Assumptions
Today, my dad once again had to help me with my technological issues. Isn’t it usually the other way around? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

The arrogance of youth
Today, as always, I had to have my dad help me with my computer issues. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? FML

Technologically challenged
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

That would be correct
Today, my dad is infuriating by increasingly asking me to do things around the house, but because he doesn’t like how I do them he yells at me and then does it himself. It’s almost like he cares more about inventing excuses to yell at me than he does to actually get things done. FML

Clueless
Today, after my dad got frustrated at me last month for not having a job and completely taking over my job searching, claiming it’s not that hard and he’d show me how it’s done. Since then, not one company has called or emailed him back and he doesn’t know why. Welcome to job searching in 2024, Dad. FML

Impatience
Today, my dad asked me to help him buy a laptop by searching online. He explicitly said, "When you have time." I decided to shower as I had just woken up. While showering, I was startled by loud banging and my dad angrily asking why I wasn't looking for his laptop. FML

Today, I realized the only reason my phone ever rings is because someone needs help with their computer. FML

Sounds fair enough
Today, my dad came up into my room and told me that as a consequence of breaking my MacBook in anger, he’s punishing me by helping him with yardwork every single hour of the day. FML

Rollercoaster ride of emotions
Today, I went to my dad's workplace because my sister was there and I wanted to see my newborn niece. I was overjoyed until my dad came up to me. It had apparently been pretty hectic for the past week, because he was on the verge of another stress-induced heart attack. Yes, another. We had to help him outside. FML

Bigmouth Strikes Again
Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML

Today, my elderly dad learned how to use Facebook. He now spends most of his time messaging me about his meals, his bowel movements and his foot fungus. He's now learning how to use Skype. FML

No, you ageist bastard! I'm surprised at how few young people know the basics of how tech works and rely on fully-developed apps. Don't underestimate the boomer nerd!🤓

Um... no? I'm always asking my dad for help on computer things I can't figure out because he has 40+ years of experience working on them as an IT/network manager. Obviously he knows more about them than I do.

I’m 30 and my dad has been a software engineer since the 80s. It’s a thing.
