Today, while I was in the shower, my older brother thought it would be funny to change the language on my phone to Serbo-Croatian. I don't know how and can't change it back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to change the language setting on my phone to Mandarin. Unfortunately, neither of us knows Mandarin, and we can't change it back to English. 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, I had to give an important presentation, so I checked it over one last time before taking a shower and heading out. I found out too late that my brother used that window of opportunity to replace the entire document with the N-word repeating over and over again. FML
Today, while I thought my brother was playing with my new phone, he was actually texting a bunch of my friends that I have chlamydia. He deleted his texts so I wouldn't see them, and I spent a half-hour trying to figure out why I kept getting texts of shock and sympathy. We're both in our 20's. FML
Today, while I was showering, my brother thought it would be funny to burst through the door pretending he was a burglar. Panicked, I went to grab the soap bar as a weapon, slipped, fell, and hit my head on the faucet. FML
Today, in an idle moment I tried to change the language on a Word document. Instead, I changed my default Office language, and now all my Office apps - plus all my work Excel files - are now in Ukrainian. It's really hard to fix when you can't read the instructions. FML
Today, I found out that while I was on vacation my neighbor had let my brother into my apartment. I don't have a brother. FML
Today, I was using the bathroom and checking Facebook on my phone. As I'm checking my newsfeed, I noticed a new photo upload by my brother. I guess I forgot to properly shut the door to the bathroom, because it's me on the toilet. FML
Today, my youngest decided my phone needed a bath in the toilet. FML
Today, my brother sent me an image by Skype, saying I really had to see it. I figured it was some kind of stupid joke, but I tried to look anyway. It wouldn't open. Turns out he thought he could just rename the ".exe" on a virus to ".jpg" and it would still run. My brother's a cretin. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You must put it on the top rack of the dishwasher and run the cycle with the heated drying. Then it'll work great.

If you have used the same phone for ages you should be able to navigate by memory....but then again not everyone has photographic memory.

Just look at a phone with the same menu as yours and it shouldn't be that difficult

67, some people have no reason to have a password cause they trust those around them. Some phones don't even have a password option. My old one didn't.

#88 - I definitely don't trust the ones around me to leave my phone unlocked. As a teenager I have a lot of douchey friends who like to prank each other. Better safe than sorry.

It's a Croat or a Serb. Not a serbo-Croat.

How do you know it's Serbo-Croatian?

I thought you had to shove it in your ass and let it marinate in there for a while, then just pull it back out and it should work fine.

That's generally how all electronics related problems are solved..provided you can fit it, that is.

My comment was meant for #60.

thats so mean of him.

Not really that mean, you can go find someone who has an iPhone and use that as a reference. I did this to my friend and she just laughed.
Kiirst_mt1994 26
it's not mean, just having a little laugh!

Aaaaaand Translate Google is your friend! And I would also give him the same courtesy...

Except google translate only has normal Croatian.

Might be enough to figure it out... And there's always babelfish...

Serbian and Croatian are two different languages, they're close but not the same, so either u use Serbian or croation in the traslator....
theuns 8
why use google translate when you can just use normal google to find out how to change it back?
stormchaser24 24
Simple. Reset the phone. Or take it to a store and have them do it. My brother did the same thing expect it was Arabic. Now set his phone to Russian or Japanese.
KingOmar21 3
lol, I know Arabic.
Deeznutzhairy 7
Why is it funny to know Arabic ? O.o

I've done this to myself occasionally. But I know the look of my phone system so well that I can just click into my menu and find where the language setting would normally be. I think if you fiddle around with your phone for a while you'll be able to change it back =)

Guess it's time to get Rosetta Stone...

Omg The same thing happened to me! But I was the stupid one who changed it to Chinese and re set my iPod in the process of changing it back!
