Every time My mum uses the computer

bAssKicker · 1 day

I haven't used her computer for about 8 years and she still blames me for her computer being so slow.

We shared a computer at the bank I worked at. My supervisor would say, "I don't know what you were doing, but now the computer is messed up."

I look at the web history and see that my [22 yr old male] co-workers were looking at:

"You are the 25,000th person to reach this website."

and the kicker:

"Female Reproductive System"

My father blames me for every issue with his computer. I borrowed it once in 2008 to help him transfer pictures, and ever since then, it's my fault when anything happens.

Case in point: Last week, he bitched at me because the computer was slow (he bought it in 2004 and has never defragged it or cleaned it). His reason? "Because you use that goddamn foxfire virus on your computer, and hacked my processor!" (I use Chrome. I haven't used Firefox since early 2010.)

If I had a dollar for every time someone has made this meme, I would buy your mom a new computer.

My dad has done this multiple times to me. Every time the computer was acting weird, he was quick to blame me.

My mother told me that getting on her computer was a privilege not a right. I stopped using it, now it doesn't work.

My dad thought Steam was a hub for virus filled programs for the longest time.

I used to think "games" was a euphamism for porn... Turns out I was wrong, and she genuinely believed that installing games would give you viruses.

My mom usually blames someone in my family looking up porn, despite never using her computer.

InsecticideDoom · 2012-09-02T16:51:24+00:00

My mom used to do this all the time when I was about 7-8. Now me and my sister both have our own computers so she has no one to blame but herself now.

Nostalgia ahead:

Back when AOL was the de facto gateway to the internet, I spent most of my time on the computer ripping my friend's CDs to MP3s, building a pretty impressive library. This, by the way, was the only computer in the house. At the same time, I discovered CoolRoms.com, and proceeded to download practically every NES, SNES, and GBC game I'd beaten as a kid, and then some. Eventually, the HD started thrashing, and my parents, knowing I was on the thing all the time, asked me what I did to it. So I burned all my music and games to a couple of data-formatted CD-Rs (weren't those the days?), and saw very little improvement in system performance. Though I knew very little about Windows at the time, I was determined to find the cause of this problem, and eventually I did; AOL versions 3-7, all installed together, just sitting there, taking up space. System tray icons, auto-launch at bootup, the whole nine yards. The computer responded better, but still not good enough. My uncle came and finally convinced us to let him build us a computer with an RJ-45 adapter, and told us to upgrade from 128MB of RAM and a Pentium 2 after using it for five years straight. It was a good day, hearing him say to my parents, "What? You made him take off his music and games? You have a 40GB hard drive, he isn't taking up any space. You're fine." Since then, I got to "fix" the computer, and I am glad to report that they've been using the same replacement ever since.

"That World of Warcraft game is a virus!". Yes a game with 10 million players is actually just a virus.

ohsothisisreddit · 2012-09-02T10:49:14-07:00

Well it couldn't have been her, she makes a point to download every free anti-virus that pops up on her screen.

TheNoobestMoves · 2012-09-02T17:59:36+00:00

My mom blames Google Chrome..

sk1ppy1 · 2012-09-02T09:41:52-07:00

Im not alone after all.

bananafishe123 · 2012-09-02T11:21:46-07:00

My mom has decided everything is a virus.She got mad at me for downloading Google Chrome,because apparently it's a virus and deleted her history.

Juicy_Cooter · 2012-09-02T18:30:20+00:00

My mum does this except she says it's because I have too many tabs open in chrome it "welcomes bad things in".

It's a wonder that with half my genes coming from her I'm able to operate a computer at all.

vebent · 2012-09-02T20:30:22+00:00

This happened to me all of the time. One of the major ones was when the sound card went out on my dads work computer (he works from home). My mothers reason behind it? Because I installed Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and Red Alert on it.

The reason I thought it was? Because he was running Windows ME.

FreeThinkerLee · 2012-09-02T20:34:25+00:00

My mom blamed me for that all the time, no mom, its those religious sites you surf that have viruses.

Wifi-rape · 2012-09-02T10:18:13-07:00

Something about that womans fucking face just makes me extremely angry...

paigeorose92 · 2012-09-02T09:56:14-07:00

This was my grandmother 5 years ago. And now she has a level 80 on WoW.

DetectiveClownMD · 2012-09-02T16:42:01+00:00

I'm going to get punched in the sack but here it goes.

Got parents a Mac and they left me alone. So did other family members. Initial onslaught of how to use it was super annoying but after that smooth as butter.

Its only a matter of time before all the bad things made for windows are on macs but for now I am left alone.

mcmur · 2012-09-02T11:05:51-07:00

Every single time.

Jeffy29 · 2012-09-02T18:27:41+00:00

Every mom ever

kvlt616 · 2012-09-02T19:14:02+00:00

Install adblock plus+block site from host file, no viruses

Faint94 · 2012-09-02T12:36:40-07:00

this is so true

TOMEA · 2012-09-02T19:46:50+00:00

My favorite old people on the computer quote "why are you using chrome? use google instead"

CallMeAnEngineer · 2012-09-02T12:58:31-07:00

You spelled porn wrong.

Cersox · 2012-09-02T20:42:21+00:00

Every. Damn. Time.

jamart · 2012-09-02T14:31:28-07:00

In fairness, your porn consumption may well have caused some of the viruses.

Falpwn-PAWNCH · 2012-09-02T21:48:10+00:00

ahem Sir, I believe you have posted a meme picture that has already been released to the internet, and are gaining karma for something you did not make yourself. I only wish to inform people of this, and I am trying to be a lot politer than someone who would just type [REPOST] and expect comment karma.

BakedGoodness · 2012-09-02T22:11:11+00:00

Over 10 times. Over ten times I have seen this on Reddit. I hate you OP. I really do I'm sorry.

khaleesidany · 2012-09-03T01:40:02+00:00

So true

VitalGenitalArtery · 2012-09-03T04:58:28+00:00

Your mom gets a virus every time she uses the computer? Check the browsing history next time she gets one.

daSonofIsraphel · 2012-09-03T08:52:16+00:00

You got an up vote because I can relate to that

Akumu10 · 2012-09-02T16:48:02+00:00

If your parents don't need any windows-specific software, install a Linux distro. My dad pretty much only uses a web browser and word processing, so I installed Mint a few months ago. Haven't had to fix anything on that computer since.

RobertAPetersen · 2012-09-02T16:34:56+00:00

Well, some people's definition of "installing games" means "stole it from shady Russian BT site" so it's not totally unreasonable...

djkaleidoscope · 2012-09-02T16:11:52+00:00

I'd push your mums 40 something year old legs back and plow her like a corn field mate.

is_a_jerk · 2012-09-02T17:25:47+00:00

NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE

KOWguy · 2012-09-02T17:58:31+00:00

This is honestly the worst use of this meme I've seen and it is getting upvotes?

Kalyptro · 2012-09-02T08:36:36-07:00

OH MY GOD YES.

crunzy · 2012-09-02T10:27:09-07:00

Haha everytime...
