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

Today, right after I finished writing a very important paper and saved it to my hard drive, my barely 2-year-old Macbook decided to completely stop functioning. I went to the Apple store and even they can't get it to turn on. That's $1500 down the drain along with my grade. FML

Today, I sat down at my computer for the first time in a week, and discovered that my cat had thrown up all over my keyboard. I needed to write up an important document but the chunks were stuck down in the keys, effectively locking it up and making it useless. FML

Today, I realized how much I'm on the computer. I tried to "CTRL+Z" on something I wrote down on my paper. FML

Today, my cat decided to use my keyboard as a scratching post, and now my computer won't work. FML

Today, my step-mom restarted the computer because she thought she'd downloaded a virus that stopped her from being able to click on anything, erasing my 7-page paper in the process. It turns out it was just the batteries dying in our wireless mouse. FML

Today, I finally finished my 500 page manuscript and so went out to buy some paper to print it off. I get back home and find out my dad has infected my computer with a virus and the only way to save it was to wipe the hard drive, which he did. That script took me a year and I have no backup. FML

Today, while trying to get my attention, my dog got her nail stuck in a usb port in my laptop. She freaked out and ran off, dragging it off my lap and through the house before if came off. Her nail was only slightly chipped- my laptop now has a cracked screen. FML

Today, I went to check my grade, which was posted for an essay for my comp 1 class. I got a zero. I was devastated only to find out I never actually clicked the submit document button. My grade dropped 20 points. FML

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

Today, while I was using my computer, my cat ran up to the power strip, looked me in the eyes, and hit the power switch, turning everything off. She does this quite often. FML

i always save my papers every five minutes or at least after each page i type, it doesn't take long, ctrl-s or file-save. anyways your an idiot number 11 if the power is cut without it being shut down properly nothing is backed up, the RAM is instantly cleared! so your essay was erased which sucks, and yeah get your dog some frontline or something.

That sucks, but ALWAYS save, save like every 2 seconds, also since you didn't have it saved that means you were doing the whole thing the night before, always a bad idea

I usually save every half-a-paragraph because I'm paranoid, lol. But whatever. My best friend's nephew likes to come up and press the power button constantly. It is SO SO SO SO SO annoying! Ugh. I get annoyed even thinking about it. lmfao

How many computers nowadays turn off when you hit the power button? When Windows XP was released every computer that was able to use it was required to have a second way of entering into sleep mode. Same with Energy Star machines. I'd say it was your fault for not updating your machine. Even the less superior computers (Macs) have a "Are you sure feature"?
