Today, I returned to my teaching job at a local community college after surfing for the weekend. I'd got sunburned, one student immediately noticed and said to me, "Morning, Mr. Pinky!" Now they all do it. My students are assholes. I hate teaching. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was badly sunburnt even after making it a point to apply a lot of sunscreen. My coworkers thought it amusing to slap me every chance they get. FML
Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML
Today, I made the egregious mistake of going on RateMyTeachers. My students think that, while I'm a good teacher, I have constant "wardrobe malfunctions" and spill my "bloody ass tampons all over the place like a bitch". I teach 6th graders. FML
Today, I went to my job as an aide for first-grade students. I went home with a swollen face after my student punched me because I was, "making the timer go too fast" and he wanted more iPad time. FML
Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML
Today, I caught one of my students checking out my butt while I was helping another student at his table. I teach 8th grade. FML
Today, I went to attend my summer school class again after being out sick for a week. When I said "Here" during roll call, everyone started cheering and clapping. Apparently, my professor has been badmouthing me while I've been absent for pretending to be sick. I'm sure my grade will be fantastic. FML
Today, a student set me on fire while I was lecturing my class about proper lab safety. FML
Today, a student told me to fuck off. I work with 3 year-olds. FML
Today, after being annoyed one too many times by my students' whiney attitudes, I accidentally blurted out, "Quit being such a bitch," to the superintendent's daughter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

They probably mess with you because you can't take a joke. I personally love to mess with people who can't take a joke, and I'm sure others do as well

u should fail them
TheNewGuy03 29
Yes, fail your entire class because they are playfully ribbing you, instead of just growing some thick skin and showing resilience. Seems legit.

That would just give them even more time to make fun of him.

You could be called much worse. Lobster, shrimpy, sour patch kid, girl who stuffed her face in a Doritos bag. Mr. Pinky is a walk in the park.

36, art thou irritated brethren?

Ah yes, the blonde card. The whimsical cousin of the race card and the gender card. Or it could be that people are picking on you because your comments aren't exactly eloquent. Or maybe they're just assholes in general. Your pick.

Or because in one comment she not only made the Internet's most hated grammatical error, but she also used LOL, and stereotyped teenagers, all in one line. Quite the achievement.

And, since OP teaches at a community college, his students might not even all be teens. So there's also that.

If that makes you hate teaching, then you sir are weak.

Don't respond to it, by responding you are giving them a reaction which will make them continue calling you the name you hate so much. If you ignore it or pretend it's super cool they'll get bored...

If you hate being called "Mr. Pinky" then why do you continue by calling yourself that in this FML?
kingdomgirl94 29
Because that's what everyone is calling him? Its like someone complaining about being called fat and their username being Fatty because that's what there were called and its relevant to the FML.

Go along with it and act like it doesn't bother you. Hopefully they'll stop thinking it's funny..
