Wow must say that sucks but like you said he got pissed at you so you must of did something dumb and hey if you have younger siblings common sense to put meaningful things up where they can't find them! fyl and-yup not permanent there are some home remedies to fix that screen like rubbing alcohol

maybe you shoulda been nicer to him

What the hell? Skip all this crazy stuff like Axe and insect repellent. Just use any strong solvent such as rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover (as an earlier poster recommended) and you'll be fine. Then you won't have to worry about your electronics smelling like a douchebag or a summer camp.

now you have an ipod shuffle. enjoy.

even though a lot of these people have good ideas to get the permanent marker off u have to remember that its touchscreen and u dont want to enternally ruin it as well so i would suggest calling the ipod customer service or looking it up.

Simply, write over it with a DryErase marker, then wipe off. There you have it, like new again.

acetone will clean it up. then u kick the mother f-er in the teeth for doing that.

Whiteboard marker will get most, VERY small amount of rubbing alcohol so as not to leak into the screen or buttons. I ruined a power/lock button on mine when I used too much rubbing alcohol to clean it. Warranty covers the buttons though as long as they can't find marker. ;) Also, if my sibling did that, my parents would ground him (and I mean no electronics and locked in his room) till he's 20.

ORGYY !!!! :D

if alcohol, nail polish remover, and dry erase marker don't work, you can try getting a new screen cover here: http://www.digiexpress.us/ they have a ton of tutorials and i was able to replace my headphone jack (and i'm really, really clumsy with electronics XD)
