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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

just because it sounds "devilish" doesn't mean it's devil music. TDWP and Underoath are christian bands(: Although I say that whenever my parents tell me to turn the music down, they still consider it "demonic" -.- lawlz.

Pictured above we have a prime example of what is legally known as "justifiable homicide."

If the actual guitar is damaged, FLY. If it's ligit... that shit's expensive. Strings can be replaced easily though.... but your grandma's a psycho.

She did probably damage the guitar itself aswell. When you cut all of the strings off at once, the neck of the guitar will be relieved off much pressure quickly. That makes the neck bend slightly, the wood stretch (might crack) and you get a more "sour" sound from it, especially on an expensive guitar like a Gibson. That is why you shan't remove all of the strings at once when changing them.

Your last sentence makes you sound like a huge tool. Shan't stands for shall not, and since you aren't controlling them, it's only a recommendation. The word you're looking for is shouldn't because you're only advising against it. I agree with you on how it ***** up the guitar though. If anyone did that to me, I would probably start crying. Lmao.
