Today, my brother deleted all traces of the novel I've been working on for three years from my laptop. The reason? When I was born I "stole all of Mum and Dad's attention." He's 24. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after 3 years of writing a murder mystery novel that I was really proud of, my dad stole my notebook. He mistook it as my diary and turned it in to the police and apparently I can't have it back because it may be used as evidence. Some of the stories were inspired by real events. FML
Today, I woke up from a nap to find my little brother playing some games on my phone. A few hours later I come to find he had deleted all 500 pictures from my trip to Europe last month. He needed more space to download the games. Mom says he's too young to understand what he did wrong. He's 14. FML
Today, my 24-year-old, unemployed brother stole all of my food money and went out with his friends. His punishment from our parents? He has to pay me back when he gets a job. My stomach has to wait. FML
Today, my little sister got mad at me because I wouldn't let her read my IM conversation. I took a nap and when I woke up, my laptop was gone. She took it on a trip to her grandparents' house, six hours away. Nude pictures of me and my paper due tomorrow are on the laptop. FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML
Today, while having a sneak through my brother's browser, I found a bookmark for a Google Docs file. It was a short story involving him horrifically killing our entire family. It ended with the words: "And that is what happens when people don't respect the author's privacy." 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, I found out that while I was at college, my brother downloaded three terabytes of porn on my laptop and blamed it on me. My parents believed him. FML
Today, I fell asleep while using my laptop. The next thing I know, it's 8am and my dad is screaming at me for posting "u skank-ass cunt-face" on my mom's Facebook timeline. I never made that post, but he won't believe me. My asshole brother, meanwhile, can't stop smirking at me. FML
Today, my brother stole my hard drive and wiped it. My hard drive had a 10-page school project on it. The project is due tomorrow. FML

In return, put a pillow over his face because "He's sucking up all the good air. "

Delete that ****** from your life. If he hasn't got over it by now, he never will.

You totally deserve it for not backing it up in at least one other location.

Because his brother wouldn't have been able to touch proper off-site backups.

so your brother thinks you stole your mother and your father's atention? easy to fix. and a good way to teach the little ****** a moral. find out all the little things the rat bastard has been up to that mom and dad would disaporve of. smoking pot, driving drunk, ect. ... then leave clues to his asorted acts all over for mom and dad to find. suddenly your brother is not missing out on atention from mom and dad, because now he has ALL of it. the moral? becareful what you wish for. you just might get it.

Wow. It's true, the Irish really do hold a grudge forever. I thought that was just a stereotype.

"The Irish do not have so much a sense of history as a sense of grievance." J. Lee I'm Irish, and in all modesty, I must say I bear a magnificent grudge.

Dude, it's so easy to recover that stuff, just go to the control pannel, hit ctrl + F and switch the search to local hardrive C, unless he deleted it from there too, in which case that sucks, FYL.

He deleted it from the computer, so just go search on the computer for it, unless he deleted it from the computer? Are you ******* stupid?

thats pretty pathetic... you can still get your novel back though ;) try and download a program called file scavenger. it can bring back deleted data. also you can ask your i.t repair shop if they can get it back for you :) Best of luck
