Today, I gave a group presentation. Because I didn't know the last names of my group members, I'd put fake ones in, intending to replace them later. I forgot to change them and I ended up giving a presentation alongside a very angry Greg Penishead and Josh Acne. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a big presentation at work and I was feeling really confident. I'd practiced it over and over and I knew it inside out. But when I got up to speak, I realized I had left my notes at home. I ended up winging it and it was a disaster. FML
Today, I had to give a presentation at school about King Richard III. I realized too late that someone had changed his name to "King Dick" on all the slides. My little sister later broke into hysterics and confessed this had been her April Fool's prank. FML
Today, I had to do a presentation. No one else in my group showed up, so I had to do it alone. I was given a failing grade for presenting by myself, and therefore not being a "team player". FML
Today, I was doing a PowerPoint presentation in front of my whole class, when I accidentally clicked on the folder that has zillions of pictures of my crush. He's one of my classmates. FML
Today, I had a presentation for my university class. The bus was 5 minutes late, and I ended up getting to class right on time. As I took a seat, my group was asked to present. I panicked and totally bombed my presentation. FML
Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML
Today, while giving a brief presentation at work, I blanked out on what I was going to say. I tried to make a joke and tell them I'd had a brain fart, but all I managed to say was, "I farted." Well, at least they all laughed. FML
Today, it was my first day. HR handed me a badge with my photo and… someone else’s name printed in big letters. I spent the whole morning being introduced as “Greg” to people who said, “Nice to meet you Greg.” By lunch I’d corrected maybe 3 people and reinforced everyone else’s assumption that my real name was Greg. FML
Today, I had to give a presentation on ancient civilizations. As a joke, my friend dared me to do the whole thing using puppets, which I thought it would be hilarious. Halfway through, I noticed the look on my professor's face and my classmates giggling. My professor has a phobia of puppets and I was the only one unaware of this fact. FML
Today, I gave a presentation for my final on class. While I was giving the speech my shirt strap broke. I ended up flashing everyone including the teacher. At least I got an A. FML

Why didn't you use normal fake names ?

Okay, even if this was a temporary thing that you were going to change... If these people aren't ones you know well enough to know their last names, why do you think it would be okay to give them ridiculous last names? They may not be too happy about that if you're not close and it might have ended badly even if you did change it before the presentation, but they happened to see it before.

Why didn't you just contact them and ask their last names? If you were doing a group project with them, you should've had their contact info.

You could have just left their last names out until you knew them. The 'fake' ones such as acne sound pretty judgemental to me.

I did something similar but not near as bad when I was in high school... I learned that no matter how much you intend on changing something like that later, sometimes you mess up and skip something on accident. Or you run out of time. YDI OP, next time just leave it blank.

Wow, OP! I'm sure you're a funny and amazing person, but for this, YDI! Like another person said, you could have contacted the peeps in your group for their last names!! I'm always one to agree that lives suck, however, I can't defend you here! hahaha

Too bad there's not something like Facebook these days. Or email. Your ignorance of their last names are then "totally" justified. -.-

I'm sorry but this is hilarious! Probably something I'd accidentally do too. lol

Personally, I would have left a blank space or would have written comman surnames. You kind of deserve it OP.

You got caught being mean. I don't blame them for being mad at you. You deserve it.

You definitely asked for it. Try "smith" next time for a random last name. Or save you some embarrassment and don't put anything.
