Today, I discovered that there is nothing wrong with our snowblower. I live in Alaska and for the last 10 years I have been shoveling our long steep driveway because I thought the snowblower was broken. Reality? My mother has "never been able to get it out of the shed." FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

dazean Say more :

In response to why didn't you buy/check/fix it yourself? Answer: I was saving for college, and know nothing about engines. I remembered that it had been broken before, and assumed she didn't have the money to have it fixed- as we were broke most of the time and could barely afford basic necessities.

That's when you know it's time to move to California and relish the snow free living. If you weren't in shape 10 years ago all that shoveling should have done the job so you're... WINNING

Op could've bought a new one, or a used one off Craigslist. Before all you people start screaming "They're expensive," us Alaskans get money every year basically RIGHT before the snow falls or a week after. He very well could've got another one.

kristat | 14

#3591694 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 02:41

To the people who say "ydi just buy one", if op is still living at home he may have just finally got a job and mentioned buying one, and that's when he found out it was actually functional.

Lawl

Socalledproblem | 5

#3591012 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 12:21

What does "lawl" mean?

HideouslyHuman | 10

#3591066 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 12:27

It's the pronunciation of "LOL"!!! Yea I don't know why they don't just type lol it is shorter...

Daler92 | 5

#3591071 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 12:28

Obviously, it's a different way of spelling the shorthand "lol". Incorrect, but that's intended.

HideouslyHuman | 10

#3591105 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 12:32

Close enough...

HideouslyHuman | 10

#3591110 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 12:31

No it's just the pronunciation. If you were to say "lol" aloud it would sound like LAWL. Despite the fact most people recognize it as an acronym and either steer clear of using it in real life,or say l-o-l.

yetanotherginger | 19

#3591346 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 01:14

#48 I know people who say 'lol' occasionally in real life, and NONE of them sound like they're saying lawl

Fruit_Dealer | 9

#3591459 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 01:41

Let's all rejoice on the fact that it wasn't spelled 'Lo0l'. Or else I'm going to start throwing pumkins and trust me, I have a lot of them.

Fruit_Dealer | 9

#3591448 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 01:38

It's just a theory, but perhaps OP was a kid or at least young, therefore trusting his mom almost blindly. Again, that's only a theory.

If you thought it was broken for 10 years, didn't it ever occur to you to try and buy a new one? Or demand that your mother buy a new one? I mean come on. It's been 10 years. Seriously.

XTheDesertSongX | 17

#3591536 - Wednesday 16 November 2011 01:58

She isn't necessarily saying that. The fact of the matter is, why wouldn't OP ask about getting a new one, (which you can save up for in ten years) or ask if it's broken. The OP /thought/ it was broken. He could have just asked if it was.
