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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother took my brand new PS4, which I haven't even played yet, and threw it out the window while I was at work. When I asked her why, she said she was mad that we didn't have any paper towels left. FML
Today, my mom told me to take out the trash. I thought it would be a good idea to Hulk-smash it into the can. I missed. The bag ripped and garbage flew everywhere. 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 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 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, my parents dropped by my new house, and my mother offered to tidy up for me while I was out. After they left, I noticed that her "tidying up" included throwing out all the pictures of my girlfriend and replacing them with pictures of herself. FML
Today, my 81-year-old mother threw out the packaging for a 3-day-old $1,700 monitor I was going to return due to a defect. I live in my own home, but she randomly visits to "clean up" without asking me. Now I'm stuck with an expensive, defective monitor. FML
Today, I returned home to find out that my new and very expensive computer had overheated. I confronted my mom, and she told me that she had covered up the fan because she didn't like the noise. FML
Today, my mum is convinced I'm a hoarder. While I was out of the house, she went through my room and threw out stuff I "don't need." This included $500 worth of textbooks, a flash drive with crucial work on it, and my phone charger. FML
Today, my sister gave my laptop away and dumped a pile of her hamster's turds on my bed. All of this because I flushed the toilet while she was in the shower last night. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should slap your motherboard in her faceboard.

I think I'm with everyone else in that you shouldn't need to take out your motherboard unless you are replacing the motherboard. Next time google the instructions or something so you won't waste time doing needless shit.

This is why my mum doesn't touch my stuff. So many times have I left components on my bed and left the room. And to those wondering why they were replacing their motherboard, they probably had an old one or it was bugging up when the pc was running, causing it to crash. Its why I need a new motherboard, as well as some more RAM and a new processor too, as mine is puny and does nothing. Also, another reason could be that they didn't have enough space on their old motherboard for the new RAM or the video card was too big for the motherboard, therefore requiring a new motherboard if you want an awesome video card.

It never says anything about replacing a motherboard in this FML. It says they took it out to add RAM and a new video card.

As a computer technician, I am thoroughly bothered by this post for a number of reasons.

I'm so glad I no longer live with people who randomly throw out shit that isn't theirs.

Did you flip the hard-drive over, so you could use the other side, while you were in there?
