Hello, kiddies… welcome to the Crypt of Laptop Horror Stories (TM). You have until next Monday, 12pm EST, to send me your worst laptop horror stories — how your laptop fell into a toilet, how your Gateway exploded on your granny’s lap — and you could win one of three beautiful prizes.
Email your stories (200 words max) to contest @ crunchgear dot com with the subject line “HORROR.” We’ll post entries over the week and vote on the best three out of all the entries on Monday afternoon. Please note in your email which prize you’d prefer so I can ensure we get a good representation.
Good luck.

The light was out and I was on the laptop typing away. It was 11:00 at night and my parents were out, I was alone in the huse. All of a sudden I heard the wooden floor boards creak. And thats when I knew I was not alone in the house. I saw out of the corner of my eye a flash of light in the darkness and I looked up from my laptop. I quietly got out of bed to turn on the lights, but there was a problem……….the electricity just went out. I started to shiver. It was to scary in my room, since its in the basement, so I went to hide in the upstairs restroom. Then the door shot open, I screamed and threw my laptop in the air, it landed in the toilet. There my dad stood in the door way. Phhhhhuuu!

It was after dinner and I was playing my grannys’ laptop. Something all of a sudden started to malfungtion. And the laptop started to rumble and everyone ran outside. I looked over and saw that my granny was still in the house. All of a sudden it was calm. We ran into the house and saw my Gateway had exploded on her lap. Ahhhhhh gessssssssss!

I was out shopping and buying alot of items that added up roughly to about 15 shopping bags. Well I had just bought a brand new laptop and I put that bag/box on the top of the car, while I was loading the other bags in the car. Well it was a very bad day for me to begin with and ended up to be a very sad day for me. I drove off with the laptop on my car and unfortunately I didn’t realize that I left it on the roof until I got home. I went back to retrack my route and the laptop and receipt were no where to be found. I am sure someone pulled over and grabbed it. I was soo upset, that I just spent $1400.00 and no laptop. I am still not over it. :(

As a spy I always have enemies. Ones that I know and ones that I don’t know. When I saw a ad in my mail box about a laptop give away I was suspicious but I entered it anyway. I get a call 4 weeks later saying I won a new HP laptop so im happy. When the laptop arrived I tore open the box and turned on the laptop. But when I turned it the screen turned red. Then it said. SELF DESTRUCT IN 5…4..3..2..1 BOOM!I run out just in time. Crap………..
