Today, one of my cousins offered to sell me his mac for a low price. When I got it, I realized it was an old toshiba painted white with an apple sticker on it. My cousin still insists it's a mac. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, my parents bought my 11-year-old brother a MacBook for my birthday. FML
It's the thought that counts
Today, I left my MacBook Pro on the kitchen counter, so my mother later ran it through the dishwasher, thinking it was a “lovely apple chopping board”. FML
Today, a friend sent me to a guy he knows who repairs various electronics for a very low price. Good news: he fixed my malfunctioning iPad. Bad news: it took me several hours to notice that he'd carved the words DOUCHE and HIPSTER into the back panel. FML
Today, I bought a new iPod to replace my old one which decided to stop working. After purchasing my new nano iPod, I decided to bang my old iPod on the desk very hard because it was useless. It started working again. 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 dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
Today, I was packing up my stuff about to go home. I shut off my MacBook but was still pretending to work for the last few minutes, typing on the keyboard. A good way through, I realized my co-worker sitting across from me could see that the Apple logo was off. FML
Today, right after I finished writing a very important paper and saved it to my hard drive, my barely 2-year-old Macbook decided to completely stop functioning. I went to the Apple store and even they can't get it to turn on. That's $1500 down the drain along with my grade. FML
Today, because money is a little tight, I decided to sell one of my retro video game consoles. The family member that initially gave me it to me saw the ad on Facebook and demanded I give it back to them. FML
Nice, awful, try
Today, my desperate cousin "visited" my house demanding that I pay him back his mom's flatbed scanner I broke, in the tune of $3000, which should cover for "interest." Yes, I remember: Our aunt bought it for $29.95 on Black Friday. My sister is the one who broke it, and then blamed it on me. All of this happened back in 1998. FML

31 and 19 - quit being fanboys and stfu, he can like windows and you can like Mac. If windows works for him it's fine, and if Mac works for you, same deal. Seriously, fanboys pissing me off.

Ahaha yes much better, whenever you just said it could be worse it leaves my mind to wonder strange things. Like an old naked asain dude just jumps on Op yelling nonesense. Lmao
owneditup 0
i agree with 19 the only reason to but a mac is if u want to spend 3x the money for half the quality... but on the bright side macs look cool

Next time you revisit, steal something from him/her.

What about emacs.. aka emachines.. do they still make those? Delicious. PS -- 139, I'm less concerned that you commented on the wrong post and more concerned that you have multiple circulatory systems. Let it bleed...

Also I'm imagining that the cousin mailed OP the computer. Maybe they live far away from each other and ol' Cousin Brucie sent a stock picture from the Apple website.

OP, your cousin is pro . YDI for wanting a mac. He actually did give you what you wanted though. The ridiculous extra price on macs comes from the apple logo on it, really.

Bleh, my tiny Colombian has a point. :/ And no, I learned to spot it because you're in denial not me. But of course you wouldn't admit it. :]
ohthebloodygore 16
28, I think you meant to say: Raleigh, MAY I gave you a kiss on your right cheek? I'm sorry if that sounded random. I was just looking at you're picture and the thought came to mind. If so, then no. You can't kiss him on his cheek. Maybe if you constructed sentences correctly or know how to spell his name. You fail.
ohthebloodygore 16

Wow, tiny Colombian littlefoot lunchbox impossible slavycakes evil Asian Bi Bi; did you really just put all my nicknames out there like that? :/ And you've been in denial since day one. :]

General rule of thumb: If you try to come onto Ral, his girls will eat you alive. What can be taken from this? Don't try to come onto Ral.
ohthebloodygore 16
Eli, his girls? Explain, please.
ohthebloodygore 16
Eli, if a girl asked you the same thing with that typing I'd comment as well. It's just horrid. :P
Schizomaniac 24
Love, the females associated with him. *Dodges bullet*
Raleigh_bruh 7
Actually Captain, the title of cockblocker has been passed to Riley. She accepted it willingly. :]
Schizomaniac 24
Bianca, you're probably right; "girls" does make it seem possessive. However, I can't say "friends" because I consider myself a friend (on the superficial, Internet level, anyway) of his and I wouldn't eat anyone alive.
Schizomaniac 24
It was figurative. You complicate my life. -_-
ohthebloodygore 16
Eli, be happy I didn't comment. Because if you please, I'll make it even more complicated. :P
Schizomaniac 24
Love, BRING IT. Bianca, aren't we all :/. Isn't it funny that he calls you little foot and you call him Bigfoot. Wait, I haven't gotten to the funny part yet. Little foot is a dinosaur and bigfoot is slightly larger than a human. The humor is in the irony. Use that against him.
Raleigh_bruh 7
Gah, she isn't lying Eli. She's very complicated, and difficult. :]
ohthebloodygore 16
Another time, Eli. I'm off to bed:) Since it's 10 a.m.
Schizomaniac 24
Ral, I don't doubt it. Love, goodnight/day.
Schizomaniac 24
No, I'm trying to help you out, dork. Dinosaurs are bigger than humans. That means littlefoot is bigger than Bigfoot. Size declares dominance, therefore, you are superior to him. You win.
Raleigh_bruh 7
-.- Yeeeeh.. How about you just stick to texting me and stop talking about my giant feet. Or I could say something about you. :]
Raleigh_bruh 7
Wow, now she's just full of shit all over again.. I think your mouth needs a fresh diaper, Bianca. :] You are in no way superior to me, and we established that awhile back.
Raleigh_bruh 7
I bet you don't. We argue about too many irrelevant things. :/

I have important new everyone!!!!!! Cherry slushies from 7-11 n lay BBQ potatoe chips are good, when your buzzing it after hooka!! Especially when your friend changes your status to in a relationship on fb, and a girl texts you "Dont text me nigguh" lmao. That is all. :D woo can't wait for Friday!! btw op you are retarded for not buying the mac at a Best Buy.

No Bianca that's what corporate America wants you to believe!! lol jk My buzz is going down. :( But it's delicious either way. XD

Eli, what's the fml where we started arguing with that troll about threadjacking?? I can't seem to find it... :/

But he's talking about slushies, you know those things the mexicans with elotes, doritos pass by on the street?? Oh nvm you don't live in LA.. hmm well some of those guys sell slushies along with elotes. Btw they're bombskiies!! <3
Raleigh_bruh 7
Chris, I will be your attorney. In the case of slurpees having magical powers, case dismissed due to slurpees not being a real drink. Only slushies exist. :]
Chrisskiies 0
I think I might need a new attorney, :(. How can you say slushees don't exist, when I drinking one right now?!?!?!?!? D: Is this a dream, like inception? lol
Chrisskiies 0
I mean slurpees!!! My mind is wandering. Lol. I should go to sleep now, I give Raleigh the power of attorney for a few more comments. Umm more like 2:34am, my time. It's 2:24 am now.

Bleh, I quit. Both of you win and I lose.

I don't understand why so many people are against Macs. They're a great PC; get over yourself and stop hating! Because you know, Vista was sooooooo much better, right? *Sigh*

PC = Portable Computer I'll keep my head held high, thank you very much :)

This virus argument is a laugh. Apple fanboys make it sound like having a PC means you get crippling viruses every single day. This is like saying that everyone should get dull plastic scissors so that nobody can cut themselves. If you get a virus and you can't get rid of it yourself (By you know? Using Google), you are ******* retarded. Why are PC's better? One word: Gaming.
FYLDeep 26
#103 First of all, I'd take a PC any day since you can get one with comparable hardware to a Mac for half the price. Second of all, PC stands for personal computer. Third of all, are you sure you have a head to hold up in the first place?
Jimboom 12
#63 Whoever said you had to have Vista or even Microsoft as an operating system on a pc? Besides, even the people who use MS know that every 2nd operating system of theirs is rubbish... ;-)
danza_fml 0
Heh, my boyfriend is a gamer so he uses a PC, but personally I prefer Macs just on the basis of not having to worry about viruses, and plus the lack of need for any games. I mean sure I'll play some Assault Cube [maybe even some CoD], but not on my Mac. Personally, I have nothing against PC's, I'm just saying that there's no reason to be against Macs either. :)
Anaxes 5
You know Macs actually DO get viruses right?

*Shrugs* I've had mine for 5 years without any issues, so that's fine :)
The_good_times 0
Just because some of you are dumb asses that don't know how to install and antivirus and a couple of basic firefox add-ons like noscript and addblock doesn't mean that PC's are vulnerable. Macs are for people that like to make companies like Apple rich because they wanna be trendy.
time4coffee 3
had a PC since 95, no viruses yet. Use anti virus software. Macs don't have viruses becasue it isn't worth hacker's time to write a virus for them- too small a market share. One virus and they'd crumble in a sec.
knight0748 5
hey, Mac means Macintosh and pc means personal computer. and apple actually made the first pc. apple marketed their Mac like it's something else, but it's not. main difference is the software. windows get more virus because of their market share, not because it's inferior. look at how fast they jailbreak iPhones, everything can be hacked.
