Today, we finally got wireless Internet. My mom won't let us open any doors or windows in fear that it might "let the Internet out". It's 103 degrees in here. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my roommates keep opening my bedroom door to "let the WiFi out." FML
Today, I visited my mom because I don't see her much due to her living 30 minutes away from me. They just recently fixed their AC. A few hours before I was about to leave, it broke again. I tried to be patient but it heated up to over 80 degrees inside, and I'm really sensitive to heat. Thankfully they weren't offended. FML
Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without air conditioning because the asshole landlord won't fix it. There was nice cool air from the rain. I've killed about 100 flying ants that have made their way inside. Now I have a hot house with closed windows and flying ants. FML
Today, my parents canceled the Internet at our house because they view it as a "passing fad." FML
Today, as I have my entire life, I live in the south. However, our AC decided to break and now it's 91 degrees inside the house, even with fans on and the windows open. FML
Today, in the middle of this heatwave, my mom has a fan in her bedroom and her precious dog has two fans pointing at her dog bed, which she apparently needs because she could overheat, poor thing. Meanwhile, I have zero fans in my room and can't sleep from the heat, but I get told to just deal with it. FML
Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Today, I returned home to find out that my new and very expensive computer had overheated. I confronted my mom, and she told me that she had covered up the fan because she didn't like the noise. 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, the company I work for decided to "go green" and stopped using the air conditioner to cool down the office. It is currently 81 degrees at my desk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's what I was wondering... If it's 103 inside, where the hell is the AC?
geeksaresexy 18
Having internets doesn't cost as much as running AC.. Maybe they can't afford AC
MrsDarcy_fml 3
I don't have AC either; never have and never will. It's completely unnecessary and with the state of both the economy and the enviroment, I'm surprised so many people still use it.
dmmcintyre3 8
When it's often over 103ºF outside you need it.
MrsDarcy_fml 3
Go swimming, plant some trees, turn on a fan if necessary. It got hot before AC was invented and became so widespread; people somehow managed.
sxe_beast 11
Darcy, you were joking right? You don't understand why people wish to live comfortably in their own homes. You don't understand that people can choose to allocate their resources to wherever they want? Um, okay.
horneyhic 15
I don't have AC either it just seems wrong to pay for cold air
MrsDarcy_fml 3
I do understand why people would want it; however, I am stating that it is nowhere near necessary.
fmlsaves 0
internet > EVERYTHING ELSE
geeksaresexy 18
If I had to choose between paying for internets and paying for AC I know which one I'd choose!
sxe_beast 11
The internet you're on isn't necessary. The cell phone you probably own isn't necessary. The TV you probably watch/pay for isn't necessary. Nor is the restaurant food you probably enjoy every one in a while. Or the makeup you probably wear. That rabbit in your profile pic isn't necessary. Its up there with fish in uselessness. People like having useless things. FYI, I'm pretty sure the invention of heating and air conditioning has saved a numerous lives (hypothermia and hyperthermia).
MrsDarcy_fml 3
No argument against the fact that many things are unnecessary; there was no real need for you to list them. FYI- My original comment, as well as those who commented before me, was originally under the comment that said "priority fail," the comment now listed as #10. Some people have different priorities, and some unnecessary things rank higher on some people's list than others. AC is low on mine and apparently on OP's. Also, I am fairly sure that proper insulation, the use of fireplaces, and cool water has helped as well. The apparently few of us without AC have survived thus far.
sxe_beast 11
"It got hot before AC was invented and became so widespread; people somehow managed." "Also, I am fairly sure that proper insulation, the use of fireplaces, and cool water has helped as well. The apparently few of us without AC have survived thus far." People way back when didn't always have cool water immediately available and proper insulation? There were plenty of ancient "air conditioning" methods that worked to varying success. And by varying success I mean a large amount of people perished due to heat strokes and freezing to death. Air conditioning IS a necessity. There are a multitude of uses for it other than comfort. The surgical operating room, the manufacturing of drugs, transportation of goods, preservation of stuff, refrigeration, making the office with hundreds of people to work in bearable, etc. Most people take it for granted, but the modern world would be completely different without air conditioning as it is now. It has helped propel the world into what is today. Without it the world would be completely different. The entire sun belt would nothing without it. You should watch educational television more often. If you care you can watch this nifty 3 minute History Channel video: bit.ly/m1e8fb This is why it isn't "wrong to pay for cold air". "It's completely unnecessary/I am stating that it is nowhere near necessary" should read as "I personally find no need in air conditioning as I am a hippy and cannot afford it".
geeksaresexy 18
'transportation of goods, preservation of stuff, refrigeration' refrigeration is not the same as air conditioning.. 'There were plenty of ancient "air conditioning" methods' which you could still use today if needed.. As for it being a necessity, it terms of personal use in homes it is NOT a necessity. If it was a necessity in homes everyone would have it! I appreciate that in places like hospitals etc it might be necessary.

Not everyone can afford air conditioning. If it was free the companies would go in debt. Think.
DizzyDaydreams 1
So? Food is a necessity yet not everyone can afford food. Clothes are, but not everyone can. You may live a good life but not everyone can. AC is necessary, but not everyone can have it. If AC was free companies would be in debt. Think.
geeksaresexy 18
I have central heating but I haven't used it since I've lived in my house. If it's too hot I open windows and doors or use a fan! If it's cold I put on extra layers. I work in a shop with no AC or heating, sometimes the temp drops below the legal minimum allowed (16 Celsius) I also cycle everywhere so I have to be used to the temp because, unlike cars, bikes have no AC. Also sorry but OP lives in NEBRASKA where the average temp is less than 30c in the height of summer! We get that here and hardly any one has AC!! The hottest it's EVER been in Nebraska is 48c. OP just need to open a window and they'll be fine!
bluegoldfish 7
229, you obviously haven't actually been reading mrsdarcy's posts. what she's saying is that she PERSONALLY doesn't find air conditioning IN HOMES to be a necessity - and she's right, it isn't, plenty of people manage without it. she wasn't talking about any other use for it, so alternative situations where ac is a necessity are beside the point (but just a tip, if you want to list "uses of a/c other than for comfort", don't include "offices"). i might be wrong, but i'm pretty sure she also said that was her opinion and that other people may prioritise differently. so all in all, none of your argument actually relates to what she said.
Black_Letter 19

that's a major priority fail. why do you have wireless Internet, but no air conditioning?

Mabey cos wirless is cheaper? and that they din't need one because the had enough air coming in form the outside. How were they supose to know their mother was going to be so stupid.
kut19 6
neither one of those are absolute necessities. so neither one is higher on a list of priorities.

They probably live somewhere where the wind blows in (through the windows) during summer so they dont need an air conditioner.

I with #10, get ac. Then open the windows and doors.

Erm yeah, AC doesn't really work if you have your windows and doors open..

I agree with the 2 above, but how does #10's comment come close to relating to yours? it mentions a butterfly net, not AC
itsmeyippie 0
whoops go ahead and down vote that, I read #9's comment not 10's, but why would you open windows with AC on?
