Totally believable story about le redditor's zany technologically inept dad!

Fuck /r/Tifu


I don't understand how I can constantly see reddit bitch about celebrities and pop culture being "le random" and quirky and then upvote this shit to the front page.

to which I reply "who? SumTing Wong?"

fucks sake, reddit loves its references even if they aren't relevant or funny in the context of its own made up stories

my Father loves printing shit. He probably loves printing shit more than he loves me. He probably loves printing even more than the dog I know he loves more than me.

Comic gold. Why not just say what he prints and add some depth to this fake story? This enitre story is based around the fucking guy printing whatever the fuck he prints.


No quotes needed here. Lets just ignore the part about pointlessly upgrading your dads personal computer and then leaving before its finished without telling him while knowing he is tech illiterate and short tempered. Its also a world where you live with your parents but do not tell them when you are leaving after just being with them. Even if we pretend thats normal then texting and phones must not exist in this world.


So le comedy master OP goes to a friends house then returns after an unexplained amount of time

I come back later to find the laptop on the floor, the printer in the sink and a brand new laptop on the desk in place of the old one. WTF.

WTF is right. Why would he put the fucking printer in the sink? The fucking thing that he apparently loves more than OP, his son, and this incredibly lovable dog OP mentions. This story has no continuity despite being less than 700 words long.

When I asked him about it he just said "that was a piece of junk, when I went to log on it had a virus, it was hacked, I couldn't print anything." He also breifly explained how a hacker named Cortana was taunting him so he threw the laptop on the floor and went and bought a new one...

OPs dad would have to do the post-upgrade configuration before being able to login and see Cortana. But lets pretend that there is no post-upgrade configuration and it takes you directly to the logic screen. OPs dad now logs on to find every icon exactly where it was pre-upgrade but is so distracted by the new Cortana search bar in the bottom left of his screen that he can't find his internet browser icon that would still be on the fucking desktop or whereever he is used to finding it. So distracted he becomes aggravated enough to throw the computer to the floor and then put his precious printer in the sink before storming immediately out to buy a new computer. OKAY.

He asks me if I could set up the printer to the new laptop

WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE HAVE PUT IT IN THE SINK IF HE WAS GOING TO BUY A NEW COMPUTER JUST TO USE THE FUCKING PRINTER. WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE HAVE BROKEN THE COMPUTER JUST TO BUY A NEW ONE FOR OP TO SET UP. WHY WOULDN'T HE JUST WAIT TO ASK YOU TO FIX WHATEVER MINOR ISSUE HE WAS HAVING. WHY COULDNT HE TEXT OR CALL YOU. OH THATS RIGHT BECAUSE /r/THATHAPPENED

(which I am pretty sure came with Windows 10...)

This is probably the truest part of the story because when I break my belongings for a minor reason out of anger and impulse I immediately go to the store to buy the same product. Never would I preview it in store or ask a store technician about the product that I supposedly know nothing about, I just buy it because my aspiring author of a son will be able to set it up for me. If he ever comes back from wherever he didn't tell me he was going.

I guess the upside is it didn't involve sex this time, right?


Wow I hated this. My vyvanse kicked in after I read the original post and I might have gotten carried away. Thats the best explanation I got for the length and depth.

Great find /u/topwewm8, I guess you could say there was SumTing Wong with this post.


P.S. If anyone can illustrate a desk setup that would be near enough a sink for that to be something you would angrily throw something in I will give you gold.
