Today, my friend spilt orange juice all over my iPad. She then went ahead to clean it off by rinsing it with water. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 7 year old daughter decided to use my laptop without my permission. She accidentally got SpaghettiOs on the screen, then used the hard side of a sponge, filled with soapy water, to scrub both the keyboard and screen of my laptop to clean it off so Mommy wouldn't know. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and drink a tall glass of water whilst doing my assignment that is due in three days. I managed to spill the entire glass over my laptop. I flipped it over and used a hairdryer to dry it off. While doing that, I managed to melt my keyboard. FML
Today, while working on my laptop, I accidentally spilled a glass of water. I quickly moved my laptop out of the way of the oncoming stream. It fell on the floor and broke. FML
Today, I spilled some milk on my laptop. I was pretty sure it would be fine as it was only a bit of milk. While cleaning the residue, I knocked a whole bucket of water into the insides of the laptop. RIP Macbook. FML
Today, I spent hours cleaning the kitchen that my slob roommates always neglect. I scrubbed the floor, emptied the fridge, washed all the dishes, etc. When I was done, I was thirsty so I got myself a soda. I opened the can, and it exploded and sprayed everything I had just washed. FML
Today, I was trying to be environmentally friendly by using a reusable water bottle, but didn't screw the top on properly, so while I was chatting to someone it splashed it all over my computer and bricked it. FML
Today, my youngest decided my phone needed a bath in the toilet. FML
Today, I accidentally spilled a big glass of water on the table, where I had some papers, my cellphone, and a box of donuts. With lightning reflexes, my sister heroically jumped forward and saved the donuts. FML
Today, while mopping the kitchen, I ended up slipping and and knocked over the table that had my mom’s iPad on it. The screen shattered; I sprained my wrist. I asked my mom to take me to the ER. She called me "selfish" because her iPad screen repair would "cost more." FML
Today, my dad borrowed my new iPad to amuse him while he was in the shower without my knowledge. The iPad is now completely ruined, and my dad is refusing to buy me a new one. He says, "How was I to know that it wasn't waterproof?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

why wouldn't you stop your friend?

Does your friend know what electronics are? Cause that's a very stupid thing to do. Surround it in rice I heard to do that with phones when they get wet. Otherwise, make her pay for a new one.

Somehow, I don't get the feeling OP knew what the friend was doing.
DalPozzo13 10
Since when was spilt a word? Last time I checked it was spelled "spilled"
evanjelion00 2
You are the dumb one, since you don't even know how to google "spilt" and realize it is one of the two past tense options of "to spill".
Eelam_star 2
OP was probably shocked by the stupidness because I know I would have been in shock
evilplatypus 39
It's also possible OP wasn't there at the moment.
starburst7596 14
74- the word you are looking for is "stupidity"

Who is your friend? Patrick Star!

OP probably wasn't in the same room with her. She could have walked in on her rinsing it off.

Maybe he didnt know that apple products are resistant to water. Not sure about the iPad, but the iPod touch is.
mooonlight778 7
Is she dumb?
white16sox 19
No, she's the next Einstein.
ICastillo 25
Yeah she is dumb, she forgot to throw it in the microwave to dry it.
PrimeEvilTahir 24
Of course she is. Everybody knows apples and oranges don't mix! Duh!
doctorhook86 25
87: Very clever!
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Oh but they do mix! OJ & AJ mixed is sublime!!!

What's next the washing machine? Or even the dishwasher?
vcapelo 19
Actually the sugar in the juice is the real killer, and most electronics can survive more water than you can imagine, especially if it's turned off. What should be done is to turn the IPad off, then slightly rinse it with water, and then put it in a bag with rice, to absorb the water again. My cousin dropped her IPhone in the river at night, went back in the morning to find it again, fished it up, dried it, and now it's fully functioning again.

She's obviously blond once u think about it haha

She waited until morning!? She's lucky that it wasn't completely fried by then!

Well that sounds like an excellent friend. No choice but to retaliate.
ukrainianitalian 2
That's very unpleasant of your so called "friend" to do that. Unless your "friend" was under 4 years old (which I highly doubt) don't be angry. But I am going to predict that your "friend" is quite ditsy and immature for his/her age.

Revenge!!!!!

If op has warranty have warranty replace but don't tell said friend and make her pay for a new one. From there op can sell one or keep the other as a back up.
spekledworf 18
Unfortunately, a majority of warrenties don't cover water damage
mikeymayhem_87 15
Probably doesn't cover orange juice damage either
lilhellian 27
Last time I got water in my phone I simply broke the screen and claimed it fell and wouldn't turn on.
YouSoClear 6
In iPhones and probably iPads too, they have something inside them that can tell if water has touched it. It changes colour or something , and when they check it ( incase it was covered by warranty ) they would see that and the warranty would be void.
pradip 26
If the orange juice had seeped through to the display, then keeping it in rice will work but may leave bright stains on the screen. Lightly rinsing with water and then placing it in rice helps remove orange juice.
LaLince 40
lol
lilhellian 27
32 Will they openthe device then and there? If not Op has a chance. There are many ways to get by companies like that. Many I and most people won't easily say.
YouSoClear 6
40 - If it was apple, probably, but if it was from some shifty re saler, probably not haha.
lilhellian 27
Open the* many ways* Sorry about that.
pradip 26
40, they don't need to open the device, there are small white stickers which turn red on contact with water. iPhone has one inside the headphone jack and one at the 30 pin adapter. now all iPhone users are checking for it i guess :)
pradip 26
30 why would you take iPhone with you for a shower.
lilhellian 27
O damn learn something new everyday. I'm so checking my friends ipad tomorrow. With most droids it's with the battery.
Eelam_star 2
The friend of the year award goes #22, you douche.
rochelleyyyyyyy 2
Even with rain will it change?
KVKdragon 26
It can be done no problem. You can put said iPhone in 2 layers of plastic bags and still use the touchscreen no problem. I personally have a LifeProof case (one of its 4 "proofs" is being waterproof) and I just put that in a small plastic bag to use if I want to listen to music while showering or taking a bath ;)
xXxIracebethxXx 14
#94 - Rain? As in liquid? As in WATER? PFFT, of course it won't change.

echoes185 9
Take it back before she destroys it further!
JoeGrant 12
Usually, and correct me if I'm wrong, by the time OP posts their FML the deed is already done and therefore I don't think OP can take the iPad back at this point.
tacojauns 45
it's just insult to injury now

AppleCare+ = $49 for a replaced iPad

Sheesh people thumbing me down, I was kidding!

On the sunny side you'll have a citrus smelling paper weight.

Apparently rice works with water in electronics... Hopefully it will also work for orange juice:')
every1luvsboners 11
What an idiot. You're obviously supposed to put it in the dishwasher when you spill something on it.
kennaem1 11
Damn. All these years I thought it was the washing machine!
BulldogHoops 14
Your friend just went full retard... NEVER go full retard.
skyeyez9 25
Full Metal retard
brackaman 18
As opposed to what? Partial retard?
MindFreakazoid 10
Is tard a word? Call me cray-cray, but 're' means 'again', so the word 'retard' would, in theory, mean 'to tard again'. Yep. That just happened. I used logic. Amazing, huh? ANYHUM! Use the word 'retard' correctly.
Skarkie321 18
21- Retard is a music term in which something is slowed, which is why people are called retards because they're "slow".
379_fml 11
21- you are a retard. Using the word cray makes you a tard. You used it twice. You can be either a tard-tard or a retard. Your choice
cr3ativity 15
I'm surprised that this quote didn't get more thumbs up. Sir, have my thumbs up.
MindFreakazoid 10
No, 33, that's retardando.
YouSoClear 6
21 - Please stop, you're 12 and not funny..
MindFreakazoid 10
And 39, I know what I said. And honestly I don't give a flying walnut what YOU think. I'm not a retard. I'm actually quite clever for my age. Hence the reason I'm an IB student (if you read my about me). Don't pretend you know how I am because of a few words I posted on an internet page. 41, I wasn't trying to be funny...
YouSoClear 6
53, what were you trying to be then? If it wasn't funny, is it what you actually thought? I thought you said you were clever :l
cr3ativity 15
53. I'm replying to the actual comment. Not your comment. Because the actual comment was a quote that fitted this FML quite well.
loloalltheway 23
21- as you wish: cray-cray
Mizzaroo 13
Judging by some of the replies to this comment, I'm going to assume some people don't know where this quote came from.
goldens_fml 12
Actually the proper term is ritardando, and its abbreviated form is rit.
kingbrizo 24
41: agreed.
ALlamaOnFire 20
21 - And in French retard means late but this has no relevance here. It's a quote, don't go all smart ass man!
RuCheezBurger 10
You're friend is quite the genius. But I'd say either try to fix it by putting it in a bag of rice or by just returning it if you have a warranty.

Warranties on electronic devices are almost always void if there's any liquid damage.

Awh **** :( Why did I **** up with your/you're when I was trying to prove something :(((
