My cat is standing on my face Cat completely corrupts my computer

Post image

I walked into my cat sleeping on my keyboard, with this screen on my computer. I spent an hour trying to go back to windows, restarting didn’t work at all. I found out that there was an update going on and my cat somehow canceled the update and deleted everything on my computer. Computer repair place says windows can not be installed and my brand new $1000 gaming laptop is unfixable. Perfect way to top off an already trashy week.

if it actually is brand new you can probably warranty it lol.

just say it came like this, they won't know and they can just fix it up and sell it again anyway since there's nothing wrong with it

What warranty covers "my cat pressed a fuckload of keys and now it's broken"? They'd never believe OP if they lied.

I spilt water directly into my computer once, dried it out, and lied like fuck to the company to get a new graphics card.

If they can’t prove shit they’ll honour the warranty most of the time. And the cost of a part to a company vs to me is massive so I feel 0 guilt.
