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?

If she got a blue screen her options would be to stare at the error like a dumbass or reboot the computer. Pressing L and C are not options, nor would they do anything if pressed. Even if that part was truthful and the hard drive was cleared you would not see "Welcome to Windows" anywhere because there would no longer be an OS and the computer wouldn't ******* boot.

So hopefully you learned not to leave the install disc in the cd drive, especially if your computer is set to boot form the disc drive. YDI

YDI for using Windows. Srsly. http://ubuntu.com/ new release is coming this month. Who needs hyped-up crap like OS X or Windows Vista 7 ? Plus, it's really easy to keep updated, doesn't need anti-virus, and has an insane amount of software available.

That's why I have my computer set to NOT boot CDs. Straight to the HDD for me. And you can't change that without my password.

The downside to this is if windows fails, which it does on a regular occasion, you are totally screwed!

Why would you leave your Window's disc in your computer? Your fault.
