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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents got me a new computer for my birthday. They also took the liberty of throwing out my old computer, with 8 years of photos, videos, music, documents, emails, and bookmarks on it. But that's okay, I had a backup. They threw that out too. FML
Today, I finally finished typing up a story I had been working on for about 7 months, saved it on my computer and left to hang with friends. Came home later to find my dad had sold my laptop in order to pay his phone bill. My hard work is now gone. FML
Today, it's my birthday. After a day out partying, I came home to find all my stuff smashed in the yard, even my 42" plasma TV. After asking my girlfriend what her problem was, she said a "slut" left a message on the machine stating how fun last night was. It turned out to be my mom. FML
Today, I received my new laptop in the mail and put it on the kitchen counter, where my family charges all our electronics. My mom then decided to make soup and spilt chicken broth all over my new laptop before I even got the chance to turn it on. FML
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 deleted a load of junk that was messing up my mother's computer. I don't know how I'm going to tell her I accidentally wiped out all of her wedding photos. FML
Today, my mom borrowed my computer without my permission and downloaded a virus. I came home to a blue screen of death. She refuses to admit fault and pay for a new computer. FML
Today, I took the motherboard out of my computer so I could put more RAM and a new video card in. While I was in the bathroom my mom threw it all out because it 'looked like garbage'. FML
Today, I took my new laptop into my house from my car, thinking it would be a too much of a target for kids grabbing it. I came home tonight to find my door kicked in, my laptop gone and my TV ripped from the wall. FML
Today, I got a new laptop for Christmas. The picture on the box showed a woman balancing it on one finger to show how light it was, so I tried it myself. I dropped my laptop, breaking the hard drive and putting a massive crack down the screen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yikes. Ask for it back so you can get all the old data from it! I'm sure any reasonable person would oblige

She probably had sold it to buy you this one.

That's why you should back them up! That's never fun though, I hope you can somehow get them back.

Try and find out who she gave it to and see if you can borrow it back to transfer all your stuff! Hopefully she gave it to someone you know not just to charity.

Yikes, this is why I use an external hard drive for my important files. Also protects from losing the files if my laptop dies...

She never considered you might have had at least ONE important saved file after 6 years?

Just find the owner and ask if you can transfer your stuff. I bet they would understand.

Don't you have a backup drive for the old computer?!

I had mine for 5 years and I'm looking to get a new one too. I was planning to sell my old one. I wouldn't have minded if my mom did that, since I do have the important stuff saved on flash drives but I'm sorry that happened to you, OP. :(

Nobody said 'hi-tech' so this joke makes no sense.

#48, the joke makes sense because OP's username is Hi-Tech.

Oh, whoops. I'm blind.

It's crap but why people need to back everything up
