Today, I spent an excruciating hour walking to campus with a broken leg, only to find my professor had left a note on the door saying class was canceled. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I drove 3 hours to get to a class, just to have the professor leave a note on the classroom door saying that she wasn't coming. FML
Today, I drove to my college campus for my 8 a.m. class, parked, walked the mile and a half to my classroom, just to find out class had been cancelled. The prof didn't send an email because she couldn't remember her password. I paid $1200 to be taught by this woman, who has a doctorate. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. 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, on the way to an exam, I got hit by a car. I got back up and limped to class. The teacher wouldn’t let me in because I was 10 seconds late. 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, for the first time this semester, I was able to get parking in time for my Wednesday class. The professor was sick and class was cancelled. FML
Today, I was on my way to college when I got in a car wreck with none other than my professor. My car was totaled and couldn't drive, but his could so I missed class, but he still made it. The end result? He marked me as an "unexcused absence" and gave me a zero. The accident was his fault. FML
Today, I found out that my professor dropped me from class because I missed a Zoom meeting. The only class I needed to graduate. Why did I miss the meeting? Because I was in labor for 32 hours. FML
Today, I had to take the train from my hometown to my university for a very important meeting concerning my foreign exchange program. When I finally arrived, I noticed a Post-it on the door: "Meeting cancelled, sick". I basically made a 9-hour day-trip for a half-an-hour walk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, I'd say "Next time, break a leg" but you already have that covered, so boy did I put my foot in my mouth there. I hope no more slip-ups are in toe on my part.

You mean on crutches? Because I can't see how anyone would be tough/dumb enough to walk on a broken leg… "Just a flesh wound!"

The OP said "with" a broken leg, not on one.

I experienced the same thing with a dislocated knee three years ago, I understand what you feel... At least you get the courage to go there, keep doing like that.

YDI: Next time use your teleportation device. Better yet, your psychic abilities would save you valuable electricity from firing up the teleportation device.

For clarification did you actually walk on your broken leg to your class?

I think crutches were implied. Why would anyone walk on a broken leg?!

Sometimes you don't get given crutches, you have a walking cast. Still hurts to use it, especially for a long distance walk.

You could have gotten a bus or a cab and not have walked. YDI

Yeah 'cuz every city has a public transport system and also everyone can afford a taxi right?

OP clearly didn't plan their trip thoroughly. If they had, they wouldn't have to have excruciating pain.

Maybe try checking out if you're eligible for HandyDart (or at least TaxiSavers) if conventional bus service isn't an option.
