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

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

Two things that aren't the same

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

if it was that important, YDI for not having the common sense to save it.

Wow YDI. I save any paper periodically. It's not that hard.

If you know you mom is "computer illiterate" then why would you leave the computer alone, free to be used by anyone?

Why didn't YOU save it? Why expect your mom to do it? YDI.

I still don't think that was fair. If your mother saw the esay on the computer, she should have at least checked to save it. It's just good-mom-nature. But still, yeah, you should have saved it.

While its okay to be pissed at your mom for shutting down the computer, especially considering it really doesn't save much energy if it was only off while you were in the shower... but still. Save your stuff. You really should know better.

it doesn't qualify as an FML if you're not smart enough to hit control + s, over the course of "days", once. your mom may be illiterate, but you're an idiot.

Who writes a whole paper then leaves in unattended and unsaved? That's stupid.

Even if you really don't have anything saved, you should still remember most of the essay and the main points of it. From there, you can expand on those and you should start to remember the finer details. I mean, you were working on this for DAYS, right? If that's true, then most of the essay should be burned into your mind, since you've been thinking about it for so long.
