Last Sunday i was putting my SS 5x5 back together, it was the second time i had done it, and about 20 minutes in, i was done with the third layer, then i said "Hey Dad, wanna come see what a 5x5 looks like on the inside?" then my Dad comes into my room, and says, "Wow that is pretty complex".
The next thing i know, he picks the cube up to get a closer look, and then before i can tell him to put it back down or it will fall apart, one piece falls. He says "Oops". I ask: "Can you please put it..." and then the entire cube falls apart. Cubing FML.

God dammit, just doing a 4x4x4 had a would be LL skip ruined with a double parity. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this happen.

not a LL skip if you had parity..

He said "would be LL skip"..

If there were no parity he would've solved the f2l differently and thus the LL would not be skipped..

the FML issue here is that a case where OLL and PLL were skipped was wasted on a solve that didn't even become PB on 4x4x4.

That would depend on the AUF done before the parity alg(s).

Did first few moves of OLL (sexy sledge), undid it to see if I could do OLLCP, saw I couldn't, and continued as normal, losing at least a second.

Wait, so are you saying that there was a new WR, or that you got that unoficially on one of the scrambles?

He tried the scrambles from oxford, but he couldn't go. He got 5.16 on one of them which would have been WR.

Ok I'll admit it, I cube at work way more than I should. The other day I took home my 4x4 and 2x2 to do some maintenance and I brought them back with me today. I was planning on sneaking them in in my lunch pail and so I put them in and then got distracted with something else. When I came back in I picked up the lunch pail and didn't think anything of it because of the weight from the cubes. Walked out of the house and got all the way to work only to realize that I did not actually pack any lunch. Oh well, at least I got my cubes. But I am awful hungry FML

Okay, so the other day, I was cubing on the bus and had some easy scrambles. One was a pretty easy XCross, got to OLL and realized timer stopped at like .5. Did another solve, really easy cross, same thing. Then a third time (with an admittedly standard scramble). I realized I had Drop to Stop on and the accelerometer was picking up the shakiness if the bus.
I also get PLL skips whenever I'm not timing.
Was doing OLL, and during the last turns, it looked like I had a PLL skip, so I stopped it. It was really a J perm. (Don't they kinda look like PLL skips from a few moves away?)
This one is less of FML and more of a why did I do that. I decided to put my aurora in the microwave (I really don't know why) back when I averaged 40-50 sec. I put it in for like 5 seconds, nothing happened. Another 3 sec. Nothing. Then 5. Then I heard a loud pop, and smoke started pouring out from the holes in the cube. Apparently the core screw got overheated and melted the plastic of the core, creating a mini plastic explosion. The cube and my kitchen stunk to high hell, and I literally sprayed the cube with shoe spray, and let some of the pieces sit in a vinegar soaked rag for probably about a week. It honestly was the worst smelling thing I've ever smelled. Ironically, it works perfectly and is still a great cube. (And the smell is gone)

I really need to break this down because it sounds like the ramblings of someone having a stroke or something...
40-50 seconds is the point where most Mr. Wizard experiments with a speedcube begin. Did you follow the steps of the scientific method?
You gotta keep going until you hear the satisfying "loud pop", am I right???
Apparently you've never put anything metal into a microwave before this experiment.
Seems like a natural thing to do to a smoking cube. My parents always taught me, if you don't have a fire extinguisher handy, use the nearest aerosol spray available.
Another obvious follow up.
I'm not exactly sure how intentionally subjecting your cube to the most bizarre and convoluted torture ever thought of, and the cube still functioning counts as "irony."

Getting a DNF because you assumed a J perm was a PLL skip

Before this comp, my 4x4 comp PB single was 36, although I have many official 36s.
My last official 4x4 average was 36, DNF, 38, 55, 34 = 43.7x
The DNF would have been a 39 or 40, but was a huge explosion, which made me loose a small inner edge, and eventually the whole cube disappeared later on. I needed a low 38 average to podium.
