    When I was a kid I visited my grandparents and since there was still only Internet Explorer on their terrible computer I decided to install Firefox.

    Unfortunately the computer power supply died right after I did.

    Therefore my Firefox installation was determined to be the root cause of the computer being ruined.

    So yeah, Firefox apparently kills power supplies in some folklore.

      When I came home for summer break after my freshman year of college I had to use my mom’s car to get around. Well my mom is the absolute worst person when it comes to auto maintenance. The 3rd day I was home and driving her car her engine blew a piston rod because the piston ceased in the cylinder. Turns out my mom never changed the oil. Like never ever. But because it happened while I was driving it was all my fault. I “must have been racing or doing something that caused the problem”. 25 years later she still thinks it was something I did.

      My mother is like this but worse. Some sort of tech in the house doesn’t behave as she expects? It’s obviously caused by that time I used it 3 months ago. It doesn’t matter that it worked just fine between then and now, everything is my fault.

      I can’t wait until she’s finally dead.
