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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

All you idiots who are saying "OMG it's just strings, replace them" are missing the point of this FML. It's an FML because his grandma damaged his property (although the damage was minimal) for ridiculous religious purposes, it has nothing to do with strings. Furthermore, let's say he replaces the strings. What makes you think his grandma won't do the exact same thing again? Better yet, she probably will do some serious damage after finding out that cutting the strings has no effect on the "devil music". God, this site is so full of morons.

I guess you know that it's not the strings, which you can replace, it's the grandma. If you replace the strings, she'll just do something even worse to the guitar, like snap it in half. Sorry about the crazy grandma... :(

*twitch* Luckily I can only mediocrly play 'Stairway' and Jeff Beck's version of 'A Day In The Life'. Cuz my mamaw would totally do that. Good thing she lives two hours away! And lucky, you have a Les Paul! Page, Harrison, Slash, a bunch of great guitarists play that. It has to be my favorite. That or a Epiphone Casino or a Rickenbacker (*is a Beatles nerd*)

I dont get whats up with everyone saying "******* idiot, strings cost like 5$! YDI!!!!!!!!!!' Its probley the fact that his grandmother is a nut, and will damage his property to get the message.

Eh, I'm more of a Strat fan, Explorer if I want humbuckers. Anyways, strings are 5 bucks, you probably needed an excuse to get some fresh strings anyways. Honestly, I'm surprised the headstock didn't break off since you said it was on the floor. I guess she laid it down instead of just dropping it.

No, it's not religion. It's the people who use religion to justify their wrong actions.
