Dad shoots laptop has become a huge search term on Friday, after a YouTube video started going viral because a man who identifies himself as Tommy Jordan emptied his handgun into a laptop that allegedly belongs to his daughter, Hannah.
The father posted the video on his daughter's Facebook page because he found a letter on that very page in which she was complaining about all the chores she had to do.
"Today was probably the most disappointing day of my life as a father and I don't know how to correct the situation," Jordan wrote on Wednesday, posting a link to the YouTube video that has gotten more than 1.8 million views. "Since I can't seem to make any headway with my daughter on Facebook, I chose instead to remedy the problem permanently."
In the video Jordan is seen with a printed version of the letter, which he read aloud before emptying his gun into his teenage daughter's laptop.
Jordan said it was Feb. 7, 2012, and dedicated the video to his daughter Hannah and all her friends on Facebook who thought her "little rebellious post was cute." It was also for parents who thought "their kids don't post bad things on Facebook."

"She thought she being smart by blocking her parents from being able to see it," he said, adding that Hannah was grounded for about 3 months for doing something very similar. "And I would have thought with a father that worked in IT for a living you'd have better sense than to do it again."
Jordan said he spent six hours fixing Hannah's computer, spending more than $100 to upgrade it when he came across her Facebook post.
"Since you want to hide it from everyone I am going to share it with everybody," Jordan said.
The letter he read stated:
"To my parents,
I am not your damn slave. It is not my responsibility to clean up your sh-t. We have a cleaning lady for a reason. Her name is Linda, not Hannah. If you want coffee get off you're a-- and make it yourself. If you want to garden shovel the fertilizer yourself. Don't sit back on you're a-- and watch me do it. If you walk in the house and get mud all over the floor that I just cleaned be my guest. But clean it up after you're done getting sh-t everywhere. I'm tired of picking up after you. You tell me at least once a day that I need to get a job. You could just pay me for all the sh-t that I do around the house. Every day when I get home from school I have to do dishes, clean the counter tops, all the floors, make all the beds, do the laundry and get the trash. I'm not even going to mention all the work I do around your clinic and if I don't do all that every day I get grounded. You know how hard it is to keep up with chores and school work. It's freaking crazy. I go to sleep at 10 every night because I am too tired to stay up any longer and do anything else. I have to get up at 5 in the morning to get ready for school. On the weekends I have to sleep with my door locked so my little brother won't come get me up at 6 and I'm tired of this bullsh-t. Next time I have to pour a cup of coffee, I'm going to flip shit. I have no idea how I have a life. I'm going to hate to see the day when you get too old to wipe you're a-- and you call me asking for help. I won't be there.
Signed,
Your pissed kid Hannah.
Father addressed the letter saying that the lady who cleans the house, does it as a favor to trade off some services. He added that Hannah should never refer to the woman as a "cleaning lady."
