Today, in algebra, I took out my notebook. My Chinese teacher was so impressed with my "Chinese" writings on the cover that I'm now her "favorite student". Those "Chinese" symbols are actually Japanese, but I wanted someone to like me so badly that I didn't correct her. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at a tutoring center, one of the tutors looked at my worksheet and laughed. She then showed all the other tutors my mistakes and they laughed along with her. The best part? They all speak Chinese and they think I can't understand them. I'm Chinese. FML
Today, I got a perfect score on my French quiz, and I was told to have my mom sign it. What I didn't realize was that all the way at the bottom she wrote "Good Nathaly!" and "I love you!" surrounded by little hearts. The teacher hung it up anyway. FML
Today, the Chinese student I've been teaching English to got on stage in front of hundreds of people to read her final essay. She ended with, "What a fucking day." I don't swear, and I no longer have a job. FML
Today, I had to make a poster for social studies. I decided to write "Nice ass" in hieroglyphics. Turns out my teacher can read hieroglyphics. FML
Today, my art teacher showed off a painting of his name he got in Japan. I can read Japanese, and it actually says "Old idiot". I really don't want to break it to him. FML
Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML
Today, in calculus, our substitute teacher told me I was smart. Everybody in the class, including my friends, burst out laughing. FML
Today, I gathered the courage and wrote a love letter to put in the girl I like's school bag, at the end of classes. I felt anxious for a response. Her bag turned out to be her cousin's, and I became a joke in the classroom. 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 teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

To the people asking what kind of chinese teacher doesn't know the difference, because of the orgin of Japan, in many cases japanese characters look identical to chinese characters

Well...if it was kanji, I see how your teacher could have been mistaken. 愛, or example, is both Japanese and Chinese for 'Love'..!

All three alphabets used in the Japanese language originate from classical Chinese. If it was written in Kanji, it's easy to mistake since the characters are similar to contemporary Chinese and sometimes even identical to classical Chinese. I can understand Chinese characters and my Chinese friends can understand some of my Japanese Kanji. Perhaps your knowledge of Japanese is as limited as you think your teacher's knowledge of Chinese is.

I'm confused. Do you mean she's your Algebra teacher, and she happens to be Chinese? Or does she teach your Chinese class? Especially if she's a math teacher and doesn't specialize in the Chinese language, you really can't blame her for not knowing the difference. Many written characters are shared between Chinese and Japanese.

Why was your Chinese teacher in your Algebra class?

Everyone seems to believe op that the characters are Japanese. But I’m sure a Chinese person would recognize Chinese characters better than someone named Miguel recognizing Japanese. IJS
