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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I got a new computer because my old one crashed, deleting all music, photos, and documents. I still had all my music on my iPod though, and went to sync it to the new computer. By accident, my younger brother pulled the cord out before it was done, deleting all 3,000 songs forever. 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, 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
Today, I worked a short shift at work, getting sent home early because it was slow. In the time I was gone, my family decided surprise me by rearranging my room and put in my new desk. They also surprised me when I learned that they'd spilled a slushie on my very expensive computer. FML
Today, my parents bought my 11-year-old brother a MacBook for my birthday. FML
Today, my dad's new girlfriend's daughter came over with them. She had a tantrum because my brand new computer, which I worked and saved for, was better than her notebook, which was bought for her. So what did she do? Oh, she threw it off my desk. For some reason I'm being yelled at. 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, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML
Today, my computer crashed and lost all of its data while I was making a back up. FML

why would they throw out your old computer?are they idiots? I don't think anyone is that stupid... I think this is either fake, or you have the STUPIDEST parents in the world. if this is real and you just have parents who have been living under a rock for the past 15 years, YLIF.

Why the hell did they throw it out? Wasn't it clearly labeled..backup or important!? FYL. They should probably ask before throwing out your shit. I'd be pissed.

I'm sorry, do you label your backup hard drive? I'm guessing not... and if you still use DVDs to backup, well, that's a problem.

Buy something new and throw out the old doesn't always apply.

lol so they threw it out? just go grab it out the trash can. I'm sure your pokemon & fanfic are still on there. If they're dumb enough to just throw out a computer, they're not smart enough to have wiped off your hard drive. This is completely untrue.

Your life's on your computer. Back it up. Every photo. Every song. Every document. Safe with Mozy.

Or, you know, pretend to be safe from lawnmowers. Don't get Mozy. An external HDD is more than fine in most cases. Plus, I'm cheap. realllly cheap.
