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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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

Ask your computer expert friend to format it and let you be the admin... how old are you?

My dad did the same thing to my family when he bought our new computer. The only difference is that I figured out his password when I was 14 and have been able to access the internet at all times and download whatever I want since then.

That's the strangest thing ever, cause you are a graduate. What if you have to access something for a class in the night. Parents who do this are NOT teaching kids responsibility.

My parents did it too. They forgot their password. FOL.

How old are you? If your father bought you a laptop, it sounds like you're young enough that he is probably well within his rights to restrict your time on it. If you're old enough that this should be unacceptable, buy your own computer and stop whining!

wow....its a little rediculious how not tech savvy everyone is. I mean yeah people know how to use em, but it astonoshing how people know absolutley nothing about the actual computer themselves. No matter what computer it is you can wipe the hard drive, this is call Re-Formating (windows/mac has already been formated on it so thats with the Re is there). Then you just re-install whatever copy of windows was on your computer. The CD usually comes with it, you can also go to the Microsoft/Apple website to get an authorization to download it if you don't have the cd. This usually jsut requires the laptop #/id which they should tell you where it is. Once you have installed a Windows/Mac operating system you simply have to create your own name, make a password, and make it administrator.

That sucks! I wouldn't even want to use the computer if there were restrictions like that on the computer.

Yeah #236, I know that is an option, but don't we have to reinstall all our programs?
