Today, I went to college, where I'm studying for my dream job. Despite getting up at 5am to catch the earliest bus into town, I arrived ten minutes late. My professor knows my circumstances, but is still threatening to kick me off the course if I don't "arrive on time like everyone else." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got up and walked to college for my only class which started at 9 a.m. after a night of restless sleep. Our exam is two weeks away, so I thought it would be better to attend. Apparently, my teacher thought differently. 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, I purpose woke up early so that I could be prepared for a class taught by a professor who thinks I'm an idiot. This professor was the first to tell me that I'm 2 hours early and asked very slowly if I know how schedules worked. She seriously sounded concerned. FML
Today, I was written up and given a penalty for being 3 minutes late to class. By my instructor. Who was 17 minutes late. FML
Today, my professor let a guy into my philosophy class 30 minutes late because his excuse was, "Time is just an illusion." This is the same professor that kicked me out of the classroom for being 2 minutes late. FML
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, one of my teachers yelled at me for being two minutes late to class. He was so concerned with my punishment that he didn't notice the four other people that walked in after me. FML
Today, I had to get to class at 9:00 to take a test. I woke up at 6:00, and figured I could wait a few minutes before getting ready. The next thing I knew, it was 10:30. FML
Today, I was late for class and I had to run to catch my bus, which only stops near our house twice a day. I made it to the doors just as they closed, and the bus drove away… with my sweaty reflection staring back at me in the moving bus door window. FML
Today, I ran 5 miles to catch the bus I take to university after missing my connection. When I got to the bus stop, I realized I had left my U-Pass on my desk at home. On top of the assignment that was due. FML

I know it sucks, but if he makes an exception for you he'll have to make one for everyone else. Maybe you could carpool with a classmate?

I imagine that such a tight ass twat could only teach abnormal psychology, a subject he's obviously VERY familiar with.

Nah, businesses ethics, the great oxymoron.

Maybe you could try an earlier bus? Although it does suck that you have to wake up that early :/

How is that fair? What a prick, kindly remind him that you can't do anything better about it.

technically he can do what my friend does she lives 12 miles from our university crossing a highway she can't afford a car at the moment so she pays someone gas to drive her to school. of course you need to cut back on personal indulgences but if its for a dream its necessary

I've never heard of any college prof giving two ***** about whether somebody is late or absent. You're paying for it

wow most of my professors are more understanding than that, maybe you need to have a one on one with him and try to explain again? or find a different mode of transportation that will get you there on time, good luck op

may sound desperate, but you may need a friend with a dorm who will let you stay over some nights of the week b4 that class

Y'all are suggesting getting a car like op hasn't thought of that yet. Cars are expensive. I like the bike idea, every minute saved will help. I also second the idea is carpooling with classmates. Or ask the dick teacher for a ride!

Sleep under the professor's desk!
