Today, I had a note to skip P.E. that my grandpa had written because my mom was busy. His handwriting is terrible, so they didn't believe that he'd written it. I'd twisted my ankle and I got to run another mile for "lying". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I ran the mile in gym class. I was the second to last person to finish, and I was left panting and feeling faint. When the teacher found out I hadn't come in dead last, he accused me of skipping a lap and is now making me rerun the entire thing. FML
Today, I had a swollen knee, and was slowly limping to the toilet. All of a sudden, my mom ran past me, beating me to it. As she closed the door, she said, "AT LEAST I CAN RUN!" FML
Today, I was running to my car, slipped, and slammed my head on the car door. I started driving to the hospital because it was bleeding profusely and I was dizzy, I called my mom to tell her what had happened. She said I was grounded for "goofing off" and that she was "sick of my shit". FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, a fifth grader gave me a note from his "father" excusing him from PE. It was riddled with spelling errors and shockingly poor grammar, so I rejected it as a blatant fake. Several hours later, I was informed by his very angry father that it wasn't actually fake. FML
Today, I had to run a timed mile. I'm terrible at running. During the run, I thought I was doing a good job. That is, until the teacher told me to stop because I was three laps behind everyone else. FML
Today, I broke my leg. My mom told me I still have to go to tennis class tomorrow because the course isn't refundable. FML
Today, my legs were really sore from working out yesterday, so it hurt going down the stairs at work. To avoid the pain, l ignored how stupid I looked and limped down the staircase. When I finally got to the bottom, I hopped off the last step. And twisted my ankle. FML
Today, I texted my mom if she could pick me up from the hospital. She replied, "No fatty, walk home." I have a broken foot. FML
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Apparently only kids in school are allowed to have poor handwriting these days...shoulda said your grandpa was a doctor, that'd clear it right up

Oww. If those staff suspected anything, couldn't they have checked the ankle? Our staff could have.

Couldn't they have called to verify? This happened to me in the 3rd grade. My mom's first language is japanese, so her english at the time wasn't perfect, and the sick note had a misspelled word in it and there was no capitalization. The teachers accused me of writing it. Then I saw 3 of them all together making fun of the note my mom wrote. Saying how "stupid and uneducated" she was for writing it. She learned english on her own, and I'd like to see those ******* try to learn to read and write japanese flawlessly and get made fun of. After 26 years, I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I hated teachers ever since.

Some teachers should never be teachers. Thugs are thugs, regardless of the names they give themselves.

My first language is English and I have taught myself to speak and write Japanese. I have mad respect for your mom in her efforts, and on top of that I have even more respect for the fact that she actually tried to learn English unlike many of those that come to English speaking countries. I must say though, when she showed up at the school yelling at them in Japanese so much that they piss themselves, that's when you say "high-five mom!" lol

OP if you managed to run a mile on a twisted ankle I'm impressed. That shit hurts!

In my experience if you have ANY issues at all with teachers you're going to lose unless your parents get involved. Maybe OP was shy and couldn't just refuse the teacher in front of everybody.

Should have had them call your grandpa

I would have left and went to the office to complain because it isn't your fault that someone has bad handwriting.

In addition to your ankle, I think your backbone is damaged, OP. When something like that happens, you simply refuse. They cannot physically force you to run, and if they try, have them up for assault.
