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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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?

Get a car or hoof it to school. The rest of the students have to be there on time, it is no fair to make exceptions for you.

Don't take such an early class unless you know you can get there on time every day. Take online classes if transportation is an issue. It's not fair to everyone else that gets there on time or early but you can come in late. There was a girl in my 9:30-10:45 class who consistently came in extremely late (10:30 or later), even if she had special circumstances it wasn't fair to the rest of us.

Sucks but that's all on you. It isn't high school, there are no exceptions

Well that's a bit much, most professors are understanding about being a little late. You should consider car pooling or stay with a friend if they have a house/dorm on campus.

What professor would give a shit about your 'circumstances'? Good teachers don't make exceptions.

Ok guys, please stop acting like a professor should give special treatment, buying a car is an option, or some other stupid stuff. This is college. No one made OP register and pay for a class that was too early. It's not like it's the only time the class will ever be offered and it's the only class OP could take. In the real world, will OP's hard ass boss give a damn if he can't get to work on time? Hell no. This is real shit.

Maybe OP is taking a class that is only offered once a year. Then they would be forced to take that class.

My teacher in Freshman year gave you a tardy (aka 30min of detention which ends up being a 12 mile walk home because I miss the bus) if you weren't there on time even if u had a doctor excuse or note or if your school bus got there late and you just got to school. I ended up walking home on the rain 3 times and walking home when it was 105F outside in my black choir outfit
