Today, my 20-year-old son's external hard-drive stopped working. He's crying on my shoulder now, not because of the movies, porn, work, or music he probably lost, but because of the now irretrievable complete series of Digimon that he'd collected. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son stuck coins in our DVD player. It would be cute if he wasn't 25. FML
Today, I found my son's porn. I would sit him down for a talk, but the genres were so disturbing that I'm afraid to even ask about it. FML
Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
Today, I got a new computer because my old one crashed, deleting all music, photos, and documents. I still had all my music on my iPod though, and went to sync it to the new computer. By accident, my younger brother pulled the cord out before it was done, deleting all 3,000 songs forever. FML
Today, I lost two terabytes' worth of photos to a friend's incompetence. He said he could save me some money and fix my slow computer for free. He ended up wiping the hard drive, and along with it, my photography portfolio from the last five years. FML
Today, my junkie son came to the house showered, in clean clothes, with sobriety chips from NA, full of apologies, and we had a good cry about his recovery. I went to the kitchen for tissues, for less than a minute, but when I got back he’d stolen my purse, television, and spare change jar with about £75 in it. FML
Today, my external hard drive broke. My husband tried to fix it, and the computer told him he needed to format it. Apparently he didn't know what formatting does, so he did it. I'm a wedding photographer and had a full summer of unfinished wedding photography on there. FML
Today, I finally finished typing up a story I had been working on for about 7 months, saved it on my computer and left to hang with friends. Came home later to find my dad had sold my laptop in order to pay his phone bill. My hard work is now gone. FML
Today, my husband accidentally erased some pictures from our hard drive. No worries, nothing major: just everything from our wedding and the birth of our first child. FML
Today, I woke up to find out that my phone, which contained all of my pictures and videos from the past year, had completely crashed. Despite trying everything, I couldn't recover any of the data, even from the cloud backup. All those memories, gone forever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He lost his childhood :( Digimon>Pokemon in terms of storyline, character development and learning how to lock their doors.

Quite truthfully, I think the only reason Digimon is succeeding, is because they're learning from Pokémon's mistakes, especially with the cartoons. Digimon cartoon artwork, plot, and morals are really detailed, and the characters...... Let's just put it this way: Pokemon- hey everyone, meet _______! (S)he has ____ pokemon! (introduction over) Digimon- This is _______! Her Digimon are ________. She comes from __________. Her favorite things are ________, etc, etc.(you learn more and more about the characters). And that, is my non-biased opinion. Because quite truthfully, I also like Pokémon better :P

Wow that was a bit awkward for everyone. You are obviously super cool to have given this so much thought..

It doesn't take much thought or effort to come to that conclusion and write it down. Please go be rude somewhere else.

Then why doesn't it still air in America, Digimon didn't have the staying power pokemon did.

I'm sure you can find it on the Internet somewhere. You can find anything there. Even exotic pets to eat.
Mischief109 11
... Do I even want to ask how you know the exotic pet tidbit?

Because one day he was hungry and thought "Do you know what I can go for right now? A good ol' hedgehog. Delicious"

Well do you even know what digimon is? Cause if you did, you'd be crying too. Plus, all that **** he probably lost kinda sucks too.

Pardon my ignorance; I've no ******* clue what "digimon" is. My kids grew up with mutant ninja turtles, ghostbusters, & MTV when it showed music videos.

He was lying it is definitely ****
whitekid1497 7
It would probably be easier for a 20 year old to explain losing **** on a hard drive than losing his entire collection of digimon

#101- This coming from the person who has a very obviously sexualized cartoon fairy as their profile picture? Judge not, lest ye be judged, ahhh?

Mom we are not talking about poke balls, trainers or pokemons. We are talking about digivices, "the chosen kids" and taking dinosaurs xP

Never got into digimon. Theme song always seemed to sound so over the top.

Yeah the new pokes really are terrible... except Accelgor. He's badass. But yeah, even the games have started to become very same-ish... MMORPG would be nice. And hacks are better than the real games most of the time.

Wow really? o.0 I thought it was awesome I liked it better than Pokemon -.-

Hell, I'd be crying too if I lost my whole Digimon series.
