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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You know, this is what's wrong with NA these days. a) "it's not my fault": suck it up princess and take responsibility for yourself b) wasting electricity: millions of people like you around the world burning all that coal and oil, and not giving a damn

I agree with you on a), but don't you think b) is a little hypocritical? You are, after all, using electricity to access FML and post comments. And if this isn't a waste of energy, I don't know what is ;)

Is NA supposed to stand for North America? Because the OP is from Singapore...

touché on part B, I guess this is a waste of electricity as well. So apparently at least this one Singaporean is as spoilt as the average North American

YDI for not having common sense to use the auto save function and if there`s none save it at least once every hours worth of work you`ve done. What would you have done if the power flickered, computer crashed, program crashed, etc.... you`d have had the same problem and no one to try to blame besides yourself. Note I said try to because you should have had sense to save!

you can't blame your mum for that. you're the one that didn't save before you took a shower.

YDI for not saving. "ctrl + s" should be everyone's reflex, who is doing something important on a computer...

Your fault for not saving. You should save really regularly.

This is either false or very deserved..

So... you call your mum a computer illiterate although you don't have enough experience with computers to know that you should save your work? If it's true (don't see how anyone can be that stupid), YDI.
