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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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.

Save?

If she's computer illiterate, she probably woudnt have known how I close it properly. In that case your files should have been automatically backed up.

An honest mistake doesn't mean she deserved to have hours of work wasted.

YDI for just leaving it up there without saving anything. And how can you work on essay for days without saving once?

Well you should have saved it when you finished, dumbass.

Agreed With #185 and #183 183 has a point , unless if you kept your computer on for days...

This is a lie. Who works on a paper for days without saving it at least once? It's a basic rule of computers, dude: Shit happens, so save early, save often, and save multiple copies (print out hard copy, save "draft" versions, "new" versions etc.). Oh, and back up your stuff off the hard drive (external hard drive, google docs, MobileMe, whatever). You learned a lesson.

Dude! WTF is your problem!? You should know to save a project you've worked on that long at least once! You can't be that stupid! That's just sad if you didn't bother saving it at least once over a few day period.

That's why (me being very tech savy, a developer, blogger) I don't let ANYONE EVER touch my MacBook if I'm not around. My parents especially.

That's why most people save periodically throughout the writing process...so if something goes wrong, you don't lose everything. YDI.
