Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML

Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML

Op I can relate, I was told to apologize to an African foreign exchange student because I'm white. They denied that I most of my family lived in the north and my other family came to America after WWI.

Honestly, it's getting ridiculous, I was told I was politically incorrect for referring to people as "sir" and "ma'am". Transgender, fine, but these made up genders, bigender, agender, genderfluid, and having to ask people "what pronouns do you prefer?" is just getting way too far.

I'm all for supporting people's identities, but there comes a point where it feels people are doing it to be "special snowflakes".

People say that it's scientifically linked that misgendering a trans person can cause them to commit suicide. It's bullshit. Everyone decides how to react to things, commiting suicide is a choice.

Today, my parents used to tell that me life gets way better after high school. Yeah, for everyone else at my school. They’re partying it up in college or travelling during gap years, meeting all sorts of people. I have to work more than full time because my parents kicked me out the week after I graduated. FML

Today, I fell asleep while using my laptop. The next thing I know, it's 8am and my dad is screaming at me for posting "u skank-ass cunt-face" on my mom's Facebook timeline. I never made that post, but he won't believe me. My asshole brother, meanwhile, can't stop smirking at me. FML

Today, I had a small get together in my backyard. My idiot sister got blackout drunk and found a stray cat.

Today, I was masturbating on my inflatable air mattress that squeaks when you move. Suddenly, my mom burst into my room to ask if I was okay because she thought the squeaking was me crying. I ripped my hands from my pants and turned on my side; she walked over and grabbed my hands to console me. FML
