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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

1. Annoying mother 2. You always save as you go. No telling when there's going to be a power interrupt that would make your computer go off, which would be the same as your mother turning off the computer. I save after every few sentences when writing something, because that's happened to me in the past. 3. Who finishes something like that and then doesn't save it, but rather goes somewhere else while there are other people in the house? You don't take a shower when your mother might mess with your computer like that... sheesh

That sucks but if you were working on it for days the whole thing at least didn't erase (assuming you saved your previous work from days before).

You deserve this because you didn't actually save it at any point in time. You finished it, and then you let it sit there. You're an idiot. You always save your work multiple times. I hope you learned your lesson. It really sucks ass, but you were pretty much asking for it if you didn't save your work.

I think *you* are the computer illiterate one, if you didn't save it before your shower -- and repeatedly while working on it.

YDI for not saving an essay! you should be doing that like every few minutes.

How could you NOT save your work every few minutes, if it's that important? I agree with everyone saying YOU'RE the computer illiterate one. Get used to hitting control-S after every few sentences of any essay you ever write. L2save.
