Today, I was told that, although I was sick on the last day before break, they would still accept the 24 page essay that I had written. Tonight, as I went to print it out, I found that my dad had "cleaned up a bit" on my computer, including the documents from last semester. I have school tomorrow. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I am expected to write an 8 page essay, due tonight. The reason why I don't even have one page yet? My mom decided to take away the only computer I have the essay saved on because I have an 'F' in English. The essay is for English. FML
Today, I woke up knowing I'd done all my homework, so I'd have the day free. My dad calls me into his room to tell me that I have 3 outstanding exam papers to hand in this week. It was summer homework, set by my school's online learning website that I didn’t know it existed. FML
Today, whilst cleaning out his desk, my dad "accidentally" threw away my summer homework. That's 100 pages, over a duration of 2 months. School starts in 3 days. FML
Today, my teacher told me that she couldn't find my hand-written essay on the Renaissance, and that I have to re-do it all by tomorrow. I later saw my essay on her desk, covered in a massive coffee stain that made virtually everything unreadable. FML
Today, I broke my dominant hand. My teacher insists we hand-write our essays. I called and asked if it was okay for me to type up the essays. She said no. I have two essays due tomorrow, which count for half my grade. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish an essay. I submitted it one minute before the deadline. Later, I opened the file to double-check and realized I'd uploaded my rough draft, containing notes like “THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, FIX LATER.” The professor then replied, “I agree with your assessments.” FML
Today, after finishing a huge French essay, I realized my printer wasn't working. So, I emailed it to a guy in my class to print and then give to me. When I get to French, he said he had already turned his in early and never got my email. It turned out he used mine. I got an F on the essay. FML
Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What's with parents messing with their kids stuff? What happened to respect for other people's things?

I wish I could vote "you deserved it" on these types 100 times. Back up your files!!! Back up your files!! I work in a computer store and we make tons of money on data recovery because people are too lazy to back up. It's so easy to do and it saves money and headache when something goes wrong down the road. If you don't want to lose something, keep it in two locations!!!

You might be able to retrieve the file still. Checkout NTFS undelete: http://ntfsundelete.com/ Before you have restored the file keep disk writes to a minimum. Do not defragment the hard drive and do not create any new files or modify existing ones. If you can install NTFS undelete on to a different drive than the document file then by all means do so.

First off, I'm sure that the parents bought the computer. 2nd I'm sure that they pay the electricity and the mortgage. 3rd learn to back up your stuff, you FAIL.

I'm so glad we didn't have a computer at home when I was at school (my parents are a bit slow on the whole technology thing) - I could totally see my mum doing something like this.

Dude, you deserve this SO MUCH -- not for forgetting to back up your files or anything but because you waited for all of break to hand in a 24 PAGE PAPER just because you were sick on the last day before break?? HOW OLD ARE YOU? You could have emailed that shit on THE DAY YOU WERE SICK. You're a ******* idiot. Jesus christ, have fun flipping burgers.
