        • AllGreatAllTheTime says:

        • Unknown Caller says:

          P.S. sugi poola spammere! /rage

    • MrBo says:

      Call the credit card company and ask for a replacement wife.

    • Piet says:

      You have to divorce it.
      The sooner the better.

  2. FlamingFire says:

    The only possible way that this could happen is that she is blonde and they are both rednecks. Who still uses a computer with a floppy disk drive, anyway? Only rednecks. That’s right. Enough said.

    • bivoj says:

      Who? What about heavy industry engineer? HW interfaces on industrial machines still use COM port and applications often works under dos or win 3.11 ……..

      • .... says:

        noone cares about the technical s**t this is the failblog not the nerdblog

      • bfo says:

        I seriously doubt that a) they have an industrial computer in their home or b) anyone with an access to industrial computer is this stupid.

        • Pacifix says:

          a) maybe wife visited him at work
          b) maybe he keeps floppy in home computer for compatibility. Or even if no industrial comp, he has old programs or documents. Or he just didn’t pull it out after hardware upgrade.
          c) maybe he did it himself and now he’s too ashamed to admit it and hides behind wife.

          • AmEv says:

            d) This image is very old.
            e) This couple is hanging onto a 10-year-old PC.

            • Daikoru says:

              10-year-old PC? None of my computers lasted half that long, so I certainly can’t believe they managed to keep it working for that long with such lack of technology knowledge!

      • detroitguy says:

        It’s also not uncommon to just… have a 3.5″ floppy drive in a personal computer. We’re not talking about rotary phones or anything.

    • Spirit Wolf says:

      Only rednecks? What about dumb-ass hip-hop gangsta rap fans who wear their pants down around their knees and insist that being forced to speak proper English is “racist”? Their IQs are MUCH, MUCH lower.

    • Smurf Cat says:

      I saw floppy drives at the used computer store for 6 bucks, so I bought one. I had a ton of old files on floppies that I wanted to transfer.

      Not just rednecks use them :P

    • Carl T says:

      What part of “CLASSIC:” did you fail to notice?

    • Condoulo says:

      hey, floppies are useful for creating boot diskettes for old computers you may happen to be messing around with. :P Or transferring small files from new machines to old machines. Such as well, classic Macs.

      • Spirit Wolf says:

        Yeah, I left all my diskettes behind the last time I moved, because I thought I wouldn’t find a device to read them any more. I’m still kind of kicking myself. Granted, most of that stuff can probably be found on Abandonware sites now, but the MIDI and other small pre-mp3 files, sigh. I used to like to collect that old electronic music for atmospheric purposes while playing tabletop RPGs.

        Ah, the good old days.

    • Sarah Palin says:

      Hey! I still use a computer with a floppy disk drive and I’m not a re…. oh, damn.

  3. Dogbolter says:

    Divorce. Anyone that stupid is going to end up killing you.

  4. Logic says:

    Another reason to stay single :/

  5. Valentin says:

    How to get it out? Easy. Open the door, and kick her ass.

  6. Clinopyroxene says:

    of course type in the pin code and sign the receipt

  7. noosebrother says:

    they still have a pc with a floppy port?

    • Pacifix says:

      In 2009 I upgraded my pc to 2.8 GHz quad-core, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 2DVD drives, and I still have floppy drive in it.
      For long time now I don’t use it, but just dug out some old diskette and tried: it still works. (BTW, it was old DOS-boot one. I must try to make some Ubuntu-boot for Grub2 mbr repair if needed. LOL)

  8. K says:

    Just type in all your account info and send it to everyone you know. That’ll take care of it.

  9. Ruby says:

    That’s right, blame it on your wife…

  10. Zoe says:

    Why did he want to take it out? You can still charge money from that card when shopping on the net.. it’s just safe now.. :D

  11. rr says:

    chage wife!

  12. Shiny says:

    Hilarious.

  13. Thedia says:

    Nice trolling…

  14. Ken says:

    Floppy disk? WTH is that?

  15. Andy says:

    pffttt…..I could have told them-THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE WORKED!-(and you pull out the stuck credit card with 2 tweezers while jacking it up and down real fast)

  16. anew742 says:

    WTH IS A FLOPPY PORT?! DO I EVEN WANT TO KNOW?!

  17. Roy says:

    I know a lady who worked in a computer shop many years ago and she said that this used to be a common occurrence!

    • AngryChinaMan says:

      Why the hell else is “Is it plugged in?” the first question you are asked by tech-support. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS!!!

      • trawl says:

        Nah, they all can’t get rid of their ID10T error. Unfortunately, both Microsoft, Snopes, and Norton all say there is no fix and it’s the most destructive virus ever. Srz bzns

  18. Oflog says:

    How old is his wife? 10 years?

    I mean, until 2000 most computers still had floppy units. Anyone older than 18 years must had used those units when they were the main way to save your files.

    So, either this guy´s wife is an idiot or this guy is a pedo bear.

  19. dude says:

    The real question is why does he have a computer with a floppy drive to begin with?They dont even make computers with floppy drives anymore.Must be one of those old outdated computers.

    • anon says:

      ummm hate to break it to you but you can still buy new computers with floppy drives and ones that don’t have one “standard” you can ask for one to be put in. You can also still buy external USB ones too if you wish. I just dropped 9K on my gaming/work system and it has a floppy drive =)

  20. hamstap85 says:

    Turn the computer off, open it up, take out the floppy drive, take it apart, take your card out, burn the floppy drive parts, and loose the wife.

  21. Expat47 says:

    Urban myth, kiddies… This one’s been around since Commodore days. (That’s pre-PC)

  22. GaTCHa says:

    Why let your wife anywhere near the credit card?

  23. Roy says:

    Apparently another common question that gets asked by newbies is “Where is The Any key? I can’t find it” ( As in hit any key to continue )

  24. Arty says:

    I use floppy disks all the time for boot disks and diagnostics. CDs won’t quite cut it because they are read only (need to be able to change the data on the fly), and annoyingly not all machines can boot from USB flash drives. On the other hand I still have a ZIP drive I haven’t touched in ages.

    And BTW, I don’t know why so many retards out there think there is something horribly wrong with keeping old I/O devices around just in case the need arises to read some old media.

  25. bobodia says:

    This is why women belong in the kitchen

  26. Fred says:

    For those unconvinced A Woman With A Credit Card Is A Disaster In The Offing….

  27. allbop says:

    What surprise me the most is that you still have a floppy..!

  28. Lolerskaterrr says:

    That computer better be in the god damn kitchen.

  29. dearmax says:

    Did she also use the disk drive door as a cup holder? Some people just don’t deserve to use/own technology.

  30. December says:

    Some people should not be allowed to own credit cards. Or live, which ever.

  31. liz says:

    fail for having a floppy port

  32. that is my problem. hi, and is why me belong in the kitchen!

  33. yes, i agree, some women always fell that

  34. sory, i do not think it

  35. sleepy says:

    After reading this, i tried my credit card on my old floppy drive to see if it is possible. I found out that it’s not easy to insert a credit card in the drive. This means that his “wife” forced the card in to the floopy drive. Damn, it requires great effort to be stupid.

  36. Sarge says:

    I don’t know what’s a bigger fail:
    That the wife put a credit card in the floppy drive, or that this guy thinks it’s called a “floppy port.”

  37. Roy says:

    I remember when I first went onto the internet a friend sent me an e card for my birthday with the instructions “click here for your gift” . So ( Like a fool ) I did and my CD drive opened on its own! then a message popped up “I got you a coffee cup holder”. These days I don’t think I would have clicked on anything I was not totally sure about.

  38. bob says:

    Come on, the vast percentage of people on Earth not adapted to computer usage would have tried this too, it’s just that only this one actually has a computer and is unlucky enough to have it get stuck.

  39. william says:

    i still use floppies and there associated drives albeit very occasionally now. only for re-installing windows on old laptops and other computers, and if they dont have CD drives i use a parallel port compact flash card reader and DOS drivers to get files to or from the hard disk. booting from a floppy to make the hard disk bootable and copy the drivers and some good ole text editor tweaking for the config.sys and autoexec.bat batch file then run windows setup off the CF card or copy them to its hard disk

  40. phone system says:

    The only possible way that this could happen is that she is blonde and they are both rednecks. Who still uses a computer with a floppy disk drive, anyway? Only rednecks. That’s right. Enough said.

  41. icipher says:

    how DID he get it out anyway?:P

  42. Lex says:

    Fail 1: see screenshot.
    Fail 2: He’s still got a floppy drive.

  43. ktulu says:

    What a fail!!! Everybody knows you must place it on the CD tray

  44. (sigh) I honestly don’t understand why most of everyone here doesn’t know what a floppy disc drive is, YOU’RE ALL BLONDS, THE LOT O’ YA!

  45. emibee111 says:

    what website is this?????? soo funny!!!

  46. EPIC--FAIL says:

    Ah, yes. The hillbilly ATM attempt. (I know. Not a good joke.)

  47. Woof says:

    hahahahhahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Omg cant stop laughing lol lol….

  48. der says:

    Thats easy, You divorce it before it does something even more stupid like have offspring

  49. Max says:

    Get it out fast! Because the floppy disk charge per hour!

  50. AJokester says:

    You get it out before you come because your wife is not fit to reproduce.

  51. badassmckickass says:

    They still make computers with floppy drives?

  52. Dil says:

    Yeah i actually tried putting one of those mini CD’s into my slot loading CD drive… not my proudest moment.

  53. Meelaes says:

    What you do is, you sneak up behind her with a big rock…

  54. diete rapide says:

    Valuable info. Fortunate me I discovered your web site accidentally, and I’m surprised why this coincidence did not took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
