Today, I refused to let two students into class because they were 15 minutes late. It turns out they were late because they had gone to buy me a birthday cake. FML
LimeyGoodteeth tells us more.
I am the original poster. It was an adult ESOL class. School policy - strictly adhered to - is that students can't be admitted if they are more than 5 minutes late and all students know this. Lateness is disruptive and disrespectful to other students. We all eventually had the cake later anyway!

That's what my cousin does. She shows up really late but she always has food for the teacher and says she was buying him food. Works like a charm. She is his favorite student.

Loll. I like how absolutely no one has replied to your comment. I like them arguing about what should be policy or not. Being a student is like having a full time job. How late will your boss let you be before it becomes an issue? How many times do you have to be late to get fired? Hahahaha....idiots.

Oh Kritz, you always end your messages with such irony.

If I were you, I probably would have mentioned the fact that it's school policy in the FML. This site seems to be populated mostly by teens and it comes across as douchey otherwise.

It was my choir reacher's birthday today, and this sounds like him. I actually might be suspicious, but this fml is in the UK. And OP, at least you didn't make one of them wear a giant sombrero and stand in the corner. That's what mine does XD

You think that's bad my chorus teacher in high school would throw one of her high heel shoes at anyone that kept talking after slamming the piano keys.
