Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my math TA showed the class how one of her "dumb" students answered a test question. Everyone laughed as she wrote out the students answer, including myself, until I looked down at my answer sheet and saw that I submitted an identical answer. FML
Today, I realized that my Twitter profile was very public when my business professor made fun of student tweets in class. My tweet went, "Totally bullshitting this business report" about the report I'd just handed in, worth a large portion of my grade. FML
Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML
Today, I got a question wrong on an exam. The question started with, "In your opinion..." FML
Today, I finally realized how stupid I am, when I answered a question correctly in class and my teacher started clapping and cheering. FML
Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. FML
Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML
Today, I worked up the courage to ask a question in a packed lecture hall. The professor repeated my question, except he'd misheard me and rephrased it into something wildly incorrect. The class laughed. Instead of correcting him, I nodded. Now half the class thinks I don’t understand the difference between correlation and causation. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least he didn't name you specifically.

That's not right, he shouldn't post that kind of stuff about his students online.

Report him to the dean and school board immediately. A professor has no right to do something like that.

Write a complaint. A well written one.

If you can, file a complaint. That's pretty rude of him to do.

to many crybabies commenting. stop being so politically correct. the prof. has freedom of speech and he is exercising it. he didn't use your name. too bad.

Not everyone is from the US. OP is Canadian

Um, Canada has freedom of speech. Are you really so arrogant as to think you're the only free country in the world?

I saw that he was from Canada. they also enjoy freedom of speech. unless I missed something.

Canadian law allows for free speech - as long as the rights of others are being respected. Since it was OP's teacher (meaning he has authority over OP) and he made the comment in a public forum he can be prosecuted under Canadian anti bullying and harassment laws. That doesn't happen all the time of course, but if OP makes a complaint to the University the teacher will face a very real risk of losing his job (and possibly his teaching license) over this.
