27 Problem Children Ruined Ridiculously Expensive Things

My 18 month old shoved my Surface off a table and it shattered on the floor. You know how cats like to knock things off tables just for the hell of it? Just like that. He looked so damn proud of himself, too.

When I was about 5, I had a fascination with magnets and I had quite a few of them and I played with them a lot. I had heard several times from my parents to not put the magnets by the tv and of course, my 5 year old brain registered that as “Definitely put the magnets by the tv”. So when they were out of the house I put one on the screen and it became discolored, I thought it was cool and dragged it across the tv some. I quickly found out that the color doesn’t come back when you turn the tv on and off. Had to get a new tv and I got in quite a bit of trouble.

I was washing my van one day 3 years ago and my two year old decided to help wash the other side…..with rocks. Scratched right down to the primer.
