Today, I spent 20 minutes arguing with the class dipshit, trying to convince her that wifi hot-spots are not in fact saunas powered by wifi. FML

Today, at work, I had to explain to a customer that she can't connect her tablet to her home WiFi while she's at work. I went to MIT for this. FML

Today, I was at the library doing research for my midterm. All of the computers were in use, so I decided to use my laptop instead. Ten minutes later, I was confronted and kicked out. My offense? Unauthorized use of the library's so-called "Free Public WiFi". FML

Today, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML

Today, I had to explain to my boss that using a wired connection instead of wifi won't stop his computer from getting viruses. He looked at me, open-mouthed and wide-eyed, like he was a 13-year-old boy and I was a pair of tits. Then he called me clueless and told me to get back to work. FML

Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML

Today, during class, a girl had suggested how I, a 16 year-old guy, would be a high maintenance girlfriend. We sat and debated this, allowing for other people to listen in and agree with her, and eventually the entire class agreed with her. Even the teacher. FML

Today, at college, I was frantically trying to finish an essay on gay rights that was due less than an hour later. In the end I failed, because the college internet filters kept classifying every single page containing the information I needed as "sex", and blocked it all. FML

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Sorry for the YDI, but if you are knowingly arguing with the class Dipshit, you get what you deserve

Sounds like she was definitely trolling OP. Doesn't make her less of an asshole if she was, but yeah...some people argue about dumb shit just for fun to see how long they can keep up the argument. You got trolled, OP.

technically they actually heat up their surroundings.. but you would need a loooooot of hotspots to power even the light in the sauna (half a thousand more or less)

Do you mean hot spots on the earth? because this woman actually believed the saunas ran on WiFi??? how in the. .? ? ughh! a hot spot (or sauna) powering WiFi..now that seems more reasonable.. but I'd highly doubt anyone would waste the time and effort to power something in that manner.

each wifi hotspot transmits with 100 mW (legal limit Germany). say you'd be able to transmit everything they emit straight into a bulb without any transmission losses, you'd need 500 of them for a 50 W light bulb
