Think this through
Today, my parents were surprised when I told them that changing the internet and cable service would also cut themselves off from the internet service's email. Which they have everything connected too. I thought about this when they told me they were saving $200 on switching. They apparently did not. FML

Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML

Today, my landlady cut off the Internet to my flat. She says she has no use for it, and doesn't want to keep it anymore. I have 3 online assignments due in the next week, and finals the following week. FML

Today, my parents told me off for reading, as opposed to watching TV like the rest of the family, because it was "anti-social". FML

Today, my parents confiscated my iPod, because the parents' group they go to came to the conclusion that music is a gateway to anti-social behavior. FML

Today, I had to be the responsible adult and take my parents' phones away. Most of their time is spent on social media and low-quality brainrot. FML

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

Today, my mother said she called our internet provider, and told them to cancel it. In rage, I left for a friends house for a couple of hours. When I got home, she told me she was joking, and wanted me out of the house so she could eat all the ice-cream. FML

And I'm guessing they probably ride pogo sticks to work because those will be popular forever.

Gotta agree with the parents, there issnt much to do on the Internet anyways

There is a lot to do in the Internet!! You can watch a video of a monkey scratching its butt for example.

I disagree 42. There's the always hilarious "Missed Connections" portion of Craigslist, ****, YouTube, ****, and of course, FML. Side note: Whatever happened to threebrain.com and bunnygrenade.com? Those sites were awesome back in the day...

You mean it's not? I should've thought harder about that investment in telekinetic helmets.

So something that has been around since 1960 is a passing fad? Even if you just count the 20 years it's been readily available it's more than a fad. It's time to educate your parents.

Internet-1960? Learn your shit man
maspembo 0
No u learn yours because the Internet came along with the computers around the 1950-60
marpay 11
Even though it wasn't commercially available till the 90's is was being developed in the 60's. Only a few computers where connected, mostly at 4 universities in the USA.

The Internet is useless. What can one possibly do with only a world of possibilities at their fingertips? Give it a year, people will come to their senses

For anyone who can't pick up on it, that was sarcasm
DropTheDaggerxx 31
Saying that something was sarcastic kind of ruins it, but I see why you did, there are an abundance of people on here of whom sarcasm flies right over their head.. Anyway, OP... that just sucks. Your parents are idiots.

If your parents disconnected the Internet then how did you make this post?

From a well known spot with wi-fi called McDonalds, or stardbuck's, an internet cafè, or a friend's house.
