Today, I got a computer. When I opened it, I found out that my dad had made himself the administrator. He made it so everything shut off after 11 o'clock, and made it so I couldn't download anything without his password. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my dad was sat on my laptop in the living room trying to learn how to do some rewiring around the house when he, and I quote, ”clicked on the thing.” My laptop is now riddled with so many viruses it’s basically a house brick. FML
Today, my mom borrowed my computer without my permission and downloaded a virus. I came home to a blue screen of death. She refuses to admit fault and pay for a new computer. FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML
Today, I got a blue screen of death on my brand new computer. Why? My parents installed an "anti-virus" before I got home. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML
Today, my dad learned how to use the parental controls. I now have an 11 o'clock curfew. I am 17. FML
Today, our work computers are down so I've been trying to fix it via my home computer for 3 days. My 12-year-old son took one look at the screen, changed 2 settings on a drop down menu, and the problem was fixed. My 12-year-old is better at my job than I am. FML
Today, I was having computer problems, so I let my friend have remote access to fix them. We were video-chatting on Skype at the time, and so he thought it'd be hilarious to load hardcore porn in my browser the moment he saw my mom enter the room from behind me. I'm now grounded. FML
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML
Today, I let my mother use my computer for school work. Later that day my mom asks me what's wrong with the computer. I look at it, only seeing a "Welcome to Windows XP" screen. She said that she saw a blue screen and pressed L and C when it asked her to. My mom managed to clear my hard drive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just download tons of horse **** on his computer. When he asks why, tell him that for some reason, you couldn't download anything on yours so you used his instead. :D

My parents used to limit me in a more primitive manner. They'd just pull my internet cord from the router in Dad's office Sunday night, and I'd get it back Friday evening. Until, that is, I entered 8th grade and my school decided to get tech savvy and give us homework that required extensive research. Now, what's easier? Driving your kid to the library almost every day, or just plugging a cord in? I've been free to roam the web and do pretty much as I please for a little over a year and a half now. Thank goodness this is my PC!

boot into safe mode and make him a regular user with all the same rules he put on your computer(even more fun, make yourself an admin on his computer with those rules) when he gets tired of it and throws a fit(and he will) tell him you'll remove your account from his comp when he removes his from your comp. or do like the smart people said and resize the windows partition and use ubuntu on 75% of the drive

I don't think anyone will see this but a lot of you said to be grateful for gifts. He never said it was a gift and how can you be grateful for somehting that you can't fully use (some might say he cant use this at all)

My parents will do that, but by pulling the Internet cable and that too only if i'm on a game or something, never when i'm doing homework. I bought and built my own computer and they know keep their hands off of it. But ya. if your under 18 or 19 get use to it ;) @141-Mac can be password protected and have parental control software installed on them, plus PCs just better
