Today, I told my students that I would be absent tomorrow because my wife was giving birth. They burst into applause... not to congratulate me on the new baby. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at work, we were gathered to be told some bad news. One of our colleagues would be taking indefinite leave because his wife had dropped their newborn baby. I accidentally laughed at the image. FML
Today, I told my students that I would be taking a few weeks off because a member of my family is very ill. They all cheered. FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a father. Too bad I can't tell my wife. FML
Today, at my job as a second grade teacher, I was explaining to my students how I'm pregnant and will have to take a break from teaching after I have my baby. One of my students replied with "Ooooooooohhh Ms. Johnson had sex!" FML
Today, my colleague rushed off to the hospital for the birth of his first son. Having met his wife at the Christmas party a couple of years ago, I called to congratulate her. Shame I didn't realize it was his mistress having the baby. Guess who broke the news to the wife. FML
Today, I told my husband I was pregnant, then he fainted. FML
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I announced my pregnancy to my boss. I was expecting all sorts of reactions, except, "But... Erm... How did that happen?" FML
Today, I was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. FML
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to announce to the class that I finally got a girlfriend. I received a standing ovation. FML

As a student, I would be clapping because when a teacher is absent we usually get a free period, so I don't think it's anything personal.

Congrats on the baby. Also, I'm a student don't worry, that's just the students job. It's nice to fall out of the daily routine and have a easier day. I remember some guys in my honors history class convinced the sub. that our teacher ends class early on Fridays. Then, spent the rest of the hour arm wrestling. #100 I agree, BrittBritt sucks. Honestly, your insults are childish. "Seriously" is being fairly polite and honest whreas your using degrading and childish language and comments. Honestly, GROW UP!!!!!

Kids are brats. They're regret it later. Although there could've been a few who were actually happy for you.

Well, obviously... What did you expect? It's paradise when a teacher is absent. I know it is rude, but after all they're just a bunch of typical rotten students.

That's not FML, that's normal teacher's life. Doesn't matter if they love you or loathe you, students will always enjoy a day off.

How could you know TODAY, that she was going to have the baby TOMORROW? Had to be a planned caesarean - which is not exactly "giving" birth, after all.

get over yourself kids do this with any teacher because subs don't make them do shit

when kids have subs, they get a free day...of course they're going to applaude. stop feeling sorry for yourself and enjoy your new baby.

I never liked most of my classes even if the teachers were nice.
