Today, the Internet wasn't working. One girl decided to try to diagnose the problem. It said to connect the Ethernet cable. She started making fun of the computer for spelling "Internet" wrong. I'm graduating with this idiot in less than a month. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was showing my Mom how to use the Internet on her phone. As there was bad reception, it said "Unexpected Failure." Seeing it, she muttered under her breath, "Just like you, then..." FML
Today, the ethernet cable that I'd waited so long for arrived. I have been gaming on the stupidly unstable wifi for months and finally I thought my life would be saved. Then it turns out that the ethernet port isn't working. FML
Today, I turned in my final worth 20% of the grade. Today was also the day my internet decided to die. 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 computer stopped connecting to the corporate network. I know what the problem is, but our tech support is so clueless that the only thing they do is utter the dreaded words, "Did you try turning it off and back on?" Meanwhile my boss is yelling at me for not getting any work done. FML
Today, I called Tech Support because the computer program wouldn't let me open files for my online classes. After an hour, and being walked through the downloading process multiple times. There was a pause and he said, "You're a fucking idiot." and hung up. It still won't work. FML
Today, I spent most of the day doing a project for school. When I finished, I got a call from my project partner. She couldn't finish her part because her internet didn't work. When I finally finished everything, I went on Facebook. She was on Facebook too. FML
Today, after two weeks with no internet, we had a technician repair our service at our apartment. An hour later, one of my neighbors at the same complex yelled at us because the same technician disconnected her service by mistake. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boss that using a wired connection instead of wifi won't stop his computer from getting viruses. He looked at me, open-mouthed and wide-eyed, like he was a 13-year-old boy and I was a pair of tits. Then he called me clueless and told me to get back to work. FML
Today, my internet was so slow I couldn't even load an internet speed test to see how slow my internet was. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you two compete for the same job at least you know it'll be an easy decision for the employer

Unless it's a Comp Sci. degree, it's not a problem. People don't know the minutia of other fields. For example, most people who are not English majors don't know that "gullible" is not a word in the English language.

haha, but in her defense, we all do stupid things at times

Hahaha well you could take the time to educate her or let her fall into a pit of her own stupidity.

I get what you mean, and usually those people who have good grades surprise you with such a stupid thing, and you don't even know if they're joking.

When I was buying a house, I saw a listing that said "this home has real potential for sweat equity" or something like that. I said to my husband "haha, they spelled 'sweet' wrong," having never heard the term before. Now, every time we update something in our house he makes a joke about all of our sweet equity.

If she is pretty she could still land a job in the IT industry, with many hungry male engineers (think dilbert) gladly do her work for her. Wait, it will probably work as long as she is not fugly

That is not stupid. Maybe she just call it a cable. Some people have difficulty with names. I am glad I manage to call my friends by their names ( with an 90% accuracy)

The problem with this girl is not that she doesn't know the word "ethernet". The problem is that she actually started making fun of the computer because she thinks she knows everything and the computer is stupid. That's beyond stupid.

I know nothing about computer. I have no idea what a Ethernet cable is, however I do know that it isn't supposed to be Internet.

An Ethernet cable would connect from your modem to your computer to get a direct connection
socccer_chick_02 9
Oh that thing? I just call it a cable. Usually if my Internet isn't working my dad will just tell me to unplug and plug back in the cables on the modem.

#59, I think it's ok that you didn't know. It's not a big deal. At least you knew that it's an actual word that means something. And now you know!
