Today, I was writing a huge paper for a class as our last grade. My dog starts scratching himself. He hit the power button on the computer. Nothing was saved. FML

This happened to me, too, except it was an online exam that I couldn't re-enter, and my cat walked onto my laptop and hit the power button. :( I frantically e-mailed the professor saying that I'd accidentally hit the power button and closed the exam. All better now! So yeah, FYL, not mine.

#187 If you were taking an online exam why did you let your cat walk over your laptop? Why would you let your pets walk over expensive and/or important equipment in any situation? I wouldn't let you retake the exam as you could have easily moved the cat away from the laptop or ensure beforehand that it wouldn't bother you (aka put it in another room).

oh ffs this is fake. If you don't use Word (since it didn't autosave), you are computer literate enough to have downloaded a word processor and obviously would save often. If you post on FML, you are computr literate enough to save. The poster is either lying or is exaggerating about losing the first sentence since it doesn't say that he began working substantially on the paper. Why do the mods even approve stuff like this? It's not funny. It's just stupid as hell. No one wants to hear about something who lost their work even if it were true, which it isn't. Completely boring. This site didn't get popular because of dumb stories of people not saving their papers.

And NO ONE loses long papers because of power button issues like this. You might lose a 2-paragraph response paper your first time using a computer in elementary school, but by the time you are doing senior papers for hs you probably save automatically without thinking about it. BS

You must have an old ass computer if simply touching the power button turns it off... most computers/laptops today have the built in feature where in order to do a hard-shutdown you must hold the button for 3-5 seconds... Also, another reason why Cats > Dogs :) and why having your computer on a desk != having it on the floor. ( != means 'does not equal' for those less techno savvy people )

A sort of duel "your life sucks" and "YDI" It's a shit situation, for sure, but you should always, ALWAYS save often. At least you still had the general idea of everything you typed in your head? And now you know to keep your dog away from the computer.
