"Shit, I broke it!"

[NoseDigger]

I'm pretty good with things. Only things that have broken on me were a video card (it just... died. 8800 ultra, known to be somewhat... unreliable) and then a few parts of my laptop have fallen off (rubber stops, other unimportant plastic parts). Pretty lucky really.

Headsets and headphones just crumble in my mere presence. I've had about 5 break on me now.

It's the same with me, I've broken lots of headsets:
Koss PortaPro
Koss PortaPro
Sennheiser CX-300 Earbuds
Skullcandy Lowrider
Skullcandy Lowrider (Got a new one because the first broke a day after I bought it, the second lasted three days.)
Sennheiser PX-100
Skullcandy Smokin' Buds Earbuds
So that is 7 headsets in 2 years. But if you count in all the cheap earbuds, like the ones who comes with for example iPods, I'm at a total of 19.

Also, I broke my friend's £90 Logitech MX Something a couple of years ago, it was wireless, and I broke the USB connector by accident.

Try the original Gameboy. That thing is virtually impossible to break, unless you're playing in the bath or trying on purpose. And even then you'd have to go for the battery area.

For myself, I've had to fix my headphones because I stood on them. While they were on a chair.

Generally I'm being extremely careful with electronics but one day when I wanted to remove my processor from my motherboard I messed up. It was stuck with that damn paste and I pulled it off along with the cooler without unlocking the tray first (!). With most of its pins bent I used a mechanical pencil's nose to straighten them up. Surprisingly it still works..

I haven't killed anything lately. I tend to be really careful with my stuff.
My HDD died, but that just happens, not my fault.
And I have sennheisers, so my headphone cable joins with my headphones REALLY sturdily. I swear I step on the cable and pull it taught every second day, and they still haven't broken. I love my headphones.

I've been good with most electrical gadgets, I've broke maybe a DS screen and dropped my phone one too many times at worst.
But the worst thing I've ever broken was my friend's mother's dressing table. Watching a movie in her room, got up and brushed against it, the mirror fell out of an open window and one of the legs snapped when I rushed to try and grab it. She was severely pissed.

Well let's see...

7 Microphones (the 14 ear pieces still work though)
2 Laptop Power Cables. Definitely the most expensive things I've broken, at around £50 to replace.

Not so bad in comparison to some others I've seen, but I still break a microphone every 4-8 months and a power cable every 2-3 years.

-My 360 RROD;d
-Table fan

-3 cellphones (but they where my brothers old phones, and he isn't exactly careful with stuff.)
-One headset (once again something my brother stopped using, got a new one and it's held for years.)

-Maybe 50 earphones, for some reason they just break over and over again. Not cheap ones BTW. I always have to have some earphones, without music I'd go mental.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

iPod headphones. I think about 7 pairs have now broken. I'll be listening quite contentedly and then one headphone will just stop. This is the beginning of the death throes, the remainign headphone will sound progressively worse, then work intermittently, then only work when the wire is in a certain position, and finally it will die and I will be forced to cough up more money for a more expensive pair that should be more reliable. Hasn't worked so far. It's not even like I abuse them, they're either in a pocket, wrapped neatly but not too tightly around the iPod or they're lying around on my desk, or going from my pocket out the neck of my school shirt.

Damn. I thought I was quite good with electronics, but you've just reminded me of the spontaneous destruction of headphones that seems to happen around me. It's annoying, not to mention expensive.

Other than that, things seem to work better around me. Computers unfreeze when I start trying to fix them, I've seen 360's RRoD, but never whilst I'm using them, and batteries seem to last longer in things I use (probably because I always scale the brightness right down).

Remember, if in doubt, try turning it off and on again.

earphones.... god ...damn...earphones..... oh and my nintendo exploded

 

[Cogwheel]

I have taken out light bulbs and stopped clocks just by walking into a room. I do this regularly. That or, in less severe cases, lights and watches near me just have a drastically reduced lifespan.

Headphones. I'm on, realistically speaking maybe my 20th set ince I was 13. I'm 19 now. They just hate me. After a few months (Or weeks in some cases) I'll go to put them in my ipod/mp3 and find only 1 headphone works. RAAAAAAAAAAAGE. My 360 has broken twice too, but I won't claim fault on that.

My PC is a trooper though, no matter how much I hate it. I kick it a lot. I've even kicked the front panel off, exposing the hard drive (seriously, this machine makes my blood boil) and it still works.

Headsets and headphones just crumble in my mere presence. I've had about 5 break on me now.

Only five? I've probably ruined about 15 of them
But really how do you preserve the headphones without them going to hell?

 

[lokun489]

noone but me can get my ps2 working cause i stepped on it a few times but it doesnt hate me it hhates everyone but me.

I'm sorry, that was just painfull to read.
Nobody but me can get my PS2 to work because I stepped on it a few times, but it doesn't hate me. It hates everyone else.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

i have an old PSP, first run, It's screens cracked even though I used that crappy GameStop armored shell, and the analog is for shit, It barely registers movement, which is a death sentence on Monster Hunter, If anybody can help me with analog I would be grateful.

 

[MrSpunkSponge]

-The PS2

HOW?!

Those things were indestructible...

In all my years I have broke many things
- Xbox Hardrive next to my old tv = magnetism
- Xbox got banned from XBL for modding
- First Amp blew up
- Cracked one of my friends limited edition Mass Effect 2 disc

But after all these years, my PS2 stands invincible to age =D

ha ha, an "I break stuff" topic posted on Friday the 13th. Ha ha ha.
I myself break everything but electronics. i still have my first console (ps1) in perfect order

This post makes me feel old. My first console was an NES. I don't have that one, but I have two other NES that still work.

I used to burn through headphones before earbuds were big. Now I just loose earbuds.

 

[CaptainREBell]

Technology hates me, but at least it doesn't break on me...it merely shuns me. A lot. But that is to be expected, for I am girly and lazy ^_^
I once walked into my room when my TV fell off its stand.
I broke the fuel lines on a quad bike with a rather impressive move that most people tend to call 'crashing'.
I put a coffee jar on the side and broke it. Apparently I put it down too hard. It was a mean move on the coffee jar's part

 

[Dapsen]

Bycicles. Dem bitches keep on breaking.
