitar. I found my Les Paul on the floor with all the strings missing. I later found out my grandma cut them off because I was playing "Devil's Music." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 had to babysit my dying grandmother, so I brought up my guitar. She hadn't said anything to anyone today, and the first thing and only thing she said was, "Stop. Make it stop" to me when I played. FML
Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. 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 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 house was broken into. How? My mom left a key under a flower pot on the porch. She also left a note on the door saying so. He stole all of my guitars. FML
Today, I accidentally left some music playing on my iPad, then left to do some errands. When I came back, I found it smashed into a million pieces. Apparently, grandpa couldn't find any other way to "shut off that goddamn music." FML
Today, I was told by my neighbors that my guitar playing sounded a dying cat. 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, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML

I don't think Grandma's familiar with the Golden Rule. I say you steal her knitting needles. That'll show her.

I can't believe I read thru all these comments and not one of you tarts said the OBVIOUS solution to this... Buy new strings, AND a LOCK for your DOOR!! Then you make it VERY clear to G-ma'ma that ******* with your stuff is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. If she's got her own bathroom, put a cpl drops of brake fluid in her glass of water for her teeth.

This is why this site needs the option of talking with the original poster directly so those of us that side with him can help him get revenge.

Well if it was a gibson les paul i feel very very sorry for you. If it was an eppiphone, I would not feel as bad because eppis are not half as nice as a gibson. Thats why i keep my Gibson SG LOCKED in its case when im not playing it. I hope your les paul is ok though. And it might be a good idea to invest in a case that has a lock on it if you dont own one already.

Be glad she only ruined the strings and didn't smash the guitar or something. Strings don't cost that much and, provided they weren't cut for that long, the guitar should be fine. Still, that was a real bitch move.

damn, this sucks so much, its pissing me off. my grandma is the same way, she spased out when she saw a starwars t-shirt saying may the force be with you, about how "only jesus is with me" and "there is no force, to the manager
