Today, I went to the school I work at, to set up my new classroom. I'm 5'1" and I was carrying a backpack full of fun educational posters. I also have a new boss. When we met for the first time he was yelling at me because "there were no students allowed in here yet." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I met the new boss, who kicked the door open looking 15 years-old, with sunglasses on hiding his hangover, threw his bag on the desk knocking everything over, and greeted me with, “What the hell you doing in my office, bro?” This is going to be a complete disaster, I can feel it. FML
Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML
Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML
Today, I was hitting on a girl who was getting ready to walk into the same class as me. We were waiting outside the room, so I told her that I'd heard the professor for the course was a total bitch. We walked into the room. I sat down at a desk. She stood behind the podium. FML
Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML
Today, I moved into a new apartment. While moving boxes, I ran into my supervisor from work. Guess who lives across the hall. FML
Today, I showed up to my new job early, hoping to impress my new boss. When he arrived, he walked by me and muttered, "Fucking tryhard." FML
Today, I went to work at my new job, where I thought it would be super easy because I shop there all the time, and already know where everything is. Turns out, they're remodelling the store, so I don't know where anything is anymore, and the bosses get mad at me for being too slow. FML
Today, I came to school late because I had to drop off my daughter at school. When I got on campus, the security told me I was late but I said, "Oh no, I work here." and he said, "Oh like I haven't heard that one before." And he took me to detention. My boss, the Principal, had to bail me out. FML
Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending three hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML

I'm a 34 year old male who comes from a short family, and I was born a month early. I'm barely 5 ft. It sucks. I got called a midget the other day by some jerk brushing past me on the bus. But what makes it the worst is that females simply don't want to date someone my height. It's ok, I have the rest of my life to kill myself.

Ouch. That has never happened to me (I'm 5'2 and a teenager who looks older than she is), but I've worked with kids. Last summer, I was working in a class where the teacher was barely 5ft and looked 16 years old (she was 25). I actually mistook her for a camper several times, even though I helped in two of her classes. One mother, at Open House, felt the need to shout upon seeing her, "YOU LOOK VERY YOUNG! HOW OLD ARE YOU?" And a teacher at my dance studio looks younger than me and was mistaken for a student by her boss who treats all "children" like her own (i.e. hugs and kisses). Oh well, you'll get a little older and then this won't happen anymore.

Sorry. I know a teacher who looks like a student. Everytime I see her I think she's a student until I see her teacher badge.

Happens unusually often. One of my classmates in high school received a lot of guff for...just about everything. She was short, pale, blonde, blue-eyed...and Spanish. (Like from Spain, not Mexico.) Students and teachers alike were always telling her that she couldn't be Spanish, because she was white and had blue eyes. and naturally blonde hair. And white girls can't be Spanish.(They said.) Well....after we graduated high school, while navigating my new college campus, I saw her talking to a professor. He apparently had mistaken her for the young child of a family member visiting a student and was talking to her using baby talk to attempt to locate her mother. She slowly asked him if he really thought that she was a kid, under the age of ten. Slowly the teacher said yes, and I could hear him realizing he'd made a mistake when I saw her throw up her arms and run across the grass, whooping with glee for having been mistaken for so young. (For the record, that was an 19-year old being mistaken as a 9-year old....even if she WAS under five feet tall.)

At least you'll look young when your old?

That's okay I either look so young or am just so small at 5 feet even that when my husband and I went out on a date the waiter asked him if it was cool for his sister to have an adults menu...

Why would a student want to come into school early?
