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?

My mom always accuses me of wasting electricity What's even worse is I have a laptop now and she kills the power with the charger plugged in so my computer things it's charging but just runs the battery down instead

How is it your mother's responsibility to save YOUR work? Unless you kept it up on screen, she had no way of knowing you hadn't done so yourself. And who works on something so important that it takes them days to finish it, without saving it in between edits? No, you may not have been expecting your mother to turn the computer off, but any number of things could've happened in the time you were in the shower (power outage, software crash, or computer freeze, to name a few) - which is why they always say to save your shit before walking away. Is she computer illiterate because she turned it off without saving, or just because she usually is in general? If it's for not saving - then seems to me that you're just as computer illiterate, if not more so since you were the one who should've known better than to not save.

fyl for losing all that work. believe me i know how it feels....butttttt ydi for not saving it! i mean i'm only in 11th grade, and the first thing i was ever taught when i started middle school was to save every few minutes. you never know when the computer is just randomly going to shut down or something like that...I had been working on a book report for a while....and i was in the middle of finishing it when the power flickered....needless to say i lost the last part...=/

If you had been working on it for days then you had to have saved it at some point. And you technically were indeed wasting electricity. I think just about everyone has gone through this once and it was enough to learn to never leave your work unsaved. Now, hopefully, you are also smart enough to learn from it. And your mom is only like 10% at fault. The rest is all you.

Who the **** works on something for days without saving. Who. The. ****? I say your mom did the right thing and taught you a lesson. Good for her!

I know this isn't the point, but leaving the computer on isn't wasting electricity. You always leave the fridge on, right? Booting up the computer daily wastes more electricity. I strongly suspect this is fake. Too many holes.
