Today, I was sent to the principal's office because I refused to take my earbuds out. Those "earbuds" are my hearing aids. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got suspended for bringing a "hazardous weapon" to school. They were earrings. FML
Today, I lost my earbuds on the subway to work, so I had to listen to my boss's terrible music all day. FML
Today, I got yelled at for having a set of headphones around my neck at all times, because it "makes me seem disinterested." Two things: 1. I have established myself as a very good listener among my peers; 2. I'm autistic, so I need the headphones readily available at all times to cope with loud environments. FML
Today, I was taken to the principal's office and bitched out about the dangerous weapon I brought to school. The "weapon" was a pocket fan. FML
Today, I was excited about showing everyone at work my new piercing. It's in an interesting place in my ear, and it's not that common. Before I had the chance to tell anyone about it, someone asked, "Are you wearing a hearing aid?" FML
Today, after telling my boss about my hearing problem, she simply told me to "listen harder". FML
Today, my hearing aids got wet because i was caught in the middle of a thunderstorm. So they stopped working. I didn’t hear this morning's alarm because I can’t hear the alarm without my hearing aids. FML
Today, I wore out yet another set of headphones. This is the third one in a year. I need my headphones whenever I go outside because I have sensory processing disorder, and a multitude of hearing disorders that painfully enhance my hearing. Guess I'm stuck at home until I can buy pair number four. FML
Today, I went to work as a home health-aid, and found out that my client turns his hearing aid off on purpose because he can't stand my voice. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a couple of days off to recover from a nasty ear infection which has left me hard of hearing. However, he didn't understand why that would affect my job and refused. I work in a telephone call centre. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What did the principle say? Talk to your teacher about her behaviour, and if she does anything like this again, report her.

It happened to me too. Those people are stupid. Don't let it get it to you. People are always asking me if mine is a bluetooth.

I remember a story where some diabetic student was expelled for doing drugs (the insulin injection). The school even refused to let them ever do it again, even after it was explained that the student needed it to survive.

school employees need like a chart that has pictures of this kind of thing so they don't have incidents like this, or you could ask your doctor to cuss them out for turning your disability into detention

it seems odd your teacher didn't know that you had hearing aids. I'm sure though that once you got to the office it was pretty easy to prove. not really a big deal.

I should think that that would be pretty easy to prove.
