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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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

Way to let your parents control everything you do. My parents dont go anywhere near my computer or laptop.

A parent that hovers over their kid and is over protective.

Hey, I feel for you. The exact same thing happened to me as well... for a good 6 years! :( It's unavoidable, you just have to learn to work around it... :OR throw a tantrum and try to tell them that it's stupid... :P

Well, what did you do for him not to trust you?

I considered the same question. Unfortunately I can see the answer being "nothing" and that OPs dad is just being excessively controlling.

Like people have already said, you can easily undo that stuff. Being an administrator on a PC doesn't mean shit.

Take advantage of the situation! Constantly annoy him by downloading stuff and requesting his password. Eventually he may just give u the password, or even take off all of the restrictions. Btw, @ the people saying to download a Linux distro, that would work, except he can't download anything without his dad's permission. "hey son, why do u need to download a new operating system?" "uhhhh...". That would go over well.

It's not like you could buy ubuntudisks at a store. Or ask a friend to do it...
