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.

When I was buying my last car I overheard a couple huffing and making a big show of walking out over the trade-in offer they were given for their vehicle. The sales person responded they could have offered a lot more if the oil had ever been changed in the vehicle

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.
