No good deed and all that

By Sam - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - Belgium

Today, on the way to an exam, I saw a car accident happen. I stopped, helped the woman who was injured, and waited for the paramedics. I was late to school, the teacher didn't buy my excuse, and I failed the exam. It was an exam to test my first aid skills. FML

FYL. That's irony, and I hope that teachers feel bad when they realize its true. If they ever do.

It would've been funny if something happened to your teacher, asked you for help and you replied with "I failed, remember?!" ;D

How dare some people on here put an exam before someone else’s life. if we all thought our 'exam,' 'work,' or 'date' was more important than stopping to help someone than this world would be a sad sad place. The OP did the right thing, it shows that they are a good human being who puts real life ahead of a piece of paper that serves as a measurement of aptitude. I am sure you can obtain proof from the paramedics for records of the accident serving as proof that you were indeed present and provided possibly life saving assistance to help this woman. Worse come to worse, if the professor still refuses to give you the test (which goes against most school/university codes) you can take it up with the board. Good luck, I am sure you will be fine.

@56 my exact words. It is a sick minded person who thinks their exam is worth more than a human life. Get a note from the medics, go to the head of schools, do whatever you yanks do when the education system screws you over and i'm sure you'll be fine and dandy. Be proud you helped someone!

All these people who are saying that they should have ignored the accident, and gone to the all-important exam, you're full of it. THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE DOES. They assume someone else will take care of it, so NO ONE does. It's a common human characteristic, it even has a name (that I can't think of at the moment), and you're giving in to it. Way to go. OP, good on you for stopping. Appeal this shit with your Dean, raise absolute hell if you have to. This is plain-not-fair, I don't care what your bitchy teacher says.

I think you did the right thing!! What if that were any of you laying there needing help after having a car accident? I know I'd want someone to stop and help me!! I praise you for doing the right thing, even if something bad came out of it. Karma will come back and reward you!!
