Today, I let my mother use my computer for school work. Later that day my mom asks me what's wrong with the computer. I look at it, only seeing a "Welcome to Windows XP" screen. She said that she saw a blue screen and pressed L and C when it asked her to. My mom managed to clear my hard drive. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 got a blue screen of death on my brand new computer. Why? My parents installed an "anti-virus" before I got home. 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 thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML
Today, my 7 year old daughter decided to use my laptop without my permission. She accidentally got SpaghettiOs on the screen, then used the hard side of a sponge, filled with soapy water, to scrub both the keyboard and screen of my laptop to clean it off so Mommy wouldn't know. FML
Today, our work computers are down so I've been trying to fix it via my home computer for 3 days. My 12-year-old son took one look at the screen, changed 2 settings on a drop down menu, and the problem was fixed. My 12-year-old is better at my job than I am. FML
Today, I had to use my mum's laptop so she told me the password was just my sister's name. I hit a wrong key and misspelled it, so the incorrect password prompt came on screen. The prompt was: "Favourite child?" FML
Today, I got a computer. When I opened it, I found out that my dad had made himself the administrator. He made it so everything shut off after 11 o'clock, and made it so I couldn't download anything without his password. FML
Today, my computer stopped working. Me, the technology challenged one, decided to do a system recovery on it hoping that I could make it better. Turns out, system recovery means deleting all the files off the computer including family photos, music and assignments and starting fresh. FML
Today, while trying to fix a corrupted USB hard drive with my wife’s computer I accidentally wiped her laptop drive instead of clearing the external drive. I’m not allowed on her computers anymore. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Dude, that really sucks. This is exactly why I don't let anyone else use my laptop unless I am watching them use it the whole time.

If this is true, your mother must be incredibly stupid and unable to read. You said she was doing it for "school work" - does that mean she's at university, or she's a teacher? I realise there are teachers out there who aren't the most technologically gifted, but they generally know how to read instructions (like in dialogue boxes).

She did not clean your hard drive by hitting L and C - nice try!I have A+ , Network+ and and Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator designations and it takes a bit more than L and C to clean your hard drive. Even if the insatllation CD was in, what you are saying makes no sense!

MSCA is to system administration as McDonalds Certified Chef is to fine cuisine.

Really?! I was hoping that your mom somehow selected the recovery option most pre-built PCs come with, which generally makes your computer like it was when you bought it.

It's true! The stereotype of moms and computers are real!

I think your mom and my mom might be the same person.
