Today, I was lecturing my high school students on the importance of a good education. I pointed out the janitor in the hall and told them if they didn't stay in school, they'd end up like him. Then one of my students raised her hand and reminded me that the janitor I pointed to was her dad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my maths teacher was giving my whole class a lecture on 'if you don't pay attention at school, you will fail.' She then pointed out out a man working on the roof and said: 'if you don't listen, you will end up like that guy.' That was my dad. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, the mother of one of my students bitched me out about her son's poor grades. He lazes around all day, paying no attention and being a constant nuisance. But, she says it's not his fault, and demands that I give him better grades so he won't get "self-esteem" issues. FML
Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML
Today, I was sent to an elementary school for safety day. One of the dads was asking about my job, when I told him about the long hours and high stress involved. He turned to his son and said, "Now see why you stay in school?" I'm a paramedic. With a bachelor's degree. FML
Today, I was doing my job and trying to teach a lazy bunch of 16-year-olds. A girl entered the room just 15 minutes before class ended, so I snapped, "Someone had better have died for you to be this late!" She immediately burst into tears. Turns out, someone had. FML
Today, I had to go to my 10 year-old son's school to talk about my job being a chef. As I was almost finished, I asked the kids "What would you like to do when you grow up?" Without hesitation one kid replied with a straight face, "Anything but being a douchebag like you." FML
Today, my philosophy teacher asked me about my parents. I replied that my mum was a cleaner and my dad was a bus driver. In an astonished voice, she said, "But, you're clever..." FML
Today, I was sternly told that if I didn't pass more students, I would be out of a job. I then went to my class to collect papers, and was stymied by how I could be giving passing grades to the 12 of 24 who didn't turn anything in. College students. FML
Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML

Ydi. A lot of people end up with jobs like that because they can't get anything better and at least they have a job.

Serves you right, OP. Why would you even say that? At least he ha s a job, you're not better than him or anyone else who does "dirty work".

YDI, end of story. Just for assuming a janitor can't have a successful life. You don't know if that's just his part time job!

Either way "Dady's girl" he may be perfectly happy with his job, you never know when one day you could end up working for him!

You're an asshole. Please check my grammar.

He might have wanted to be a janitor, anyway. It annoys me that so many people are basically pitying the guy, when he might be perfectly happy with the way his life has gone. Not everyone wants to be a teacher or a doctor or whatever. And OP is a wanker.

Just saying janitor's get paid awesome and they also have to go to college and get some safety degree before working

No. They don't. To both. Janitors get paid about $11 an hour, with limited career progression and most definitely do not require a degree. That said, there's nothing wrong with being a janitor. If nobody did the job then buildings would be messy and filled with broken stuff. No matter what TV tells you, most people don't end up in their dream job, usually people seem to fall into something be it temporarily (before they fall into something a bit better), or permanently. Making ends meet is sometimes all you can manage, but make ends meet you do. Even if the janitor's daughter hadn't been in the room you set an utterly horrible example to those kids; judging others so harshly and overtly because their job is just that bit less prestigious than yours is not only a terrible thing to do, but teaches kids to internalise prejudice. Do the world a favour and rethink your teaching strategy before you start making an impact on impressionable young minds.
