Today, after taking my clothes out of the washer, I noticed at the very bottom of the washer my boyfriend's USB stick I found a couple of days ago. The USB stick contains his English essay, and his novel he has been working on for almost six months. FML

You can just dry it off in the sun... don't use it for about a week so that it dries thoroughly, then it should work just fine. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Yeah, it should still work once it dries out (flash memory=no moving parts). Should be a lesson to your boyfriend, too—clean out your own damn pockets!

If he doesn't have a backup, he deserves it.

It might still be good. I've washed my sons' USBs and they still work.

I also had one of my usb-sticks in the laundry once. Still works perfectly. So try it... then hopefully you'll see this is not an FML.

USB drives work perfectly fine after being washed. I had mine washed before and it's still working.

Exactly. The reason electronics fail in water is because the water is short circuiting the board. If there's no electricity, there's no short circuit. The flash drive would work fine and therefor this FML is fail.

If he is not smart enough to backup something like a novel in multiple places, I'm guessing that Western Civilization will be no poorer for not receiving this masterpiece. I have a short story I wrote in a day that I keep backed up four different places!

If he made no backups, he is just too stupid to write anything good. Also, flash drives are pretty much waterproof, put it in a jar with a cup of rice and it will dry out in a day or two. If it won't work afterward... well, you both deserved it.

Usually the backup is on a USB.
