Today, I let a friend borrow a power saw. When I found it on my porch later, the blade was missing and the cord was cut. Looking closer, I realized it was his saw. He kept my new one. He totally denies that he switched them and now won't answer his door. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got my laptop back after lending it to my friend. It wouldn't boot, and after investigating I found out it'd been stripped of its hard drive and all its memory. When I confronted my "friend", he accused me of lying and trying to ruin his reputation. FML
Today, my neighbor came over to borrow my lawnmower. As I have previously loaned it to him and he returned it broken, I refused. He then promptly ate the strawberries off my daughter's small strawberry plant and stormed off. FML
Today, I came home to find that my roommate had picked my lock and stolen my new laptop. When I tried to take it back, he called the police. They sided with him since he had also taken the receipt, which was "proof" that it was his. FML
Today, my "friend" came over. I caught him trying to steal my iPod on the way out. Proud of myself for catching him, I asked him to leave, only to realize that I had forgotten to actually take the iPod back from him before he left. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, I met my neighbor. When she saw me cutting down trees on my lot, she interrogated me and called the police because she didn't believe I owned the property. She didn't call the cops when she watched someone steal a cord of wood from my property two days ago. FML
Today, I was helping a friend move. Before we arrived, he put his key on my key ring to keep it safe. When we got there, he promptly shoved my front door key into the lock and snapped it clean off. Not only can we not get into his house, but now I can't get back into mine. FML
Today, my sister asked to use my blow dryer, so I gave her the keys to my apartment. When I came home from work, half my clothes were missing. FML
Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML
Today, I was walking to the store when I ran into one of my friends. He said he heard about my bike being stolen the day before, and that whoever took it was a heartless dick. I hadn't told anyone about the theft. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Where I come from, people who do things like that are called douchebags, not friends.

Makes no difference if he switched them, you loaned your friend a good working saw he has to return a good working saw. As a last resort you could try to involve the police for theft but I would first try peer pressure and involve his parents

What if the op isn't a teenager?
Reality_bites 14
Yes but the problem here is that the OP now needs to prove its theirs, by way of a receipt or something that shows the goods belong to them. Not everyone keeps the receipts or engraves their valuables.

Involve his parents? Wtf?

A good working saw? Did you miss the part where he said the blade was missing and the cord was cut?
bioboy725 10
He said he has to return a good working saw. He means even if it was the same saw, but broken beyond repair, that he (the friend) should buy a new one that does work.

No one is saying he is a teen but obviously he is his peer because, he is borrowing tools an things. An him not answering door screams immature.

Just steal your saw back when you have the chance. I donkt let people borrow my things because I am always afraid of bad stuff happening.

Cut his oh wait.... You can't.

And stop calling him your friend. He's an asshole, OP.

Yeah this guys right. He's not a friend. I'd knock on his door and stay low out of sight of the peep hole. Then when he opens it kick him in the balls. Throw his saw back at him and then take mine back. But that's just me.
mongoosemike 23
Kick him in the balls?? A swift punch to the mouth would be more appropriate, sir.
EmiEvelyn 12
Damage is visible. Kick to the balls hurt more and not as much of a chance to hurt yourself. Also more likely to go to the police for getting punched in the face than getting kicked in the balls

Hey neighbour, can I borrow your car? *next day* What do you mean that's not your car? :)

I agree your life sucks! But the other guy definitely 'deserves' to have his door forced open.

You could always return it through his car windshield. :)
Inheritance 10
Then OP will be repairing the windshield and probably lose any chance of getting his saw back.
LexieWins 0
They'd be about even and OP could honestly claim it's not his saw :)

If he wants to be a immature prick about it. Open up a can of whoop ass and get your saw back.
Celina_Lune 20
Well, you still know where he lives! You'll get it back... eventually. Maybe. ...Probably not.

Watch out if you try to physically get it back though, he has a power saw.
TurtleSmile 14
Is he serious? Sounds like he's not a good friend and isn't the brightest bulb either.
