Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML

Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML

Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML

Today, I was lying on the sofa when the phone rang. I jumped up to answer in time. I knocked over my laptop, and kicked my guitar into a glass causing it to smash. It was a wrong number. FML

Today, I dropped my 6-month-old $3,500 guitar. Luckily, it had a one year warranty from the store so I drove back. It was shut down. FML

Today, while tuning my bass guitar, I noticed a very strange screeching sound. I leaned over to look behind the neck. The biggest string snapped off and cut the side of my face. FML

Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML

Today, my girlfriend and her mother bought a hanger for my $2000 guitar as a birthday present. They wanted to surprise me by hanging it on the wall. They screwed it upside down, so before I came home it fell off and my guitar broke. FML

Today, I got punched in the face, had hair ripped out of my skull and broke a tooth on the pavement when I fell. Some guy mistook me for someone else. FML

Today, while video chatting with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the country, I thought I'd play a song for her on my guitar. The string broke and hit me in the face. I burst into tears and had to hang up. FML

Today, I tripped and hit my head on a rock, perforating my eardrum. That rock also broke. It was a €3000 headstone I now have to pay for. FML

That's BS. Were you the only two people in the store? Because if you weren't you can get some people to vouch for you. I wouldn't give them anything. That's absolutely ludicrous.

Don't stores have insurance to cover things like this? Definite FYL.

Exactly. Didn't anyone see what happened? This really isn't your fault and you don't owe them anything. Also, I hate people who just jump on someone's back unexpectedly. You could seriously damage a person's spine that way, I'd be really pissed if someone did that.

I think he could have an FML of this too, for confusing you with someone else.

#26, are you serious? Yeah, that guy confused him with someone, but then he ran off and didn't deal with the consequences. The store asked the OP to pay for it, so it's her FML by far. Re: original post, though, you really shouldn't have to pay for anything, and would almost certainly win if you had to go to court to avoid paying for it. That said, the store owner just got 9 guitars destroyed, and it's certainly not HIS fault. What really needed to happen was one of you stopping the asshole who jumped on your back, before he could run out of the store. It's all his responsibility, and now you can't find him again. I hope the owner has insurance...
