Today, I was showing my Mom how to use the Internet on her phone. As there was bad reception, it said "Unexpected Failure." Seeing it, she muttered under her breath, "Just like you, then..." FML

Today, the Internet wasn't working. One girl decided to try to diagnose the problem. It said to connect the Ethernet cable. She started making fun of the computer for spelling "Internet" wrong. I'm graduating with this idiot in less than a month. FML
Today, my mom finally learned how to text. Now it's her way of communicating, even when we're in the same room. FML
Today, I was texting my mother after my boyfriend broke off our relationship. She offered incredibly supportive replies such as "No, really?" and "Aww, that sucks." before apparently getting bored and claiming she had to go because her "text reception" was breaking up. FML
Today, my aged mother continued to complain about her computer issues to me. A relative, who is good at tech support, won't bother servicing her computer because whatever she does ends up bogging it down the next day, so I have to hear about it on the phone. FML
Today, I finally taught my mom how to text message people. Now I get a message from her every 30 seconds saying "Hi". FML
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML
Today, my mom learned how to use the text messaging on her smartphone. I've received 37 already, and she calls after every single one to make sure I understood her. FML
Today, while working at a cell phone store, I helped an older woman learn how to use her newly updated phone. After trying to help her for over 20 minutes, she threatened to throw her phone at my head. FML
Today, my mom has been calling me every ten minutes, asking me questions about her new computer. She called me at work, and I rudely answered her question. She called back, talked to my boss, saying she was a customer that called in, and I was rude to her. FML
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML

aaand that is where you make an excuse, walk away and just let her deal with it on her own. Then, if you live at home you quietly get on with your shit until you can move out and if you already live on your own you go home and just don't call her for a while. Parents who say shit like that can end up de-motivating a kid to the point that they make them fail.

Sounds like your mom is frustrated because she doesn't know how to do all this herself. Sorry, at least you know how to DO the internet on her phone. I think you should have let her struggle with it a while.

So then take her phone from her. Turn it sideways, shine it up real nice. Make sure it is shiny because this doesn't work without shininess. Then for the big part. It's all shined up and turned sideways, so then proceed to stick it up her candy ass!!!!!

Ignore her. The only person who can make you feel like a failure is you. Or KaySL. Or Ignorance. Or even FFML_314. Or...

Am I the only one that thinks the mom might be talking to her phone? Just throwing stuff out there. I know when I get frustrated with something, I sometimes insult it because it calms my nerves somehow. Many people do this.

That's what I thought, too. Glad it's not just me. I curse my electronics regularly. If she was expecting her new phone to be amazing, "unexpected failure" seems apt in the circumstance.

I thought the same.

And to think she has put up with you for so long. What love. But yeah, I talk to in-animate objects all the time. Oh, I bet 99% of people who read this probably doesn't know i'm talking about the phone.
