Today, it was the elections for Student Council President. I decided to be nice and vote for the only other competitor because it was her birthday. I lost by one vote. FML

Today, at the elementary school where I teach, the kids all voted for their favorite teacher. I was the only one to receive zero votes. When I asked a small group of students why no one voted for me, one boy replied "because you're the ugliest". FML

The candidate

By anonymous - 05/09/2012 13:51 - Australia - Mittagong

Today, I had to give a speech as part of my campaign for school captain. I was rather happy with it and so I told another candidate my speech. Apparently it was a good idea as minutes later that same candidate stole my entire speech, leaving me looking like a complete idiot. FML

Today, I ran for editor-in-chief of a magazine. I spent hours working on my speech, and offered a bunch of new ideas to increase readership. My opponent just said that she, "loved the organization". I lost by a 4-1 margin. My opponent later announced her plans for next year. They were all of my ideas. FML

Meritocracy doesn't exist

Today, due to nepotism, I lost to a competitor. They rarely contributed to the competition and were literally distracted all the way through. Their quality was pretty low as well, but they were friends with the judge. FML

Today, in my class I was nominated for the guy with the worst hairdo. I don't know what is worse, the fact that I was nominated or the fact that I felt let down when I did not win. FML

Classy Mom

By Meowitzer - 14/09/2019 22:00

Today, I was elected "class mom", even though I didn’t want to do it. I was also handed several envelopes in the hectic school hallway, containing parental cash contributions for the year. I lost several of the envelopes while rushing to my car, and now have to contribute €100 instead of €25. FML

Today, I had to crown the homecoming queen, a responsibility of mine as class president. It just happened to be that the queen is my ex-girlfriend that I still love, escorted by her new boyfriend. FML

Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML

Get her a birthday cupcake, but don't throw away your vote! Their are other and smarter ways to show your appreciation. She probably doesn't even know what you did, which is sad and makes you come off as a little bit of a martyr.

Wait, so you decided to "be nice" by voting for her, but didn't actually want her to win, thereby defeating the purpose of your "nice" gesture? It's a good thing you did, because obviousy you aren't smart enough to be class president.

Even if the OP had voted for itself it would've ended in a tie, in both cases the OP wouldn't have won...

rofl are you retarded? she mentioned the only other competitor is the one she voted one meaning there were 2 people competing she lost by 1 vote so if she voted on herself it means that the other person would have 1 less vote and she herself 1 more, therefor she would win by 1 vote. (example: other one had 101 she had 100, 101-1=100 100+1=101 she won) but i guess math is hard ; /

YDI for giving away your vote for so stupid a reason. With (lack of) judgement like that, what kind of a class officer would you have made?

u need two votes in order to win by one vote, so even if ur vote had not been there u would've tied anyway, plus in most places to be fair candidates cannot vote, so ure probably making this up
