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

#90, really? Kids know WAY more about computers today than their parents do (sometimes 12-year-olds included), and if anyone's going to **** up a computer, it's probably the parents. I see it happen all the time, the parent goes to do something on the computer that the kid warns them against, and they get a huge virus, yet the parent still blames the kid. My mom forced me to download Symantec anti-virus and firewall software on my Macbook Pro when I first got it, even though I told her it already had protection included. FORCED as in, she stayed by my side not letting me go anywhere and yelled at me constantly until I did what she wanted, like her typical psychotic, totalitarian self. The downloads cost $110 dollars. I was new to the Apple layout, and later found the proof I needed: the Symantec program statuses in the dock. I made sure to rub it in her face. The arrogance of parents and our society that deems them infallible is probably what you're seeing in your daily job, not child stupidity. Either that or a six-year-old crawling on a computer and clicking on the pretty pop-ups that show up, not a teenager.

1. Get a friend to download the Windows 7 Beta for you on a burnt DVD. 2. Create a new partition big enough to install Win 7 3. Keep the default OS as the auto-loading one, and password protect your "hidden" Win 7 account. 4. ??? 5. Profit!!!

That's pretty sad on your dad's part. That's overly controlling at any age. Why get someone a computer if you're going to be the one controlling it? A family computer makes more sense since it's not for anyone's personal usage. In short, your dad's a nutbar.
