Today, I took a shower after I finished typing an important essay I've been working on for days. My computer illiterate mum shut the computer down when I was gone, without saving a thing. When I confronted her, she yelled at me for "wasting electricity". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I accidentally left my bedroom light on all day. When I got home, my mum screamed at me for wasting electricity. This is the same woman who leaves the TV on all day while she’s at work, all so our dogs have something to watch and won't be “bored”. FML
Today, my mother told me to take a quick shower. When I got out, she told me I took too long, and now I have to pay the utilities bill. My shower was two minutes long. FML
Today, my mother called me "wasteful" because I left the refrigerator door open and that "electricity money doesn’t grow on trees." This is the same person who lets my little sister have her light on all night, because she’s scared of the dark. FML
Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, I fell in the shower and knocked myself out. When I came to I turned off the water and called my mom. She seemed more worried about the amount of water I "wasted" than she was about me. FML
Today, I returned home to find out that my new and very expensive computer had overheated. I confronted my mom, and she told me that she had covered up the fan because she didn't like the noise. FML
Today, my mum had no legitimate reason to have her daily yell at me, so she resorted to bitching me out for putting her phone on charge after it started beeping with a low battery warning. FML
Today, I am expected to write an 8 page essay, due tonight. The reason why I don't even have one page yet? My mom decided to take away the only computer I have the essay saved on because I have an 'F' in English. The essay is for English. FML
Today, my mom demanded that I go into the basement and fix the water heater. I told her that I had no idea how to fix it, so she threw my phone down the stairs, told me to Google it, and locked the basement door behind me. It's been two hours. FML
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

if it was that important, YDI for not having the common sense to save it.

you moderated it and you let it through??? As it is a computer, and she didn't save, then that implies she didn't turn it off a single time. If she hadn't turned it off for days, why would her mother turn it off after she had left the room for a few minutes. Why not hours, or days before hand? Also, Autosave would have saved it at least once every 10 minutes. How could she possibly have been typing it for days on end, without a single saved copy. When she boots the computer back up, is it there? No, of course not, as it closes everything when you shut it down. Unless you are completely computer literate, and know how to prevent it doing this, then you have no chance. As she didn't save once, I'm guessing she's plain computer retarded. How can you let such a rubbish FML through the system? Blatent lie. Remember this if you are making a fake FML. People are actually knowledgeable on the subject you may be typing about. Don't type stupid things where people can rip holes in them left, right and centre. Humanity never fails to disappoint me...

I call BS. If you've literally been working for days, and know anything about computers, you would have a saved draft. Plus every word processor program I'm familiar with (even the free ones) autosaves every 5 minutes or so. So IF this is a real story, then you're an idiot for not saving days of work, disabling the default autosave option.

Well, do you have any idea how much electricity computers use? Do you pay the electricity bill? Probably not if you're living with your mom! Next time, just save it and turn it off! You don't need a computer on while you're showering!

Psst, do *you* know how much it costs to keep a computer on? Hint: it's a lot less than a regular television set does. Heck, an Xbox takes about 4 times more power to run than a computer. Try to know facts before you try to act smart. Comuters are VERY energy efficient. Why else do you think a 7200 mAH battery can support a computer for FIVE freaking hours? iron would run through that in about half an hour (just a wild estimation, but you get the idea).
