Today, my dad got a warning from our ISP for going well over their fair usage limit. I barely use our wifi, and I keep telling him he should password-protect our router to stop people leeching our Internet. He's blaming me anyway, and says I'm grounded until January. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my best friend's dad used my internet connection to make threats online. I'm going to have to go to court for it. FML
Today, my dad grounded me. Again. First it was my phone, now my watch. How the hell am I supposed to communicate now? FML
Today, my dad grounded me for not having any friends. FML
Today, my dad grounded me for two weeks for profusely swearing at my misbehaving laptop. After some arguing, he actually accepted my half-joking offer to play a game of CoD over it. His condition was that if I lost, my grounding period would double. We played. He kicked my ass. FML
Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML
Today, I threatened my kids I’d turn off their WiFi unless they did their chores, so my eldest chimed in, "Please, we changed the WiFi password months ago in case you tried to threaten us like this," then turned off my WiFi, which I need to work from home. I had to beg a 12-year-old to let me work. FML
Today, I tried to blackmail my dad by threatening to tell mom about the bong and weed he keeps hidden in the garage. Turns out she already knew about it and neither of them give a shit. Now I'm grounded until the new year. FML
Today, my son tried extort me into turning the WiFi back on by hiding my purse. He was mad because he'd lost access for being disrespectful. FML
Today, my Dad thought "Joseph" and "Francis" were two people hacking our internet. They are actually the names of my laptop and iPod, which have now been blocked from using our modem. He can't figure out how to unblock them. FML
Today, my dad forgot it's my birthday. When I told him about it, he accused me of lying and threatened to ground me for a week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

OP should make sure the windows are closed so the wifi doesn't get out.

9-Personally i just keep a net over my windows so I can enjoy the fresh air and know that my wifi is safe.

26 - Yeah but then you need to make sure you have the right kind of net. If the holes are too big or the bandwidth is too small it will slip right through.
newbiehere99 6
Wait if you close your windows your wifi won't get out?!? I've gotta try this !!
newbiehere99 6
I sympathize for anyone who took my comment serious ...

This reminds me of the FML where someones mother actually thought you could keep wifi contained by closing windows
starbunnytwinkle 3
60 - duh. That's the point.

Reminds me of an FML where someone set their name to: try to hack this. Left his house came back and it was changed to: Challenge accepted
tjv3 10
Well password protect it for him
KiddNYC1O 22
1- New wifi name? Lol
beterdude 2
Well stuff cost money. That's why u get a password sorry op
NeatNit 33
When I see an open Wi-Fi, I just assume that whoever left it open is simply kind enough to share his internet connection with passersby. If you're too dumb to password your Wi-Fi, no one can be blamed except you. The only jerk in this FML is the dad.

LIES!

Got one.

I didn't even know ISPs had Internet limits.

Use oh so many gigabytes and they tend to get annoyed by you. Easiest way to hit that would be.....download like 50 DVDs of movies. If these leeches wanted blood instead of data they'd be long dead.
lilhellian 27
Sandman, I have downloaded more then that and no issue..

Op go into your router there is an option to block mac addresses. You can set it to only allow your family devices. Your dad won't find out easily.
Naitras 15
That's assuming that op knows how to access the router. That being said if she does know how to access it she could just put a password on it, its a fair bit easier than blocking all but a few mac addresses the family has
lilhellian 27
66 Say ops dad has a friend over and they wanna connect. He sees it has a password he's going to get pissed at op. Mac block He simply won't connect and the dad won't be any the wiser as to why. Also on some routers theres an option to block all that you don't list.
scoobysmith44 9
But it's also pretty easy to spoof a MAC address. Op should find the story on the guy who almost went to prison for child **** because of unsecured wifi then suggest putting a password on it. Make sure to use wpa though.

Just ground him back
andiewithlove 21
And then get bitch slapped. GREAT idea!
zingline89 18
This is not a terrible idea. Every time I get arrested, I just tell the officer "No, actually I'm placing you under citizen's arrest." Works every time.
dixiefoxx 22
I hate it when parents do that, blame us for the problem without listening to anything you say
ma12r 22
leave it to people to steal wifi and get people grounded...I say time to strike back!
Obey_StudBoii 23
How do you think people steal your wifi? Try thinking next time
ryry013 6
Those darn people. I vote to just get rid of all of them. Who's with me?
ma12r 22
#32 you don't put a password on your wifi therefore everyone has access to it. that's how they "steal" it and that's how OP here got grounded
lilhellian 27
58 There's a neat little program called backtrack. It can hack passwords.

Tough cookies kid. You are posting stories on the Internet tho. God I feel old saying this, but when I was kid and I was grounded I learned to start playing imaginary games with carpet and lead paint to entertain myself.
hotPinklipstick 24
According to your profile you're 25, that's not even close to being old.

That is nothing 8, when I was a kid I used to go in my closet and jerk off to Master Shredder from the Ninja Turtles when I was bored. Suck it.
wickedninja918 1
that's nothing when I was a kid and I got grounded, I would post on Facebook how much my life sucked.
mercsl65 7
Why the thumbs down? I didn't have a computer to post on fml or a cell phone that could do more than make call when I was young enough to be grounded. Being grounded meant I stayed in my room with NOTHING. Kids these days are spoiled rotten.
MrPlopper 9
86- Or you're a cynical asshole
mercsl65 7
I'm curious to know how my cynical outlook has anything to do with the comparison of activities performed while being grounded. Namely posting to a website while being grounded until January.

Tell all those mooching ass holes, if they want free Wi-Fi to go to McDonald's.
Shadomasta 5
McDonald's has free WiFi??
ICastillo 25
Yes sir, they do.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
I thought this was going to be an FML because the dad used up all your internets watching ****, I guess that shows where my mind is at...
lilhellian 27
Yup, them catholic school gi... I mean wonderful educational sites for Op. :)
ICastillo 25
If there is a better use for the Internet, I haven't found it.
