By Myriam - 22/03/2009 04:51 - United States

Today, my friend asked me if she could borrow my laptop and I can pick it up later and I said ok. I stop by her house later and no one answers. The next-door neighbor says that she left to go live with her mom. She lives in Detroit. I live in Maine. FML

Always call first

Today, I went to visit my aunt who lives 6 hours away from me. Her car was missing from her driveway, but she's unemployed and barely leaves the house. Turns out, she moved in with her new boyfriend and didn't tell anyone, so I had to drive 6 hours back. FML

Get a grip

By Hopelesshomeless - 12/03/2013 18:35 - United States - Cedar Rapids

Today, I moved back to my home town. My best friend and I had arranged to rent a house together that we both liked. I finished my last day at work and made the three-hour drive, only for her to break down and tell me that she isn't "ready" to move out of her parents' basement. She's 25. FML

Adopt, don't shop

Today, I went to pick up my dog from a friend's place since she agreed to watch him while I went out of state for Spring Break. I arrived at her apartment. She’s gone and the apartment was vacated. She won’t answer her phone or texts, and vanished from all social media. I’m still making payments on the dog. FML

Landlords gonna landlord

By katurday - 03/11/2009 15:59 - United States

Today, my landlord came over while I wasn't home. My friend and her pets were thrown out by her husband. I'm the only person she knows in this state and she begged me to stay. I reluctantly told her fine; just don't answer the door. She did, with the animals, and told him she was living here. FML

Ambien conversations are the worst

By Anonymous - 24/09/2020 23:02

Today, my close friend messaged me, asking if she could still move in. I don't remember the conversation we had saying that she could move in in the first place. I live in a one bedroom apartment. I have no idea what to say. FML

Where are you?

Today, my friend, who I'm moving in with, flew up to drive from Pennsylvania to Texas, where she lives, with me. I went to the airport to pick her up and we discovered she accidentally flew to the wrong airport. On the other side of the state. I'm driving through the night to rescue her. FML

Today, my roommate asked me to lock the door as we left our place. I told her to use my keys, because my hands were full. Afterwards, she and her boyfriend set off out of town for the next couple of days. She forgot to give me back my keys. FML

Today, I reached into my pocket and found my mom's car keys. I'm a four hour drive away, and she obviously can't come to pick them up. FML

Suspicious activity

By Anonymous - 04/04/2015 04:04 - United States - Baltimore

Today, I visited my girlfriend's apartment for the first time. I guess she forgot to do some spring cleaning before I showed up, because I saw my laptop on her couch. The same laptop that was stolen from my house along with several other valuables last week. FML

Today, I was having a conversation with a new friend when she remembered she needed to grab something from her car. I don't know where she parked, but it's been two and a half hours and she's still gone. FML

Laptop is a very personal thing, like a lingerie i must say. Why to give it to anyone at all? Find the bitch and smack her down.

See, this is why I'm psychotic about my laptop. No one touches it unless I'm right there over their shoulder. I have everything password protected and I even have the guest account disabled except for those few instances when I let someone use it. I enable the guest account, log out of mine, log into the guest account, and then sit there and watch everything that they do. When they're done, I log out of the guest account, log back into mine, and disable it again. See, I'm totally nuts about my computer. I keep everything backed up to two different external hard drives and I keep them both hidden in different places. It's not even that I have things to hide, I just don't like people messing with my stuff. Especially my files and music. I would probably die if I was to lose all my music! I hear all these horror stories about people getting viruses on their computer and losing everything . . . That's what I have nightmare about. I'm extremely careful about what I download, install, where I go online, and what programs that I use to protect my computer, but I have this unnatural fear that someone will manage to put something like that onto my computer and destroy all my years of collecting! That, and either steal or lose vital personal family information that I've been entrusted with. I would call her first and see if she left it with someone for you to pick up or if she's shipping it back (overnight, of course), but if she doesn't answer after a day, call the police. That's just a really horrible thing to do to someone nice enough and (sorry, but it's true) stupid enough to loan out his laptop.

firstly, if someone has physical access to the computer, you can kick passwords right out of the window because they just can use a live cd or something (and if you supervise them, why have passwords at all?). Also, hiding your backups is stupid as hell. Just encrypt that shit, then noone can access it even if you leave it in a spotlight

Yeah, your friend is a thief. Report it stolen. Give 'em Hell for it.

Try to get in touch with her, whether via telephone or e-mail. If she doesn't reply to your satisfaction within a week, call the cops on her. Even if you don't get your laptop or money back, an outstanding warrant or unpaid fine will work wonders on her credit score and any background checks someone may run on her.

I can't believe you people are so stupid. SHE STOLE IT, MORONS. She didn't accidentally forget she was moving and accidentally take it with her. This person can't just call her up and go "oh hey you accidentally took my laptop wanna ship it back? :D" Jesus christ, some of the people here are completely incapable of putting 2 and 2 together.
