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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got my first university math midterm back. I did so bad that my teacher put a sadface on the first page. FML
Today, disappointed with my results on a mathematics test, I went over it and realized my teacher had added up the marks incorrectly, leaving me with 17% less than I earned. The person who's supposed to be teaching me math can't even perform basic arithmetic. FML
Today, my math teacher brought his laptop to tally up all our scores for our report card. He then displayed the results on a big screen in front of the whole class. The ones who failed were marked yellow. I was the only one marked yellow. FML
Today, I got my multivariable calc final back, only to realize that the ten points I got off was for putting 10 + 15 = 35 on a problem. My teacher wrote ten question marks and “No???? 25???? :(“ next to it. FML
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 cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML
Today, I got my science test back. I thought I did a horrible job on it, but only three were circled. I was happy but doubtful that I did so well, so I asked my teacher just to make sure. He said it was faster to circle the correct answers. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. 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
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. 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!

I don't think this warrants and FML. If you did this badly, you didn't study hard enough and you deserve it. The teacher was just disappointed in you, and not wanting to disappoint my teacher was actually my greatest motivation in high school. I'm sure if you took the initiative to see the professor, he/she would gladly help you through. The professor is not your parent, he/she doesn't owe you an explanation on paper if you didn't study your notes and ask for help when needed because chances are that most people that fail don't spend much time looking at the explanations anyways. If you're determined to succeed, you'll go see your professor on your own.

Has anyone considered the (outside) possibility that the "OMG" was expressing awe at the brilliant new solution that OP had just discovered?

I would laugh from shock at first. Then I'd feel irritated and my day would be damped. Mostly because the teacher felt it unnecessary to fix my errors (though in math I mess up on like the entire thing).

I'm a TA and I've done something like this. The student knew they were going to to horrible, so they tried to make me laugh (I have a policy if you can make me laugh, you get at least 1 point for each question that you answer with something funny). There were 20 questions - they got 20 points. It was out of 100, but 20 is better than nothing.
