Today, I was wondering why the new book series I'd ordered hadn’t arrived. I ordered new books because my mom constantly bitched at me about being on the internet too often. She took my laptop away to "teach me a lesson". Only I need my laptop to get the confirmation number to track my books. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, using the money my mom gave me for my birthday, I bought a new laptop for school. When I went online to register for classes, I found that all the online classes were full and remaining classes didn't qualify for my major. FML
Today, I checked my mom's email to track a package I'm waiting to receive. Instead, I found out my mom canceled the order, and that my parents are getting a divorce and have been fighting via email for weeks. FML
Today, my mum took away my laptop and my phone and won't let me call, text, or go out with friends for one month. Why? I left the toilet seat up. I'm writing this from a public library. FML
Today, I got home from a hard day and sent a project due tomorrow from my laptop. While I was in the bathroom, my parents took my laptop, which is all paid by me for no reason. I tried telling them multiple times that I have 3 projects due this week, but they said that's not a reason to stay on my laptop. FML
Today, like every day for the past two years, my aged mother has sat complaining all day loudly about relatives who call too little or too much, about another package being a few days late, or her laptop and TV not working properly. All while I'm trying to quietly work from home. I'm about ready to jump off a bridge. FML
Today, my dad's new girlfriend's daughter came over with them. She had a tantrum because my brand new computer, which I worked and saved for, was better than her notebook, which was bought for her. So what did she do? Oh, she threw it off my desk. For some reason I'm being yelled at. FML
Today, I was sitting in math class taking notes on my laptop when my mom texted me, asking why I wasn’t in class. She has my location for security purposes. I’m 19 and in college. FML
Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I could borrow $20 since I don’t get paid until Friday. She responded with, “Why don’t you return those packages that arrived this week from your online shopping sprees?” FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, you got on FML, so... go track your books.

I mean, technically you don't need to compulsively track your packages, unless it's way late.

I see that she's taught you at least two lessons. 1) Don't let mom take your laptop. 2) Get a smartphone. Class dismissed.

Even my flip-phone in HS 15 years ago could show webpages!

But you'd look like a has-been from the 20-aught's. Who wants that?

Well if he wants his books before posting to FML... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're using some electronic device to post on FML, so...is there a reason you can't use that device to track your books?

Sign in on whatever device you posted the FML from and track the books. You don't NEED the laptop to get the books. Unless it's super late, you don't even need to track it. You could just wait for it or sign in on your other device. If it can access FML, it can access the website that you bought your books from... and wherever your confirmation number was sent.

It sounds like a solid choice for her to take it away. Especially because you’re making up unnecessary reasons why you ‘need’ it. Learn to live without constantly being on one form of electronic device or another.
