Today, I took a shower after I finished typing an important essay I've been working on for days. My computer illiterate mum shut the computer down when I was gone, without saving a thing. When I confronted her, she yelled at me for "wasting electricity". FML

How is it your mother's responsibility to save YOUR work? Unless you kept it up on screen, she had no way of knowing you hadn't done so yourself. And who works on something so important that it takes them days to finish it, without saving it in between edits? No, you may not have been expecting your mother to turn the computer off, but any number of things could've happened in the time you were in the shower (power outage, software crash, or computer freeze, to name a few) - which is why they always say to save your shit before walking away. Is she computer illiterate because she turned it off without saving, or just because she usually is in general? If it's for not saving - then seems to me that you're just as computer illiterate, if not more so since you were the one who should've known better than to not save.

fyl for losing all that work. believe me i know how it feels....butttttt ydi for not saving it! i mean i'm only in 11th grade, and the first thing i was ever taught when i started middle school was to save every few minutes. you never know when the computer is just randomly going to shut down or something like that...I had been working on a book report for a while....and i was in the middle of finishing it when the power flickered....needless to say i lost the last part...=/

If you had been working on it for days then you had to have saved it at some point. And you technically were indeed wasting electricity. I think just about everyone has gone through this once and it was enough to learn to never leave your work unsaved. Now, hopefully, you are also smart enough to learn from it. And your mom is only like 10% at fault. The rest is all you.

Who the **** works on something for days without saving. Who. The. ****? I say your mom did the right thing and taught you a lesson. Good for her!

I know this isn't the point, but leaving the computer on isn't wasting electricity. You always leave the fridge on, right? Booting up the computer daily wastes more electricity. I strongly suspect this is fake. Too many holes.
