Today, I came to school late because I had to drop off my daughter at school. When I got on campus, the security told me I was late but I said, "Oh no, I work here." and he said, "Oh like I haven't heard that one before." And he took me to detention. My boss, the Principal, had to bail me out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got detention at school because a girl told the principal I was stalking her on campus. I wasn't stalking her, we just have very similar schedules. FML
Today, I was yelled at and almost fired for showing up "late" to work. I was the first one here. FML
Today, one of my teachers yelled at me for being two minutes late to class. He was so concerned with my punishment that he didn't notice the four other people that walked in after me. FML
Today, I was fired for being late to work, even though the only reason I was late was because I had to stop at Starbucks to get my boss a drink. His son, who is at least 30 minutes late to work every day, was just walking in as I was walking out with all of my stuff. FML
Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them". FML
Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML
Today, I went to college, where I'm studying for my dream job. Despite getting up at 5am to catch the earliest bus into town, I arrived ten minutes late. My professor knows my circumstances, but is still threatening to kick me off the course if I don't "arrive on time like everyone else." FML
Today, moments after leaving early, my boss emails me asking if I'm in the office. After an illegal U-turn, running a stop sign, parking in a visitor spot, and sneaking back to my desk, I find out she was locked out of the building but had since found her keys and let herself back in. FML
Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML
Today, I forgot to bring a letter to my secondary school, so I went to detention. I told them it got lost, but it's only when my parents phoned and told them the same thing that they believed it. So I got detention for nothing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Something similar happened to a teacher friend of mine. She walked into the staff room and was told to get out as students weren't allowed in there.

#15 my school still had us do that. And other schools that don't require IDs for students still require them for staff...?

um... does it occur to anyone that looking like a high school kid might NOT be the OP's standard of beauty? if she got mistaken for a student at a university, i could see that maybe being flattering, but there's a big difference between being 30 and mistaken for a 22-year-old and being 22 (or 30) and mistaken for 15-year-old. physical appearances aside, there's a certain level of maturity generally acquired after high school, and it would definitely be insulting to be assumed not to have that, even if it's something that can't be determined on looks alone. i presume that a person working at a high school is likely to dress in a more professional manner than the students (although, i suppose there could be a strict dress code), which would make her look older and serve as another point of differentiation. in any case, if she looks young enough to be mistaken for a high school student, i can't imagine she's any older than 30 or so, in which case "looking young" is not likely to be high on her list of concerns. also, just because the security guard doesn't have any actual authority over her doesn't mean it would be so easy to just walk away. he THOUGHT he had authority over her, so if she had just tried to shrug him off, i'm sure he wouldn't have let it go. i suppose he might have just taken her to the principal's office, in which case the whole thing would have been over with a little quicker, but he might have also caused a scene, and i'm sure she was embarrassed enough as it was.
