So? I don't see the FML.

His Dad doesn't know shit about technology, and he has an iPhone..

The FML is the dad is technologically challenged and wil be badgering him for help because of it.

Yeah, still not an FML. This is what happens when you're technically inclined. I don't know a single person in IT who doesn't end up doing this for their parents. Some of us actually don't mind, and in fact enjoy it.

Will be badgering HER about it.

I'm not in IT and spend a lot of time explaining things to pretty much everyone around me, and I don't mind at all...

yes it is an FML, it's a pain in the ass having to explain every little thing, even the simplest damn things that they COULD figure out themselves if they would just TRY. that's an fml.

I call bullshit. All apple products are supposedly "user friendly".

@reyo i dont understand how u can call bullshit this is as its very very likely????

That was a joke brah

how is that an fml?

6 months?? sounds a lil farfetched, but ok...

WTF. !!!!!!!! this is Not an FML

you've been helping him with his iPhone for six months but you just found out he got an iPhone?

she was helping her dad with the internet for 6 months then he got iphone. still dont see the fml, i mean, if he dosent get it, write it down or something

...and?

I think OP means it's going to take alot longer than six months to teach their dad how to use an iPhone.

...and? its not much of a FML

It is for some of us. (working at the IT help-desk is a paying job that ends at 5pm, helping you relatives with technology is pretty much a 24/7 deal with questionable benefits.) The trick is to keep a positive mindset, If you're under 18 this would score you might score you some brownie points (yeah, right), if on the other hand you are in college it's a nice shared activity (provided you don't use the classical definition of "nice")

now you can show him how to use his phone!

ur hot

and you live in your mother's basement.

^win

x) hahahh ^^

Lmao :)

hmm, I don't see this as an fml, really. I have an iPhone and it's really user-friendly. I'm on it right now. it won't take long to teach him that.

i have five minutes after i bought it i knew how to use

Your dad caught the technology bug, and thinks an iPhone would be fun to have. He used his money to pay for it (I assume). I wouldn't expect my dad to buy me an iPhone. They're expensive and the monthly plans too aren't cheap.

um big woop call the geek squad!

meh, my dad still thinks DOS is easier to use than a mac...

If you know your way around a text-based OS, it is!

Just because you guys are talking about that I will give you a cookie.

My mom doesn't know anything about computers or the latest electronics, but has no trouble navigating through my iPhone and its apps. Its really simple and you aren't giving your dad much credit for that. Alot of older people don't bother with computers.

The real FML is having an iPhone. Get something that can multitask and isn't crippled with Apple's DRM like an HTC HD2

The Iphone CAN multitask, dipshit.

not really.

Since when can the iPhone multitask?

since jailbreaking came arround.

Yes, the iPhone can multitask. I am running the FML app, Facebook, Mail, Beejive IM, and Safari, all at the same time. It can multitask.

Have fun if it ever breaks and you send it to apple and they keep it / don't fix it cuz it's jailbroken!

lmao this sucks
