Today, I returned home for the first time in a year, and found my entire computer missing. I asked my grandma about this, and she told me that she threw "the TV" away because it "no longer responded to the remote control." FML
I agree, your life sucks (23383) - you totally deserved it (1313)

If she thought it was a TV, then she would have left the CPU, right?

You're referring to the tower... which houses the motherboard containing the CPU.
But who knows how old people think?
It does say "Entire computer missing" So I assume that includes the tower

No, it can't.
It's an inaccurate layman's term.
CPU is Central Processing Unit, however the computer (or tower, base, case, etc.) contains much more than just a single processor.
OP, that really sucks. Hopefully she'll get you a new one.
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
OMG THEN HOW ARE YOU POSTING THIS?!

Wow...I live near this thing called a library...it's pretty freaky in there. They have books that I can, like, read, and these computers that...*whispers* I CAN USE FOR FREE!!
Plus, some people have both desktops and laptops.
Or maybe he works with computers and had spares.
There's any number of possibilities, so stop whining about things that don't make sense in your brain and spend five minutes trying to puzzle it out before you look like an idiot.
"...found my entire computer missing..."
...found one of my computers missing...
>>Sarcasm not detected.
>>ACCESS DENIED.

And, there are these awesome people called friends and this place some people go to each day called...college/school! And there are these nifty things called cell phones, some of which have internet access!!
OMG!!!
Maybe he could have gotten a new one?...or he has a Laptop since the OP was deployed
Its a computer not a heart jeez...

What if it was one of those new iMacs that is all built into the monitor

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my gosh... this made me laugh so hard.
FYL OP. Not everyone can have a tech-savvy grandma......... or one that can tell the difference between a TV and a computer.
But, I wanna know: How are you posting on FML? o_O
Are you using a friend's comp?

Idk whats funnier, the fact she thought your computer was a tv, or that she'd throw the "tv" away just because she'd had to get up to control it.

Toss her in the dumpster, 'cause she no longer works either (only works if she's retired).

wooooowww lmfao... legit. fyl your computer is now on someone elses desk and someone may have profited well from it lol
smashly Ashley, I am not replying to your post, because I can't, I am on my phone... figure it out
PHONE
FML
phone=/=computer... therefore, he could be using his phone

Awwww, that's so sweet! You have your incompetent granny take care of your house for you while you're away. Aww :D
#28 - On 11/12/2009 at 4:02pm by splydoms
Sell your grandma for spare parts and buy a new computer with the money you make.
One kidney could probably get you a nice computer, but both kidneys could get you an awesome gaming rig AND a printer!
You're probably right. The OP is probably going to have to throw in the liver, spleen and pancreas to get that stuff.
If the old bag lived right, maybe she could sell her gall bladder for an iPhone (3Gs, bithces!)
oh man, old people are soooo fucking STUPID. I'm so glad my parents will never be like this because they're not retards.

I've seen senility in old people before, but this is the first time I've read of someone being that damn senile! I wonder if he can trade her for his computer?

Well you couldn't have missed it too much if you haven't touched it in a year. I hope you didn't have any important information on it.
You didn't really need the poor thing if you left it with an old hag for an year. How sad.
YDI for PC cruelty.
Obviously it wasn't that important if you left it there for a year. YDI

FML - People on the internet are not getting my funny. =[
#39 - On 11/12/2009 at 5:08pm by Smashly_Ashly
You kinda deserve it for leaving for a year and just leaving your stuff out like that.
But G'mama needs to be taught a lesson. Wax the floor really well, constantly move the furniture around and talk in widely varying volume and speed.
You mustn't have needed the computer if you hadn't been home in a year... so who cares? FHL for having your shit at her house.

umm maybe they were in the army and just got home from iraq... ever think of that... i doubt the army would let him bring a computer with him to war...
goddamn old people...
when i get old, im gonna hire a guy to kill me so i wont be a retard who just gets in the way like that guy/girl
She thought she didn't have to, because the remote was in a dock.
She couldn't figure out why there would be a new voice message on the remote's dock, though

Gramma's are wonderful that way, I feel bad for you but I had a good laugh
#54 - On 11/12/2009 at 8:39pm by indygirl24
Even you are living with your grandma you shold get your owen private place otherwise more stuff will miss.
I can see how your grandma would mistake a computer for a t.v. if she knows very little about electronics but she had no right to throw anything of yours away without asking you about it first whether it works or not. The ignorance of some people just astound me. FYL OP and I hope you tell her that she owes money for a new "t.v."

I'm sorry that your grandmother did that. Now you know to put your stuff elsewhere, which sucks. If she acts "quirky" in other ways, she'd probably do well to see a competent medical doctor to rule out the first stages of Alzheimer's or dimentia. Caught early, there are a lot of things than can be done now for them. Good luck.
