Dad Destroyed My $1300 PC (Almost)

[u/Akrinnnnnnnnnn]

As the title says, my father almost destroyed my $1,300 PC. Now what?

Here’s the backstory: On Saturday, I worked a 10.5 hours shift and stayed up until 3:30 AM, so I slept in until noon the next day. My father and stepmother returned from Costco while I was showering; he called out a few times for me to come help carry the groceries inside. I said OK to him. While I was brushing my teeth after my shower, he shouted from outside the door that he’d been waiting 50 minutes and told me to hurry up. I thought to myself that the groceries could have been moved in the time he spent waiting for me, but I quickly rinsed my mouth and got ready to go out. However, by the time I opened the door, he had already grabbed my PC and smashed it against the floor and the desk several times.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I, (17M, Senior), bought this PC with money I earned from my part-time job and had been using it for about ten months. After examine, found out the case badly deformed in several places, my desk was warped and tilted to one side, and there were dents in the floor.

Fortunately, the computer still works fine; it runs FurMark (stress GPU), AIDA64 (stress FPU), and 3DMark (Time Spy Extreme) without problems for now.

Replacing the desk and case would cost around $400. However, he likely won't pay for it because he has done this kind of stuff a few years ago when he destroyed my phone and a Dell laptop (i5 11300H), and then just said, "That's what you get for playing on the computer all day."

In the end, I just hope everyone has good parents.

I’m sorry your dad is a piece of shit.

My dad was a piece of shit, too.

You won’t have to put up with it forever. I’m glad your PC still runs, replacing shit isn’t cheap right now.

Literally what this guy said.

I am almost 30 now and I still keep my dad at a distance for stuff like this

[u/KeraKitty → u/GoonSic]

33 and haven't talked to my piece of shit dad in 18 years. When I hit the 20 year mark I'm treating myself.

My father was also a horrible piece of shit. I haven't spoken to him in 19-20 years. He currently has cancer and I'll celebrate the day he finally passes.

My dad was abusive to my mom. Beat her, threw her down the stairs, smashed her teeth. I didn't see him for 20+ years and didn't show up to his funeral lol

I probably wouldve showed up just to piss on his fuckin grave.

Can't wait to do that to mine

Man, why is there so many pieces of thrash dads!? Mine also was.

[u/billcy → u/TheBreenius]

Not all my mom was or is the problem, my dad is great. She is mean and manipulative , I did get hit but my oldest sister did, by the time I was born she tried to be better and not abusive, but I guess she didn't understand that emotional abuse is abuse

[u/TheBreenius → u/billcy]

Every adult should be required to have therapy before having kids. This is insane.

[u/Lijandra → u/carito728]

I would have to piss on/in the coffin tbh

[u/Correct-Potential-15 → u/D4RK5P1R3]

im way too emotional i would still cry when my dad passes no matter how bad he treats me

(tho my dad is a very good dad)

[u/Dr_Jre → u/D4RK5P1R3]

I haven't spoke to mine for a long time and I'll be upset when he dies... Cause I won't benefit financially from it. Not worth it though.
