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

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?

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

That's not so bad.. Should've seen the middle school I went to. Even if you got payed 1,000 a week, you would quit within the first month. The kids were disruptive, distracting, interrupted class to talk about their grandpa and other relatives. (I live in the south-it's horrible.) and they never raised their hand. I was probably the only one that did so. But don't worry about me.. I'm going to one of the best high schools in the state. It has a silver metal :D. I love to brag about it.

First of all; if a teacher can't gain control of their students, that's a sign of an incompetent teacher. Secondly, while its all well and good to be proud of yourself, your achievements are not relevant to the rest of the comment or the FML.

Sorry OP. Kids suck.

I've had too many teachers that hate what they do and the students end up suffering from it. Do your self and your students a favor and consider a career change. It's never too late.

Eh, I can't blame the teacher nicknames can be fun, but if you have 20+ kids doing that every day and don't let it go it's going to get grating even with those with a sense of humor. I remember our entire media class back when sinked up hamsters dance on all 20+ comps in the lab for our professor. We did it once for fun, but if it was a regular thing he'd have reason to be pissed off.

Maybe try looking around for other prospects? What were you looking for in a career? Money/environment/commitment/respect? Why did you want to get into community college teaching? Honestly four year institutions and such look down on community college, so perhaps try to get different experiences under your belt to make you a more attractive candidate? If you don't have your doctorate yet go get it, if you do then check in on any contacts you had and see if they know of any opportunities outside teaching.
