Today, my mother thought it would be okay to take my camera and erase all of my pictures that included my graduation, party, and my sisters wedding. Her excuse? "We need more room for Katie's birthday." Katie is our pet cat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom found a box full of stuff she had been looking for. She started going through it and found baby pictures of my sister and me, as well as pictures of the cats. She put my baby pictures back in the box and closed the lid. The cat pictures are now hanging in her living room. FML
Today, I deleted a load of junk that was messing up my mother's computer. I don't know how I'm going to tell her I accidentally wiped out all of her wedding photos. FML
Today, my parents dropped by my new house, and my mother offered to tidy up for me while I was out. After they left, I noticed that her "tidying up" included throwing out all the pictures of my girlfriend and replacing them with pictures of herself. FML
Today, my mom called me an attention seeker and threw a bitch fit because my cat "decided" to die on her birthday. FML
Today, the girl I was babysitting was being disrespectful to me, so I took away her stuffed animal and told her that she couldn't have it back until she apologized. She ended up sneaking onto my laptop and deleting all the pictures I'd saved from my recent vacation to Europe. FML
Today, my mentally-unhinged mother reached a new level of psycho - she threw a tantrum and raged at my father, accusing him of cheating on her with our cat. 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, my girlfriend went through my phone and computer and deleted all my videos and photos of my high school girlfriend, who died when she was only 16. Her excuse was that keeping those photos was emotional cheating. FML
Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. FML
Today, my 4 year old daughter was ripping out photos of the family photo book, I asked her why she was doing it she answered, "I saw mummy doing it to another book." The only other family photo book was the day we got married. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They are recoverable so long as she hasn't taken the pictures of "Katie" yet. Swap out the memory card for a new one and hold onto the memory card with the deleted pictures in them. Then find a Computer Tech who can recover deleted data from computers, flash drives, and memory cards. It won't be cheap ... but you could always send your mother the bill once you recover them.

What a bitch. But you should back your pictures up really.

She never said she didn't back them up.

I don't understand people who take hundreds of pictures on their digital camera and wait months to upload them instead of doing it right away.

Tell your sister that her mom deleted all her wedding photos so she could take pictures of the cat. That should get you a sense of revenge without having to do something bad to her and get a destructive cycle going. Also, upload your pictures. Rookie mistake i'll forgive because you still live with your mom i'm speculating must be young enough to actually BE a rookie. Here's some life tips for similar types of mistakes to save you from potential future FMLs: - Save your work every ten minutes. - Backup on a second machine. - E-mail yourself a copy of it. - Print out a copy as soon as you've finished, don't put it off until the morning. - Keep your backups updated.

And that's when you delete the pictures of Katie. Yeah it's mean but, she can always retake the pictures of her cat. You can't go back in time and retake the wedding and graduation pictures.

Yes, you should have backed them up, but really now... a 2GB SD card can hold thousands of pictures.

WTF.....I have no problem with celebrating a pet's birthday/adoption day/whatever, but why the **** do you need to erase a whole memory card to take pictures? I'd probably just take a picture of how my pet looks now compared to when I adopted it, and maybe one of it enjoying whatever new toy I give it, and that is that.
