Today, I returned home for the first time in a year, and found my entire computer missing. I asked my grandma about this, and she told me that she threw "the TV" away because it "no longer responded to the remote control." FML

Nice one!

If she thought it was a TV, then she would have left the CPU, right?
#3 - 11/12/2009 at 2:18pm - alwaysalady
You're referring to the tower... which houses the motherboard containing the CPU. But who knows how old people think?
#8 - 11/12/2009 at 2:29pm - aero
if it was one of those Macs or an HP all in one, it wouldn't have been separate.
#14 - 11/12/2009 at 2:40pm - Jcat
It does say "Entire computer missing" So I assume that includes the tower
#29 - 11/12/2009 at 4:08pm - Sun_Kissed18
CPU can also refer to the entire chassis, though it's a bit of an archaic usage.
#60 - 11/13/2009 at 12:20am - Lehk
No, it can't. It's an inaccurate layman's term. CPU is Central Processing Unit, however the computer (or tower, base, case, etc.) contains much more than just a single processor. OP, that really sucks. Hopefully she'll get you a new one.
#70 - 11/13/2009 at 4:34am - Finnboghi
Omg that sucks but it's really funny at the same time!
#4 - 11/12/2009 at 2:22pm - Starfire22
OMG THEN HOW ARE YOU POSTING THIS?!
#5 - 11/12/2009 at 2:23pm - Smashly_Ashly
Agree!

Wow...I live near this thing called a library...it's pretty freaky in there. They have books that I can, like, read, and these computers that...*whispers* I CAN USE FOR FREE!! Plus, some people have both desktops and laptops. Or maybe he works with computers and had spares. There's any number of possibilities, so stop whining about things that don't make sense in your brain and spend five minutes trying to puzzle it out before you look like an idiot.

"...found my entire computer missing..." ...found one of my computers missing... >>Sarcasm not detected. >>ACCESS DENIED.
#17 - 11/12/2009 at 2:55pm - Smashly_Ashly
And, there are these awesome people called friends and this place some people go to each day called...college/school! And there are these nifty things called cell phones, some of which have internet access!! OMG!!!
#26 - 11/12/2009 at 3:34pm - Dr_Pepper

#49 - 11/12/2009 at 7:15pm - valuben505

#61 - 11/13/2009 at 12:21am - jloveee
@17... LOL. Nice one Ash...
#65 - 11/13/2009 at 1:19am - FarSide

OMG...FYL but that is funny!
#7 - 11/12/2009 at 2:24pm - flgirlwguitar
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my gosh... this made me laugh so hard. FYL OP. Not everyone can have a tech-savvy grandma......... or one that can tell the difference between a TV and a computer. But, I wanna know: How are you posting on FML? o_O Are you using a friend's comp?
#10 - 11/12/2009 at 2:31pm - MermaidSongXOXO
old people + technology = priceless :D

Should have gotten a new remote lol
#15 - 11/12/2009 at 2:46pm - donkey_hang_down
Idk whats funnier, the fact she thought your computer was a tv, or that she'd throw the "tv" away just because she'd had to get up to control it.
#16 - 11/12/2009 at 2:47pm - Fresh2death2021
Toss her in the dumpster, 'cause she no longer works either (only works if she's retired).
#18 - 11/12/2009 at 3:01pm - jonnymohio
You haven't been there in a year, so obviously not that important...
#19 - 11/12/2009 at 3:09pm - HJB
wooooowww lmfao... legit. fyl your computer is now on someone elses desk and someone may have profited well from it lol
#20 - 11/12/2009 at 3:12pm - KiddNYC10
lmao!!! ur granny's hilarious!!!
#21 - 11/12/2009 at 3:14pm - jessxoxo28
smashly Ashley, I am not replying to your post, because I can't, I am on my phone... figure it out PHONE FML phone=/=computer... therefore, he could be using his phone
#23 - 11/12/2009 at 3:23pm - farhil
nows the time to get a new desktop and lecture your granny about dem newfangled TVs

Awwww, that's so sweet! You have your incompetent granny take care of your house for you while you're away. Aww :D
#28 - 11/12/2009 at 4:02pm - splydoms
Sell your grandma for spare parts and buy a new computer with the money you make. One kidney could probably get you a nice computer, but both kidneys could get you an awesome gaming rig AND a printer!
#30 - 11/12/2009 at 4:26pm - perdix
Also this.
#36 - 11/12/2009 at 4:48pm - Ohnothingreally
Nah, all her stuff is probably out dated. :/
#43 - 11/12/2009 at 6:18pm - EmmaElaine
You're probably right. The OP is probably going to have to throw in the liver, spleen and pancreas to get that stuff. If the old bag lived right, maybe she could sell her gall bladder for an iPhone (3Gs, bithces!)
#46 - 11/12/2009 at 6:41pm - perdix
oh man, old people are soooo fucking STUPID. I'm so glad my parents will never be like this because they're not retards.
#31 - 11/12/2009 at 4:27pm - noshitsherlock
I've seen senility in old people before, but this is the first time I've read of someone being that damn senile! I wonder if he can trade her for his computer?
#37 - 11/12/2009 at 4:56pm - ProtoBuster_1
This has little to do with senility, and everything to do with ignorance. Grandma's and your's.
#66 - 11/13/2009 at 1:22am - FarSide
I would be entirely mad, but not after I went to search for it.
#32 - 11/12/2009 at 4:32pm - ndawgg
Well you couldn't have missed it too much if you haven't touched it in a year. I hope you didn't have any important information on it.
#33 - 11/12/2009 at 4:39pm - blalien
You didn't really need the poor thing if you left it with an old hag for an year. How sad. YDI for PC cruelty.
#35 - 11/12/2009 at 4:47pm - Attrox
Obviously it wasn't that important if you left it there for a year. YDI
#38 - 11/12/2009 at 4:57pm - hellokimmiee
FML - People on the internet are not getting my funny. =[
#39 - 11/12/2009 at 5:08pm - Smashly_Ashly
You kinda deserve it for leaving for a year and just leaving your stuff out like that. But G'mama needs to be taught a lesson. Wax the floor really well, constantly move the furniture around and talk in widely varying volume and speed.

#56 - 11/12/2009 at 9:39pm - dudeitsdanny
Aww...somebody's getting senile!
#41 - 11/12/2009 at 5:23pm - aback
WOW! Senile much? XD
#42 - 11/12/2009 at 5:58pm - Piklink
WOOOOOOOOW, PATRIMONIAL!!
#44 - 11/12/2009 at 6:23pm - youngboss
You mustn't have needed the computer if you hadn't been home in a year... so who cares? FHL for having your shit at her house.
#45 - 11/12/2009 at 6:23pm - bored690
umm maybe they were in the army and just got home from iraq... ever think of that... i doubt the army would let him bring a computer with him to war...
#50 - 11/12/2009 at 7:19pm - amiotica
you probably can fix this by beating her...
#47 - 11/12/2009 at 6:47pm - sacman
that cracked me up funniest fml ever!
#48 - 11/12/2009 at 7:00pm - erowlyn
goddamn old people... when i get old, im gonna hire a guy to kill me so i wont be a retard who just gets in the way like that guy/girl
#51 - 11/12/2009 at 7:25pm - fafa123
ahaha even if the tv didn't respond put some batteries in the remote hah
#52 - 11/12/2009 at 7:54pm - couny343
She thought she didn't have to, because the remote was in a dock. She couldn't figure out why there would be a new voice message on the remote's dock, though
#57 - 11/12/2009 at 9:42pm - dudeitsdanny
My unnoficial diagnosis is alzheimers
#53 - 11/12/2009 at 7:59pm - bbq34567
Gramma's are wonderful that way, I feel bad for you but I had a good laugh
#54 - 11/12/2009 at 8:39pm - indygirl24
I have the same problems teaching my grandma how that stuff works '-'
#58 - 11/12/2009 at 10:07pm - J1208
thats what you get for having an all-in-one mac. btw that still really sucks. i'd be so mad!
#62 - 11/13/2009 at 12:24am - mh_mini
Rofl I'd be so pissed That almost happens to my xbox
#63 - 11/13/2009 at 1:03am - woofis
I would have thrown grandma's ass out... since her pacemaker no longer responded to the remote.
#64 - 11/13/2009 at 1:17am - FarSide
Time to man up and get your own place sweetheart
#67 - 11/13/2009 at 1:34am - Erindub
Even you are living with your grandma you shold get your owen private place otherwise more stuff will miss.
#68 - 11/13/2009 at 2:10am - cein
I can see how your grandma would mistake a computer for a t.v. if she knows very little about electronics but she had no right to throw anything of yours away without asking you about it first whether it works or not. The ignorance of some people just astound me. FYL OP and I hope you tell her that she owes money for a new "t.v."
#69 - 11/13/2009 at 2:30am - Kronic_Kitten
I'm sorry that your grandmother did that. Now you know to put your stuff elsewhere, which sucks. If she acts "quirky" in other ways, she'd probably do well to see a competent medical doctor to rule out the first stages of Alzheimer's or dimentia. Caught early, there are a lot of things than can be done now for them. Good luck.

Probably in jail for a year. Shallow gene pool here folks.
