Today, I spent all day doing a project for myself and then for a friend who's sick. Turned out it was a prank everyone in the class was pulling on me. I missed a baseball game because of it. FML

Today, I was planning on enjoying my one day off work from the hospital, at home. I got a call saying I had to come in because my department was short-handed. I went in to find almost everyone there. Turns out it was a prank by my coworkers. FML

Slacking

Today, I spent most of the day doing a project for school. When I finished, I got a call from my project partner. She couldn't finish her part because her internet didn't work. When I finally finished everything, I went on Facebook. She was on Facebook too. FML

April Fool

Today, I was told an assignment that was supposed to be due in a week and a half is due today. I crammed all night and ended up getting 3 hours of sleep. Turns out it was an April Fool's prank. FML

Today, in class my friend played a joke on me by pulling my seat from under me while i was about to sit. I fell and everybody laughed at me. During the next class, I did the same thing to him. He broke his arm. He was the star of the basketball team. Nobody laughed. FML

Today, I finished a 6-part project. It took me 7 hours of straight work because my partner decided I should do it alone. I then learned that the reason my partner did not help me was because the teacher e-mailed the leader of every group, saying the project was cancelled. FML

Today, at school, everybody wanted to be my partner for a project. This surprised me because nobody ever wants to be with me. Turns out when I was absent, my teacher promised that whoever was my partner would get extra points on the project. FML

Great prank guys, love it

Today, after working like a caffeine-fuelled thunderstorm for 9 hours straight on an art project, my 2 friends informed me that it was due next week. I slept for 10 hours, and then went to my class without my project, thinking I lucked out in the long run. Clearly not, as it was due today. FML

Today, after missing college for a week due to illness, I found out my "friends" were bullshitting me about us having to write an important no-extension Biology essay. Copious amounts of my sweat, snot and tears went into that desperation-fueled nightmare. Thanks, dickheads. FML

Today, I asked my friend to hand in my homework for me since I have tonsillitis. She thought it would be funny to draw a big heart on it with my teacher's name inside, which she then handed in. FML

don't see how that's a prank considering it isn't even funny, I don't know what they have to gain from doing that.

Regardless of it being a "prank," why the hell were you doing a second project for a friend? They would have to be really sick to be incapable of research and the like, which I find highly unlikely.

Exactly what I was wondering. I don't care how sick a person is, I'd never do their homework for them. They can do it themselves when they get better. I'm a little confused about the wording here though. Was the prank that there was no project or that your friend was sick? Either way... lame prank

How does the whole class see that as a prank? Just sounds like a pile of kids being asshats to me. Sorry people took advantage of you OP.

Pretend not to know anything and turn project in. Worst case scenario - nothing will happen, but hey you already have a project so trying to get something of it is better than doing nothing. Better scenario - you get extra points in class. Best scenario - everyone else gets to do the project, and you can flip them off. Wasting time and work of others is a shitty prank anyway.

OP, is it something that could actually qualify as credit for the class? Have you told your teacher what happened? If it was me, seeing the time and effort you put in, I would totally give you extra points and make sure that "joke" backfired on your friends.
