Today, I took the motherboard out of my computer so I could put more RAM and a new video card in. While I was in the bathroom my mom threw it all out because it 'looked like garbage'. FML

Today, my mother took my brand new PS4, which I haven't even played yet, and threw it out the window while I was at work. When I asked her why, she said she was mad that we didn't have any paper towels left. FML

Today, my mom told me to take out the trash. I thought it would be a good idea to Hulk-smash it into the can. I missed. The bag ripped and garbage flew everywhere. FML

Today, I deleted a load of junk that was messing up my mother's computer. I don't know how I'm going to tell her I accidentally wiped out all of her wedding photos. FML

Today, my parents got me a new computer for my birthday. They also took the liberty of throwing out my old computer, with 8 years of photos, videos, music, documents, emails, and bookmarks on it. But that's okay, I had a backup. They threw that out too. FML

Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML

Today, my parents dropped by my new house, and my mother offered to tidy up for me while I was out. After they left, I noticed that her "tidying up" included throwing out all the pictures of my girlfriend and replacing them with pictures of herself. FML

Today, my 81-year-old mother threw out the packaging for a 3-day-old $1,700 monitor I was going to return due to a defect. I live in my own home, but she randomly visits to "clean up" without asking me. Now I'm stuck with an expensive, defective monitor. FML

Today, I returned home to find out that my new and very expensive computer had overheated. I confronted my mom, and she told me that she had covered up the fan because she didn't like the noise. FML

Today, my mum is convinced I'm a hoarder. While I was out of the house, she went through my room and threw out stuff I "don't need." This included $500 worth of textbooks, a flash drive with crucial work on it, and my phone charger. FML

Today, my sister gave my laptop away and dumped a pile of her hamster's turds on my bed. All of this because I flushed the toilet while she was in the shower last night. FML

You should slap your motherboard in her faceboard.

To be honest, YDI. Why take the motherboard out of the computer? You can take out ram and a video card out of a computer without taking out a motherboard. A CPU is a different story...

Unless you had a good reason to pull the board out, you deserved it. The only time I've ever had to remove a board from a computer to install a graphics card was in a really small case, and even then, I only removed it so that I could do 2 things: remove the punched-metal knockouts covering the card slots and clean the dust out from the main heatsink and fan. Since then, I've gone to a much bigger, much nicer case, and in the process, learned a ton more.

That's why I told my mom to leave those things alone if she sees them laying around.

jeez i hoped you inherited your iq from your father, also putting in new ram and vidcard doesnt require taking out your motherboard. must be a strange model of pc then i guess :-)

While I agree with all the other comments on the whole... let me give you some totally solid advice..... NEVER EVERY AGAIN leave anything technological within your mother's reach EVER. It is very obvious that she is duller than the butter knives in her kitchen.
