He doesn't have to worry about power because he paid the electric bill. OP is obviously not understanding how the whole power grid thing works..... (Must.... Resist..... Eye roll....)

Sounds like it might never have been on.

Unless they have a device with 3G?

And if the power was on, it seems like he's a really low power bulb...

36- He's a few watts short of 40 you could say.

Not really, maybe he had a fully charged laptop?

And an Internet connection that doesn't require a modem that needs electricity? There are options like satellite Internet or 4G and such, but the fact that it's an FML invites the assumption they do not

Actually you can watch Netflix during a power outage! Or if it's nice enough, go outside. Both kill time pretty fast.

But that's the thing, if they have a mobile device (phone/tablet, etc) he could still watch Netflix. Just sayin... :)

Or a laptop or an iPad.

His point is valid if you have an iPhone or laptop with enough battery to watch something...it just won't last very long.

No power... no internet. Data only.

Maybe the power is out at the cell towers to?

Too*

The laptop could have an air card that subscribes to data. So 27 can still be right

#33 i have movies that i bought on itunes and i watch them when the power goes out

#46 Give him a break, your weigh to up tight abot gramar!

OP said no TV. Him referring to Netflix seems to suggest that it's streamed to or through the television. He was probably thinking that the cable (provider) was down and not the power.

66 But the dumbass (OP's bf) is talking about netflix. I don't care about your itunes movies.

Perhaps, but maybe not. If that were possible the Original Poster would not post this FML and they'd get on just fine..

Sometimes the lack of a full sorry can create an FML. Like my man left me for my best friend. Back story: she cheated on her man with said best friends man. In their grief over the cheating (now) Exs breakups, found romance. You never know. That's the fun of YDI or your life sucks.

Same. My FML would've probably gone through had I had more room. Let alone this one FML where the girl bumped into her ex's parents while holding sex objects. I felt sympathy until in the comments she admitted she left him for his best friend. Which made me lose all sympathy and know that is a big no-no. You should never dump someone for their best friend and the best friend shouldn't try to get their greedy mitts on you.

Unless the tablet or smartphone has 4G, then no he could not. Without power, the Wi-Fi router would be out. Without Wi-Fi, he could not go on the internet, which is required for Netflix. Unless he has 4G.

I can watch Netflix with 3G just fine.

Well then 3G works as well. I probably should have just referred to "G".

I'm hoping he's not millennial

Lol I'd imagine him asking her to turn on the internet..

No...Netflix .....head....can't stand it...POP

You my good sir, are a genius.

You still need electricity for Apple tv. Without power you won't be able to run the tv that Apple tv requires to display an image.

I think you may have gone full retard on that comment. NEVER go full retard indeed.

What i meant was it would wrk if u hav tablets and phones... But not if they had an apple tv... Srry for the confusion

Why do people type without vowels?

Because you can still make out the word phonetically without vowels.. It's actually a common practice in call centers to save space and time for notes after customer interactions.

Yeah.. I am sorry i was in a rush. I dont normally do that.

Shallow much? Damn!

"Much" is an understatement.

It's a shallow world.

Computers also require the power to be working.

Uh, ever heard of laptops? They run on things called batteries.

Everyone calm down. We are malfunctioning in this thread as much as Original Poster's boyfriend would if he tried turning on the Netflix.

25- but we have Netflix!!

22- Batteries won't really matter when you still need a connection to the internet which requires electricity..

You need power for Internet connection..

Tether. Need I say more?

Thank you! Finally someone gets it! Not being sarcastic, people.
