Today, the power was out. I tried to explain to my boyfriend that he wouldn't be able to watch any TV until the power came back on. His response was, "But we have Netflix." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the power went out in my area. My wife and I were bored so I lit some candles, poured some wine, and left little to her imagination about what my intent was. We cuddled a while and as I leaned in for a kiss the power came back on. She was more excited that the WiFi was back than anything. FML
Today, I was watching ESPN. My boyfriend came in, bitched about "boring tv," so I handed him the remote. He put on a Lifetime movie. I must be the only woman in America with this problem. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me but wanted to make sure that we were still friends, so he could still use my Netflix. FML
Today, the power went out. Thankfully, it was early in the morning so I should've been able to sleep through it. Then I realized I have an impossible time sleeping during power outages. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend told me the only reason he has stayed with me for the last 6 months is because of the Netflix account. FML
Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML
Today, my husband surprised me by cooking a romantic dinner. I asked him why the sudden gesture. His response? "The cable was out." FML
Today, after a power outage at my house, my 14-year-old brother was genuinely confused as to why our flashlights still worked if we had no electricity. FML
Today, after watching TV, my boyfriend and I had to go walk our dog. I was too lazy to get up from the couch immediately so I teased him by turning off all the (smart) lights using my phone. He got mad and went upstairs to continue watching TV, so now I have to walk the dog alone. FML
Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. FML

If he was talking about watching Netflix on a smart phone or a tablet than he might have a point.

Give him some credit at least he knows you have Netflix right?

Invest in a UPS. We retain power for as long as the UPS can last. So Netflix might be possible...

Maybe OP doesn't live somewhere where power outages are frequent so a UPS would be a waste.

I don't live in such an area either, but shit happens and the UPS is useful.

I'm laughing at all the people living in 1999. I've never sat through a power outage and not be able to download, surf the web, watch shows.. or whatever else I want to do. the technology age is amazing and those of you that think OPs boyfriend is stupid need to join us in 2013.

Or everyone who has a million different ideas about how to find a way to watch Netflix during a power outage needs to remember that technology isn't everything. Power outages are the perfect time to spend time with people instead of being constantly plugged into the Internet, tv, etc.

While you do have a point, 58, it doesn't matter. 49 was just making a point that OP's boyfriend isn't as stupid as the post initially leads to believe. Since the post seems to be aimed more at the boyfriend's stupidity than at his unwillingness to spend time with OP, your comment is just a moral assessment that is nearly unrelated to the actual post.

In all fairness, I think everybody has these little brain farts. I had to explain to my grand mother once that we couldn't cook a frozen pizza in the oven because the power was out.

in her defense, our kitchen has a gas range. this means that a loss of electricity ain't no thing, and also when we cook things it smells like a potential house fire all the time. most older gas stoves didn't need electricity, although these days they're electrically ignited. still, a match would fix that for burners. ;) anyway, that's probably her issue. older gas ranges can be used without electricity.
