Today, I had to give a joint presentation at college. My partner was so high, she couldn't even pronounce her own name properly in her introduction. I'm pretty sure her antics are going to get us both failed hard. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was supposed to give a presentation to the incoming freshman about the dangers of drinking in college. My co-presenter showed up drunk. FML
Today, I gave a big presentation at work, hoping to impress my boss and angle for a promotion. I was already nervous, but a co-worker at the back kept making goofy faces, causing me to repeatedly break into laughter. My boss accused me of being high, and suspended me on the spot. FML
Today, I had a really big debate in my English Class about the legalization of weed. My group had to state reasons why weed shouldn't be legal and no one except me had prepared. My partner came to class totally stoned. Our group lost the debate. We got an F. FML
Today, I had an important oral report to deliver with a partner. Not only did he come in late and high, he pronounced Virginia as "Vagina" the whole way through. FML
Today, I failed a final presentation. My partner, who did none of the research, presented the entire project, talking over me and glaring when I spoke up. He denied everything and the professor didn't believe me. Now I have to retake this class with the same professor. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation to my college class. I've had a natural stutter my whole life, so I stuttered through the whole thing. My professor tried to hold in her laughter for 15 minutes. FML
Today, I had to give a deposition ahead of a trial in which my former boss is accused of fraud. I'm not a smart man, and I smoked a joint before heading out to try to calm my nerves. I got way too high and ended up giggling like an idiot through half the deposition. FML
Today, at school, I have to do a 45 minute presentation with a girl who has panic attacks so bad that she cries, runs out of the room, and sometimes passes out. This presentation terrifies her and it's a major part of my final grade. FML
Today, while I was trying to explain to my friend how smoking weed everyday doesn't make you stupid, I forgot what I was talking about mid-sentence. FML
Today, I had to do a presentation. No one else in my group showed up, so I had to do it alone. I was given a failing grade for presenting by myself, and therefore not being a "team player". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, they don't call it a joint presentation for nothing, I guess.

I will never understand how some people could just throw their partners grade under the bus like that

As long as you did your part well, most professors will grade you separately. I'm pretty sure you're teacher won't blame you for your partner's altered state of mind

Throw her under the bus, now. Don't tolerate stupidity from anyone!

Lol, a "joint" presentation. Get it? Anyone? No? Okay. I honestly thought it meant a presentation on marijuana at the beginning though

tell her to knock her shit off and to smoke on her own time. please don't let some broad get you bad grades because she's stoned and can't get her shit together

This is great practice for the real world. In the real world, your boss isn't going to care why you ****** up the presentation. In fact, ,any bosses is probably going to be pissed that you didn't narc out your stoner partner before the fact. So the real question is: Is it better to be a snitch or a failure.

Many bosses, even. They will probably, however, reward the initiative of stepping in and doing your best to sideline the stoned presenter. If you know the project instead of just mastering your area of responsibility, you're management material.

yeah you're very right. didn't even think about any of that

I'm a dedicated lifetime marijuana enthusiast. Or as some people disparagingly say, a pothead. And I will tell you firsthand that if someone is high enough to not be able to pronounce their own name, they are too high to hide being that stoned while milling around waiting for the classroom to empty or the prof to get there. If he smoked a blunt before class, that odor would linger. Weedibles wouldn't leave the odor, but that level of sloppiness and lack of articulation would almost certainly be noticable during the last minute prep for the presentation. There is the possibility that the presentation was late in the class and weedibles have been known to creep up on people. But based on the fact that the partner showed up blitzed to a joint presentation, I'm skeptical that that is the case.

maybe it wasn't weed and she's just a typical junkie about to drop out and fund her dope habits by suckling dick.

OPs opportunity to tell was after it happened lol. you wouldn't go ahead of time anyways..."hey, professor, my partner might show up high" no. it's "hey, professor, I believe my partner was under the influence and I really don't want them to affect my grade nor do I want to work with them again" LOL so what do you mean "they may not have had an opportunity to tell" I smoke lots of weed. but I'm not stupid enough to go and **** up my responsibilities because "I'm too blazed bruh"

You're right. You wouldn't say that. But you could say, 'Hey prof. Can I talk to you a sec? I just tried to go over our presentation with my partner one last time and I think she's high as ****. Is this going to impact my grade? Can we get a deferment until next class?"

Depending on the teacher, you might ask if you can work on different projects individually instead of a team project. The worst she can say is no. I once got split off of a team I was badly compatible with - partially because it was an ethics course and they were taking the project as an opportunity to preach about the evils of GMOs (though Monsanto is evil) - though I will be honest and say I failed my responsibility and I could have done better. I ended up producing a pretty good project by myself and I remember my teacher (whose idea was it that I be split) beaming at me when she evaluated my project and I got a fairly good grade for it. Judging by the embarrassed looks they had after they got back from their evaluation, I'm hoping they didn't fare too well.

I'd say talk to your professor. As long as you handled your part of the presentation well, they should only fail her ass.

Talk to you're professor they are usually understanding about that.

Someone clearly doesn't have their shit together. **** her. Tell the professor why you deserve to be graded based on your performance, not hers.
