Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML
Today, I attempted to cheat on a test by writing some notes on my hand. During the test I had a question. I raised my hand. FML
Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML
Today, I went into my classroom to find a bag of shit on my desk with a note saying, "Thanks for failing me b*tch!" FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML
Today, I was passing notes in class with my crush. I started to pour my heart out and tell him about how I've liked him for years. I was caught by the teacher. He looked at it, laughed, and tore it up. He then looked at me and said, "I just saved you from years of embarrassment. You're welcome." FML
Today, I was separating my notes into two piles: one to save for exam studying and one to throw out. I finished separating, picked up the junk pile, and absentmindedly shredded it. Afterwards, I looked down to see the junk pile still completely intact. Goodbye, passing grades. FML

That's messed up. He didn't even check to see what was written on your hand first? I write reminders in my hand all the time.

Are you a racial minority in a class of white people? You could get that teacher fired.

It's fine to jump to conclusions, as long as you wait for proof before you do anything.

This reminds me a lot of one that was previously posted where the teacher wrote and said he ripped up a kid's test and then read the note in his hand that said "you can do it, love mom" or something. I can't find the link, but I'm fairly certain it's a semi-ripoff. Anyone else remember that post?

So it's a ripoff because it's slightly similar? Honestly...

To be honest, the situation sucks, but I'm surprised that it didn't occur to you that having stuff written on your hand before doing an exam wouldn't be an issue. It could be against the rules, even if it had nothing to do with the exam, and perhaps the teacher shouldn't have ripped it up like that, but he could have banned you from doing the exam and be entirely within his rights to do so. On the other hand, I suppose it's easy to forget what you might've written on your hand at an earlier time and that's easy to do. And at least the teacher could see for himself that he overreacted. So I voted both "FYL" and "YDI because it's a little of both. And for everyone saying, "That teacher is an asshole", consider the teacher's point of view. What would have you thought if you saw someone doing an exam and noticed notes written on their hand? Especially when it's his job to be looking for that sort of thing and he's in that frame of mind?

Bullshit. Any mature teacher (Which they should all be) pulls the student aside, if they notice something that needs instant confirmation, such as this. You don't make an example out of someone in front of the entire class, you may as well sound a foghorn on everybody - Their concentration is going to be ******. And it's not against the rules to have something written on your hand, unless you live in some school with a strict dress code. Otherwise, would tattoos not be ruled out, as well? No teacher is "Within their rights" to kick a student out of an exam (Likely failing them) because they had something entirely unrelated written on their hand. What if it were done in something long-lasting? Such as several traces of a permanent marker, or henna?

In my school, a major top-tier US university, the teacher is not even allowed to be in the room during the exam. So the teacher doesn't have arbitrary rights to ban people as they see fit. In most schools, there's a procedure for suspected cheating: document the evidence, find witnesses, let the student finish the test in a separate desk or alone, then send it off to a judicial process. There is a process for cases exactly like this, since there have been lawsuits over it. I'd raise a stink about it. You can get the teacher into some very serious trouble easily.

I can speak from the perspective of a teacher who just gave a couple finals today: the teacher the OP describes is an asshole. If he was so worked up over the possibility of finding someone "cheating" on his exam, he needs to find a different job. The proper way to have handled this situation would have been to wait until the student finished with the exam, and then ask "so what do you have written on your hand there?" and the student would have replied "it's a note to remind me to pay my rent... see?" And then the teacher could have said "oh, ok. Have a nice holiday." This teacher obviously has mental problems. But of course, the OP should have known that already.

You deserve it for having to write yourself a note to remember something as important as paying rent. It's not like you don't have to pay it at the exact time every single month or anything. Would it have been really that hard to wait until after such an important exam to make a note of it?

Oh sheesh, he's a college student, chances are he hasn't been living on his own for very long, and in that case, it's not like paying rent on time was a habit yet. Give him a break. On the other hand, lucky your teacher just ripped the test in half, not to bits - so now he can tape it back together and grade it ;)
