Today, we got my dad an iPad for his birthday. I had to repeatedly reassure him that he could in fact touch the screen without being shocked. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad borrowed my new iPad to amuse him while he was in the shower without my knowledge. The iPad is now completely ruined, and my dad is refusing to buy me a new one. He says, "How was I to know that it wasn't waterproof?" FML
Today, I found out my dad bought an iPhone. I've spent the better part of the last six months teaching him how to check his email and online newspapers. FML
Today, I was shopping when I overheard a woman telling an employee that she was buying an iPad for her 5-year-old son. Annoyed, I turned around and ranted about how he should have more age appropriate toys. Then she explained that her son is autistic and will be using the iPad to communicate. FML
Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML
Today, my parents bought my 11-year-old brother a MacBook for my birthday. FML
Today, the whole family came over to celebrate my 18th birthday. My grandfather bought me a giant mathematics book. Apparently, he didn't want my 16 year old sister to be "jealous", so he got her the new iPad. FML
Today, my dad forgot it's my birthday. When I told him about it, he accused me of lying and threatened to ground me for a week. FML
Today, my dad gathers so much static electricity from almost everything that he does that I've become paranoid and scared to touch him at all. He thinks I hate him now. FML
Today, I was looking at some cellphones with my dad, when an assistant asked if we needed help. My dad said, "Yeah, does this have parental controls? My son watches some freaky stuff, some damn freaky stuff." I don't watch anything weird, but thanks for humiliating me, dad. FML
Today, while mopping the kitchen, I ended up slipping and and knocked over the table that had my mom’s iPad on it. The screen shattered; I sprained my wrist. I asked my mom to take me to the ER. She called me "selfish" because her iPad screen repair would "cost more." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Actually, touchscreens do use conductivity... Technically he's right but not really.

You probably play a lot of tricks on him. I'm shocked you would make fun of such a touchy subject.

Aw, parents. :) my brother and I got our normally non-tech-y dad a Kindle for his 60th birthday. It took him some time to adjust but he got there eventually; I'm sure your dad will too. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

Well, it IS Apple. If you're not careful, you may accidently agree to take part in a HumancentiPad experiment.

Just don't get him near a iPhone...the vibration it does for certain things could give him a heart attack !

How old is he? It's probably just kind of silly unless he's young enough that this should be common knowledge. Once he gets the hang of it he'll probably laugh at himself.

Technically he is right to an extent. Touch screens now work by using a tiny electrical signal between your finger and the screen. Hence why they don't usually work when you wear gloves. But the charge is so small that you can't feel it.

You do realize that almost all touch screens are of electrically insulating material, right?
