Today, I went to my son's high school play. The moment I arrived at the auditorium, I shouted out his name to let him know I made it. Thinking I was a student, a teacher yelled, "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Scared out of my mind, I quickly obeyed, to mass giggling from the kids. FML

Today, it was the début of the high school musical I was in. When two others and I sang the word "Hell", my mother yelled at us for using that language, while the musical was still going, and dragged me off stage. FML
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML
Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML
Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML
Today, while dropping my son off at the bus stop before school, I went to give him a kiss on the cheek. Then, before I was able to make contact, he jumped away, yelled "PSYCH!!!!" as loud as he could, and jumped on the bus. The kids all laughed at me and the other parents looked embarrassed for me. FML
Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML
Today, I was hushed in a theatre during a play. I would normally appreciate a discreet silencing in the audience, but I was saying my lines. FML
Today, I picked up my four year old son from daycare. As I was putting him in his car seat, I asked him if he had fun. He yelled, "Shut it, bitch!" FML
Today, I went to my son's school soccer game. Unfortunately, I couldn't get excited about it because my idiot son kept diving the moment anyone so much as breathed on him. It eventually earned him a penalty shot that won him the game. I was so ashamed, I snuck out to avoid being seen with him. FML
Today, I went to my son's final band performance. I also have a busy toddler, so I ended up watching most of the performance in the hallway on a tv monitor. In the middle of the awards ceremony, my toddler pulled the fire alarm. Everyone had to evacuate the building. FML

I don't know about you deserving it, or you being f'd, but I do know that a teacher telling a student, or anyone, to "shut up and sit down" is rude, and unacceptable. I'd be scheduling an appointment with the principal to discuss the way the students are treated. And, before everyone goes off on me, yes, it is appropriate for a teacher to say "be quiet and sit down." "Shut up," when used in this manner, is rude, and teachers shouldn't be using it with students.

I had a teacher who said shut up and sit down... and you know what was truly magical about it? We did.

Maybe if you're a first grade teacher. Not a high school teacher.

#33 - I agree. Where I live a teacher would never ever tell a student to shut up, and students are expected to return that courtesy. If the teachers curse, how can they expect the students to not curse? FYL for living in a bad area.

calm down. clearly you are overly sensitive. shut up isn't that bad. teenagers say it themselves all the time. like right now, shut up

Are you sure the teacher thought you were a student and not just someone being rude as hell in a theatre? Because YDI for yelling in a theatre, even a high school auditorium. What the hell were you thinking? He'd figure out you were there when you, you know, told him later like any sane adult. I bet you sing along during musicals, too.

The teacher knew that you were one of those obnoxious, loud-mouthed parents who has to announce to the whole world that they sacrificed the time out of their busy day to attend her child's tedious drama exercise. Yeah, we get it. You made it -- yay! Now, STFU and sit the **** down!

I would have gone off on the teacher. Just saying.

And you would have listened to everyone applaud as you were escorted off school property.
