Today, I took a shower after I finished typing an important essay I've been working on for days. My computer illiterate mum shut the computer down when I was gone, without saving a thing. When I confronted her, she yelled at me for "wasting electricity". FML

you moderated it and you let it through??? As it is a computer, and she didn't save, then that implies she didn't turn it off a single time. If she hadn't turned it off for days, why would her mother turn it off after she had left the room for a few minutes. Why not hours, or days before hand? Also, Autosave would have saved it at least once every 10 minutes. How could she possibly have been typing it for days on end, without a single saved copy. When she boots the computer back up, is it there? No, of course not, as it closes everything when you shut it down. Unless you are completely computer literate, and know how to prevent it doing this, then you have no chance. As she didn't save once, I'm guessing she's plain computer retarded. How can you let such a rubbish FML through the system? Blatent lie. Remember this if you are making a fake FML. People are actually knowledgeable on the subject you may be typing about. Don't type stupid things where people can rip holes in them left, right and centre. Humanity never fails to disappoint me...

I call BS. If you've literally been working for days, and know anything about computers, you would have a saved draft. Plus every word processor program I'm familiar with (even the free ones) autosaves every 5 minutes or so. So IF this is a real story, then you're an idiot for not saving days of work, disabling the default autosave option.

Well, do you have any idea how much electricity computers use? Do you pay the electricity bill? Probably not if you're living with your mom! Next time, just save it and turn it off! You don't need a computer on while you're showering!

Psst, do *you* know how much it costs to keep a computer on? Hint: it's a lot less than a regular television set does. Heck, an Xbox takes about 4 times more power to run than a computer. Try to know facts before you try to act smart. Comuters are VERY energy efficient. Why else do you think a 7200 mAH battery can support a computer for FIVE freaking hours? iron would run through that in about half an hour (just a wild estimation, but you get the idea).
