I've been having such bad luck with technology lately.... The following events are in chronological order and took place in a 3 week time span. - My mp3 died right before I went to camp, so I took my dad's small tiny little mp3 player
- While I was at camp, my dads mp3 player's screen stopped working >.>
- While I was away, my parents ordered me an ipod nano, so I put songs on it using my parents Mac, but I realized I wanted it on my windows computer upstairs, so we tried installing, uninstalling, and reinstalling itunes about 5 times (and almost broke my ipod in the process),then me and my dad gave up and just kept my ipod synced to the Mac
- My parents were going to give away a table that was on my windows computer, so they took my computer and placed it on another table. In the process, we seemed to have lost one of the hard drives on my computer, so now it won't display on the monitor. We're most likely not going to be able to fix it so we'll have to buy a new computer.
I am currently using a laptop my dad gave me returned to me (I had it before but my parents took it away). I am now waiting for that to break....
Please feel free to comfort me with stories of your own XD
I used to be an adventurer like you... then I took a Deadly Nadder spine in the knee. |

I used to be an adventurer like you... then I took a Deadly Nadder spine in the knee. Apparently that's an old Nordic saying, actually meaning that you got married XD But I don't think it's actually true, the only source for it is a post on Tumblr :/ |

Apparently that's an old Nordic saying, actually meaning that you got married XD But I don't think it's actually true, the only source for it is a post on Tumblr :/I really hope that's true. Cause it's too funny! XD So mysob story is that whenever my dad would have trouble with our office computer he would simply wipe the hard drive and start all over. And here's the kicker, he wouldn't tell anyone else when he did this. I lost my iTunes, games scores, school work, and fanfics that I had been working on. And he did this for over two years before mom finally ripped him a new one. You'd think that he stop after he learned how he nearly destroyed an entire year of my life by doing this. But no, he didn't. Eventually mom took pity on me and bought me a cheap little laptop that only lasted a year. But it was a great year. And here's the story of my new laptop. Back in June me and my folks when halfies on a new laptop for me. It helped that I used my own job earnings to pay for my end. Ot even ten days after buying it the hard drive crashed. Took it back to bestbuy and the lady immediately gave me another no hassle. It was late that night and I didn't open it until the next morning. Upon opening it I found the screen cracked. Yeah. Returned it and found that no one makes that laptop anymore and was forced to cough up another $250 for a windows 8 when I only wanted a windows 7. Mom took pity on me and paid the difference for me. But I've been using it all ts time and ave never had an issue. Except not even a month later the hard drive in my iPod crashed and I coughed up $220 for a refurbished one that actually works now. |

Well, today the audio stopped working on my phone and I have no clue how to fix it -.- It doesn't even have the slider any more or anything! It won't make a sound! D: Even with my headphones! I've tried the ol' switching it off and on again and using lots of different ways to get to the volume controls but none work. Only thing left is for me to do is reset the whole thing after backing it up on my laptop :c

Darn it, I got my text in your quote but don't know how to get it out >.> Wow, that's a lot to go through. It seems that most electronics are so much more trouble then they're worth :\ |

I have such an old phone it doesn't even have internet XD |
