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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

I feel like this is easily solved by a 5 minute explanation of how wireless internet works. . .

your mom is truly an idiot. even if the doors are closed, the Internet signal still "gets out". your mom makes my immigrant mom an expert at technology

Closing doors and windows won't prevent Internet leakage. You need to buy a special AntiNetLeak shield. Contact your provider about it. Okay...that was a joke. On a more serious note: OP - tell your mum that wireless Internet doesn't work like that.Any neighbour within range will be able to see if you're connected to the Net no matter how many doors or windows she closes. And unless you have a secure password (i.e. combination of numbers, letters or special characters), any of those neighbours could still leech off your network (if they know the password - like, if it's too easy, people may be able to crack it.) - even with the doors or windows closed. That way - if you have a password - and someone tries to leech (basically - use without your knowledge or permission) off your Internet, they'll have to input a password to connect to your wireless network. It won't change the functionality of the Internet or anything - it just prevents your wireless from unwanted users. You can also set it so that any computers in your house automatically connect - my laptop will automatically connect to our network. (I'm typing this on my laptop which is connected to the wireless at home. No issues here. Also I'm studying IT and have been for the past 7.5 years (4 years in high school + 3.5 years of my degree.) Now hopefully you'll be able to use the Net with the doors AND windows open.

I really don't think op needed all that info, dumb ass. way to try and make yourself look smart - and fail. the op knows that shit, it's OP's mom that doesn't, hence the FML. nice try though.

@54 - No, but I think I've heard of him.

Like I said to 57, I was only trying to be nice. And what I wrote was for the benefit of OPs mum, not OP. I wasn't trying to be or look "smart". I was trying to help. OPs mum is obviously stupid. If I was in her position I would feel more comfortable receiving help from someone who knew what they were talking about. I'm not trying to say that others who commented here don't know. (It'd be like - say you have someone who's really bad at English - the subject, not the language. I'd think they'd feel better taking advice from someone who's actually studied it, or is at a higher level, rather than say their classmate who's getting really good marks. At least, that's how I'd feel). I guess maybe I assumed OPs mum was the same. I wasn't trying to do that.

people? maybe? if you're going to mock me at least learn how to spell you big **** stain!!
usnwife 18
because someone on FML saying they know what they are talking about is so much more credible than say, calling tech support? riiight...

geez 57, calm down, he was just trying to help. maybe you should get a life and quit hounding people that are innocently posting comments to help op.

57 he is an IT professional, are you? didn't think do. next Time you have a virus or worm (doubt you even know what that is) don't come running to geek squad cause guess what? there IT pros too and apparently you hate them. I am cisco network certified so I guess you hate me too. so let's get one thing straight, IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT US! we have a good job and that's more than you can say! with the attitude you have I can assume 2 things. 1) you don't like anyone who knows more than you and 2) your a pompous ass. you are not going to go anywhere in life.

Ahh...that is true. Even if what I say is true, which it is, there's no way to verify it - so you've got a good point there. (This is why I shouldn't write FML comments at 1am in the morning. Not good at thinking rationally.)

You ought to download massive amounts of kiddie ****, go on vacation and tip off the Feds as what goes on at your house. That'll teach your mom about letting the internet out. Wireless signals pass easily through windows whether they are closed or not. Glass windows, that is, when you're talking about M$'s OS, nothing happens easily;)

Is your mom FOB? My parents are kinda like that too
