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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

Not buying this. First off, you were working on it for days and didn't save it once. Secondly, your parent hadn't have turned it off when it was on for those days, what are the chances she turned it off as soon as you were done? Yeah, I don't buy this for a second.

default autosave is 5 mins, so unless you wrote your essay AND took a shower in under 5 mins (which would make it a crap essay anyway and easy as hell to recreate), this FML is total crap. Oh, and if you've turned off autosave, you're an idiot.

set up auto save and honestly, it just takes two button presses to save something. ydi, but I do feel ya- my mom or dad or grandparents would do the same.

Your mom definitely should have saved before shutting the computer down with an essay up on the screen. However, if you had been intelligent enough to save on your own before leaving the computer to shower, it wouldn't have been an issue. Your mom's the catalyst only by chance. It could have been a power outage, or your computer just freezing, or any number of things, and saving on a regular basis is just part of what you do to protect your work.

YDI for not saving your work. You're always supposed to save your work as you go along in case something happens, like if someone shuts it down, there's a computer error, whatever. It's something I was always taught in school, and it's just common sense. Don't know what they teach in Singapore though.
