Sometimes whenever I need to do something on my dad's pc, I usually do it lightning quick, and make a little mistakes here and there. He just says 'SEE WHY YOU'RE MAKING ALL THESE MISTAKES?! YOU'RE DOING IT TOO FAST' It's not like I don't know what I'm doing, shut up

He calls me through to ask for help with something then complains because I do it too fast for him to learn. Which is fair enough I suppose.

My principle once got me out of class to help him get his ipod to sync with his computer. The only awkward part was I was alone in his office and the PE coach walks by and thinks I'm trying to hack it or something because I was holding the ipod (which was plugged into the computer) in my hand.
I would have said it was a virus. That excuse has gotten me out many a situation.
My mom told me she got Transformers on Blu-Ray and I was like "That's great." and then I saw the case and I found out that it wasn't the Blu-Ray version, it was the HD-DVD version. We don't have an HD-DVD player. How the hell did she mess that up? She either couldn't tell the difference, or thought that my PS3 could play HD-DVD.
Whenever I'm browsing the internet and my dad starts to walk near my screen, I minimize it and open up a new browser with flash tetris. Never once has he asked me why I'm always playing tetris :v:
Forgot to do a paper, typed a whole bunch of wingdings and bullshit all over a word document, said it got corrupted, had an extra day to "retype" it.

Was in a boring class, me and my friend was doing some C++, some other guy in our class was talking to my friend over facebook, he was like: Friend: I'm doing C++. Other guy: So you have it on a memory pen. Friend: No it's a programming language. Other guy: No C++ is an addon. :doh: FYI: Other guy was programming VB.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;26349297]Forgot to do a paper, typed a whole bunch of wingdings and bullshit all over a word document, said it got corrupted, had an extra day to "retype" it.[/QUOTE] I've done it a fair share of times. Once we had to make a video for English class but we weren't finished yet. So I gave her a DVD that had a burned backup Xbox game on it. Windows Explorer kept crashing in an infinite loop on her computer because Windows had no fucking clue what to do with it. I didn't expect that to happen, but it worked. "Uh, I guess I burned a bad copy". "Well, I suppose stuff happens sometimes. Just bring it in tomorrow and make sure it works." :haw:
Playing a game when mum wants me to turn the computer off? "Hold on i gotta get to a save point"
[QUOTE=Symmetry;26281659]I'll bet that his mom didn't actually believe him. She just took the first chance she could get out of scolding him, because damn that's awkward.[/QUOTE] Why get out of the room and confront him in the first place then? She could have just ignored it by that logic.

Woah fuck Neon.. that sounds horrible..
My dad told me once to stop playing games with online components so much because people could transmit viruses through them.
when my parents want me to get off CS:S or TF2 i tell them that i gotta get to a save point
When I was a kid, I borrowed a friend's Grand Theft Auto 3 and told my parents it was a racing game.
Well, the passwords for the teachers' accounts here are the first 5 letters of their name. Now I can lock them out of the system :awesome: And I changed some presentation about the language classes into gay porn Does that count? Also, every-fucking-one here doesn't fucking know how to plug the mouse/keyboard into the computer. Geez
Doesn't anybody on Facepunch have any privacy? My parents [B]never[/B] go through my private things without asking first.
My parents think that I have magic powers because every time they yell at me the internet mysteriously goes down. QoS ftw.
people who think computers or browsers are only for social networking sites and youtube along with PCs only being able to play flash games
One time I forgot to write an english paper that was due by Monday, so I opened up an old essay that I did for the class, renamed it, converted the entire text to ̴̡͖̖̤̙͙ͭZ̴̨̘̩̭̩̖̫̗̬̯͖̩̥̘̳̥̣͎̝͊ͥ̅̈́̔̆̌̀͊̈ͬ͢͠A̧ͥͧ͒̓̌ͩͩ͒̒̾ͥͭͯ̽͌͏̳̙͖̗̟̭̬̹̘̘Ļ̵͔͙̖͚̍̈̋ͧ̉͌ͧͫ̽̀ͪͦ̀̽̑̚͘͝Ģ̴̴̭̘̜̜͉̭̰͔͖̗͉̤̩̥͎̰̻̜̪̿ͯ̆̿̋̔͌ͬ̊̊̔͂͒̔̽͑́̌O̷̰͓͓̜̣̫̱͔͛̒ͨ̄͆͟ and sent it to my teacher. Teacher flipped, called me up to the class and told me to resend it to her. [img]http://gyazo.com/d2b2d7d1edc0a1483cdde8e0d0b89d35.png[/img]
My teachers never ask you to send any physical copies to you, we have to print them and send it to them.
[QUOTE=Spetzaz;26370245]Doesn't anybody on Facepunch have any privacy? My parents [B]never[/B] go through my private things without asking first.[/QUOTE] My parents give me privacy on my computer's. My parents quite frankly don't give a fuck what I do on the computer unless it makes a lot of noise. The closest my mom gets to my computers is my laptop, and she uses the Guest account so its not like she can really see anything anyway.
Two things, Back long ago in school. (Allright, wasn't THAT long ago, 7 years.) We plugged a wireless mouse into a teachers computer, hilarity ensued during a presentation Aswell, as in college i renamed a .exe to "Coursework.docx" and sent it, to give myself a few extra days, blaming it on the software at the the college.
i used to corrupt my movies in media class because I didn't feel like doing them. It was really easy
And then she talks to her friends who are a bit less inept and she will be like "porn mode? wtf?"
