Today, I asked my students to buy a copy of Anne Frank's diary for an assignment. One of them asked me in all seriousness who wrote it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML
Today, my students all handed in their 1,000 word papers. The assignment was for them to write about a strong, benevolent leader who influenced the world. Around half of the papers were about Hitler. FML
Today, I got an A+ on a writing assignment. My teacher asked me three times if I really did write this article myself, and didn't memorise an article from the Internet. FML
Today, I finished my position paper for my social studies class and read it to my mom to get her opinion on it. After I'm done reading it, she asks me if I copied it from somewhere because it sounded very professional and smart, and it didn't sound like me. FML
Today, I asked my friend to hand in my homework for me since I have tonsillitis. She thought it would be funny to draw a big heart on it with my teacher's name inside, which she then handed in. FML
Today, I turned in an essay about a book I'd read over the summer. My teacher later called me to her desk and began to gush about how interesting the book sounded and asked to borrow my copy. The book I wrote about isn't real, and the main characters are named after my childhood pets. FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML
Today, I was reading my students' Halloween stories I made them write for my creative writing class in high school. One of my students wrote about attacking me. She got my street address perfect and everything. FML
Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You know what's ridiculously frustrating? My sister has graduated high school and does not know who Anne Frank is. But the thing is, I borrowed Anne Frank's diary from her years ago. I just... How does she not know who Anne Frank is? How does one not know who Anne Frank is?? This is something that truly bothers me.

I've known about Anne Frank since like 6th grade.

@#94: Last time I was getting my hair cut, the hairdresser was making small talk and asked me what I do. I told her that I teach at a museum. She asked what. I told her that I teach the Holocaust. She stopped mid-cut, looked up and asked, "The what?" I thought perhaps it was because there was loud music on and she hadn't been able to hear me properly, so I repeated, "I teach the Holocaust." She stared blankly and asked, "What's that?" I couldn't believe it. I said, "You know, World War II, when Hitler tried to kill all the Jews in Europe, and other people he hated as well?" She still stared blankly. I gave her a brief summary - crazy guy who started WWII, and hated everyone except people with blonde hair and blue eyes, who tried to kill everyone he hated. I decided not to make it any more complex than that. She nodded and kept on cutting. Meanwhile, I was thinking to myself, "This woman has got to be almost thirty years old, and she has already mentioned the fact that she has kids. I just hope they pay more attention in class than it seems she did..." What can you do? *sigh*

What's an Anne Frank? Is it a type of hotdog?
LanceGoodthrust 19
I think that's Oscar Meyer's daughter

No, a hot dog is meat. They are clearly talking about her dairy.

I don't think this thread is funny, Anne Frankly think you should stop.

Why the FML? Just because it's titled 'Anne Franks diary' doesn't mean it has to be written by her.

Honor students, I see.

They probably meant it as a shorter way of asking if it's a literal diary, or if it is a work of fiction.
