Today, I purpose woke up early so that I could be prepared for a class taught by a professor who thinks I'm an idiot. This professor was the first to tell me that I'm 2 hours early and asked very slowly if I know how schedules worked. She seriously sounded concerned. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I got up and walked to college for my only class which started at 9 a.m. after a night of restless sleep. Our exam is two weeks away, so I thought it would be better to attend. Apparently, my teacher thought differently. FML
Today, I had to go meet my professor at 12. I wound up showing up almost an hour late. Why? Because she doesn't teach at the campus I registered at. I wound up having to visit TWO different campuses before I reached the right one. FML
Today, my professor let a guy into my philosophy class 30 minutes late because his excuse was, "Time is just an illusion." This is the same professor that kicked me out of the classroom for being 2 minutes late. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. 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 hitting on a girl who was getting ready to walk into the same class as me. We were waiting outside the room, so I told her that I'd heard the professor for the course was a total bitch. We walked into the room. I sat down at a desk. She stood behind the podium. FML
Today, I decided to show up to my new class an hour early, to be able to choose my seat, and figure out how the computer lab works… only to find out that the lab was locked and I had to wait until the professor unlocked it. FML
Today, I taught my first seminar as a teaching assistant. I prepared for hours and rehearsed and discussed it with the professor. Two students fell asleep, I said "shit" twice and I froze mid-sentence, then said, "Sorry guys, I have no idea what I'm saying." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That is a lot of preparation time, I would assume most people would think that anyone arriving 2 hours before anyone else has either got their times wrong or the student is having a hard time with the course.

I mean honestly, I would think you messed up with looking at the time, too. If you want to wake up early and be prepared, prepare at home, no need to arrive hours early. Be there at a normal time, just after preparations.

I would have taken that as you being a smart ass or bitchy. 2 hours is quite excessive. Early and prepared are good, but 2 hours...really?

I still don't understand the first sentence

This quite possibly has to be my favorite FML to date. Not only is the irony so thick, it can be spread with a knife, but you've self fulfilled your own idiotic prophecy. You don't want your professor to think you're an idiot, but you can't proofread your work enough to recognize that you've used an incorrect tense in your post, showing thousands of people that you're an idiot as opposed to just one. If that's not ironic, I don't know what is. And then you showed TWO hours earlier than you needed to to the very same class with the professor that finds you cumbersome, lock-and-keying your fate with her. If that's not straight up idiocy, I don't know what is. You sound young. I'm sure (I hope) you'll figure this all out with age and laugh about it when you're older. For now, take it with a grain of salt; you only have to live with this professor for four months anyway.

And yet you aren't helping the OP at all, but rather mocking him/her, which is not what this site is for #13.

Yeah, flash news here, this whole site is about mocking, not about helping.

I can understand 15 minutes early but two hours does seem a little extreme, especially since their previous classes are usually still going on at the time. Still FYL that he thinks that.

To be fair...she's not wrong. Two hours early doesn't exactly prove that your time keeping skills are any better than being 15 minutes late.

two hours is excessive. 10 or 15 minutes, tops, would have been fine.

I get that arriving to class two hours early is excessive, but the teacher still didn't need to be rude about it. Asking OP if they understand how schedules work seems a little bit condescending, to be honest.

why was the prof there two hours early??
latenerd 11
Thank you, that was my question. How would the prof even know unless *she* was 2 hours early -- -she must have had a reason so maybe he had a reason too? Prof sounds like a jerk, TBH.

Believe it or not, 29, professors do have things to do. Grade/look over papers, look over their lesson plans for the day's classes, etc. She may have also taught a class in that room previously, and didn't have office hours. Thus making it easier to just stay in the room.
