Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents got me a new computer for my birthday. They also took the liberty of throwing out my old computer, with 8 years of photos, videos, music, documents, emails, and bookmarks on it. But that's okay, I had a backup. They threw that out too. FML
Today, I finally finished typing up a story I had been working on for about 7 months, saved it on my computer and left to hang with friends. Came home later to find my dad had sold my laptop in order to pay his phone bill. My hard work is now gone. FML
Today, it's my birthday. After a day out partying, I came home to find all my stuff smashed in the yard, even my 42" plasma TV. After asking my girlfriend what her problem was, she said a "slut" left a message on the machine stating how fun last night was. It turned out to be my mom. FML
Today, I received my new laptop in the mail and put it on the kitchen counter, where my family charges all our electronics. My mom then decided to make soup and spilt chicken broth all over my new laptop before I even got the chance to turn it on. FML
Today, using the money my mom gave me for my birthday, I bought a new laptop for school. When I went online to register for classes, I found that all the online classes were full and remaining classes didn't qualify for my major. FML
Today, I deleted a load of junk that was messing up my mother's computer. I don't know how I'm going to tell her I accidentally wiped out all of her wedding photos. 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 took the motherboard out of my computer so I could put more RAM and a new video card in. While I was in the bathroom my mom threw it all out because it 'looked like garbage'. FML
Today, I took my new laptop into my house from my car, thinking it would be a too much of a target for kids grabbing it. I came home tonight to find my door kicked in, my laptop gone and my TV ripped from the wall. FML
Today, I got a new laptop for Christmas. The picture on the box showed a woman balancing it on one finger to show how light it was, so I tried it myself. I dropped my laptop, breaking the hard drive and putting a massive crack down the screen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yikes. Ask for it back so you can get all the old data from it! I'm sure any reasonable person would oblige

She probably had sold it to buy you this one.

WHY DO MOMS DO THIS SHIT?! It's almost as bad as OP's girlfriend selling off all his N64 and Atari consoles and games to buy him a PS4. Almost.

And this is why we do regular backups so we never lose any data ...

Well... you kind of deserve it for not telling anyone about everything that was on it. Hindsight I suppose...

So OP was supposed to assume that her mom would sell the laptop without her permission? If someone has had a laptop for six years (or for any amount of time come to think of it), you shouldn't need to be told that there could be important stuff on there.

So if I stole your furniture and sold it, it would be your fault for not telling everyone that it was important to you?

Thank goodness my mum never sells my stuff. If, for instance, I get a new iPad, I usually I just pass it down to my mum. When I got my new smart 50" sexy beast of a TV... I just moved my old flatscreen into the guest room. We don't usually sell stuff to buy new stuff. Except that one time I sold my old iPod touch 4 to get a PS4 game.

I know that feel OP... My mom gave away my DS along with the games I played the most behind my back. Sorry about your laptop.

This is why I have trust issues with surprises.

This is why you should regularly back up your documents, music, pictures, etc...it's really not that complicated people. You could have saved it all...
