Today, my friends took my work laptop and changed the sounds. Now, whenever I remove a USB device, a woman's voice screams "Put it back!" and when I insert a USB device, it says "Oh, you need to push it in harder!" I don't know how to change it back. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the speakers on my laptop weren't working. I worried I'd broken something, and started freaking out. I restarted my computer numerous times and played with the settings for an hour before calling my sister in to help. She looked at it for two seconds, then unplugged my headphones. FML
Today, my laptop plug got stuck in the wall outlet. I stood there for 10 minutes violently trying to yank it out. My boss came in and screamed at me for making noise. I was angry, so I glared at him and yanked on the plug as hard as I could. It dislodged itself noiselessly and I fell over. FML
Today, while trying to fix a corrupted USB hard drive with my wife’s computer I accidentally wiped her laptop drive instead of clearing the external drive. I’m not allowed on her computers anymore. FML
Today, while trying to get my phone to charge, I shoved in the cable harder and harder and tried to wobble it so my phone would charge. After snapping the USB input from the force, I saw the plug was switched off. FML
Today, I had my headphones on while on the bus. I didn't realize how loud the music was till the woman sitting next to me punched me for changing her favorite song and then "ignoring her" when she asked me to put it back. FML
Today, I was on a red-eye flight, and the woman beside me was chattering loudly to her friend. I opened my laptop and got to work. Suddenly, one of the women turned to me and told me that the clicking of my keyboard was too loud. She then called me an "inconsiderate, selfish bitch." FML
Today, my cute co-worker asked if he could use my computer. I told him my password and went to the bathroom. When I came back he said he'd finished. I tried to log in, but my password wouldn't work. I then noticed a Post-it note on the desk saying, "Stop stalking me and I'll change the password back." FML
Today, at work, my mouse cursor kept randomly moving all over the screen, and messed up an entire day's attempted work. As I was leaving, I overheard one of my co-workers saying he'd plugged a wireless mouse adapter into my computer, and had been trolling me all day. FML
Today, my young stepdaughter decided that she should store her coins in my laptop's card reader slot and in the CD drive. I just bought the laptop last week. FML
Today, I was going to the bathroom at work. Since I knew it would take a while, I brought my iPod in for entertainment. To bad it disabled me from hearing the continuous knocks on the door as well as the manager eventually picking the lock and busting in. FML

Try turning off the volume
Crometer 23
Or use headphones if you are allowed to

Or turning it up loud so everyone can hear your amazing computer.

Your friends are hilarious pranksters

To be real honest, that advice is horrible. Because that would make him have to turn down the volume every time he inserts or removes a USB. We don't know what his line of work is and he might very well need the sound on at all times, or at least most. If I were you I'd check a solution using google.

Well, don't keep us in suspense.

85 - Their advice is pretty sound (no pun intended). Muting the computer is an excellent thing to do while they're waiting to figure out a real solution. Muting most laptops only takes one button click; you make it sound although it's some great hassle.

Hey, google works wonders!!! I learned to change the startup sounds and words on my windows vista laptop because of google!!! I forgot how now, but another quick google search will suffice. ;)

Haha if it wasn't your work laptop, it would be a lot funnier! Just ask your friends to change it back(:

I am sure he tried asking them but I doubt they would change it back. Which makes it funnier
persianninja 23
Sounds like an interesting friend

It sucks its your work laptop. However, otherwise, that is awesome!
ScenicSubterfuge 39
I can't imagine having to announce to all your peers that you didn't do it!^.^ They'd totally believe it ...right.
zolziski 11
It wasn't me, I promise. Look! I even posted on FML about it!

Ask your friend politely to remove it from your work laptop, and if he's any friend of yours he will.
Cleu 12
Then I would ask him to put it on my home computer.

If it's Windows, go on control panel/system control, "hardware and sounds", "change system sounds". It's quite easy, you'll find it :) Edit: But I like it, why change it? Just reduce the volume, if it's too annoying :D
NandaPanda 22
He probably needs to remove it because it is his work laptop. That's not very professional, and he may suffer some consequences at his job because of the immaturity.
neverready 25
Depends on the job...but yes, to be professional he should change it back :) And change it on his private laptop to these sounds :)

That is extremely funny, but I don't think they should have done it on your work laptop. It could potentially get your fired or maybe lose a customer!
Uramonkey 11
If the customers have any sense of humour, I don't think they will be loosing any anytime soon.
SomeRandomGuy15 18
The problem is many customers DON'T have a sense of humor.
evilplatypus 39
Or management, or prudish coworkers, or a guest in the building. It only takes a single complaint for you to wind up in front of HR getting a sexual harassment lecture.
Bluekaren16 19
I'm sure your co-workers would find that hilarious!
Uramonkey 11
Looks like you are stuck with shitty office computers from now on :)
