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

Maybe you should respect the fact that your father cares enough about you to want you to get enough sleep at night so you're not frying your brain on the computer until 3 AM and doesn't want you downloading potentially dangerous programs on your computer. Sounds like a pretty good dad to me. I hated the strict things my parents did growing up, but now I thank them for it.

#62 if their dad is using a program to block downloads and turn of everything, those programs can be hard to even find on the computer in the first place

Maybe you should be grateful that your dad cares about you. Just a thought.

My brother-in-law did the same thing. I ended up going away to a summer college program where I could not connect to the internet because I had no control over my internet settings. My friend fixed it for me and I subsequently deleted the other account. Some people are just ridiculous jerks and there's no getting around that.

I would make his life miserable until he put it back to normal. No one messes with my stuff because they know better :]

Yes, that is a good way to prove that he is responsible and mature enough to be trusted unsupervised on the computer.

If you are 18, either buy your own things or be grateful for what gifts you get. (and then make the necessary adjustments to those gifts :p ) If you are under 18, see audiogasmic's advice.
