Animals, Kids, Cats, Education and Teachers: I hate my job - FML

I hate my job

By norestforthewicked - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my girlfriend's deaf and senile cat listens to my verbal instructions better than my completely healthy middle school students listen to me. FML

Teachers, at least teachers in the US anyway, should get paid a lot more than they do. The crap they endure is almost on par with that of cops or prison guards, with the added risk of ignorant and unruly parents or the kids just making shit up about them that can ruin their lives, true or not. I respect the hell out of anyone with the patience to run four or five classes a day and not finish Friday afternoon by picking the worst one of them up by the ankles and using that one to beat the shit out of the rest of them. You're a teacher? You're a badass. Let no one say otherwise.

As for the students, I suggest a change in some classroom rules or possibly some phone calls home. Depends on what you're dealing with. Also, to look on the bright side, it's halfway to March, which means only 4 1/2 months left of them! Hopefully next year will be better? Best of luck, OP.

Why don't you just go teach at a school for old, deaf cats? Problem solved!

Congrats. You teach middle schoolers. That's why schoolteachers need hazard pay...

Today, I took my 16 year-old daughter to get a bank account, taking her birth certificate with us as requested. When the teller wrote her name down on a piece of paper, my daughter said, "How do you know my name?" The teller just looked at her and held up her birth certificate. I raised a nitwit. FML

Today, my otherwise lovely boyfriend of a month showed his true colors. He freaked out when he learned that I use tampons instead of pads. He yelled that using them is like cheating on him, because his penis is the only thing that should ever enter me. FML

Today, my boyfriend mansplained to me that because Loki likes both boys and girls, he’s bi, not gay. I’m bi, and my boyfriend knows this. FML

Today, at my work, I was ringing though a kid's purchase. I try to be friendly with the kids and when he handed me his cash I said "Thank you, sir!" in a playful manner. He then turns to his mom and says "Mom, why does everyone think I am a boy?". FML

Today, I stretched really hard when I woke up, only to feel something twang. This was followed by a really sharp pain. Thinking I'd given myself a hernia, I got up to check myself in the mirror, and was repulsed by the bulge I saw hanging out of my gut. Then I realised it was just my own flab. FML

Today, I was driving down a highway during rush-hour. I heard my phone ring and couldn't find it. I bent down to feel around for it and got in an accident and totaled my car. The ringing? A commercial on the radio. Where was my phone? On my dresser at home. FML

Today, I was working in a call center when I smelled perfume. I'm allergic, and it triggered my asthma. When I came back, some jerk had sprayed it all over my work area. I couldn't go near it for the rest of my shift, therefore I had to go home early, and got my paycheck docked. FML

Today, my dad came home from a trip to Arizona and brought back special hand-picked gifts for the whole family. When he got to me, he smiled, and pulled out a free lotion from the hotel at which he was staying. FML
