Today, in class, I asked my teacher for a "rubber". I didn't realise that in America "rubber" doesn't mean "eraser", it means condom. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a guy sitting next to me in class asked me for a pen. I accidentally handed him a tampon instead. FML
Today, when I went to pay for my groceries, I accidentally handed the cashier a condom instead of my $20. FML
Today, a girl in my class turned around and said, "Wow, you've got your photo on a rubber! That's amazing!" The rubber was designed to look like a £10 note, and the picture was of the Queen of England. 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
Today, I was spacing out in French class and randomly got an erection. My professor called on me to stand up at the front of the room and say, "I am wearing a belt," in French. Not everyone was observing just my belt. FML
Today, I was in English class when I had to use the bathroom. As I was signing out, the teacher said, "Don't forget the hall pass!" It was a plunger. I had to walk across the school with a plunger. FML
Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML
Today, my 2-year-old told me he found a new finger puppet. It was a used condom. FML
Today, my psycho abstinence-only sex ed teacher claimed condoms give 50% protection at most against pregnancy. I couldn't help but correct her. She apologized for her "mistake", saying, "It's just that we're not ALL sluts, Kara." Now everyone thinks I'm a raging whore. FML
Today, I had to pick up my son from school because he was constantly talking about his "Giant pen." In mid-July, I got him a giant-sized pen (writing utensil) and he liked it very much. Apparently, one of the teachers had their mind in the gutter and thought he was talking about… you know what. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

omg, that reminds me of the time me and one of my friends pranked a substitute teacher. he and i decided to talk in english accents for the class and pretend that we were exchange students, she bought it. so we were talking by her desk and i told him that i'd made a mistake, so he promptly turns to her and asks for a rubber (we know that it means 'eraser' in the UK) the look on her face was priceless, (apparently she did not) best day in that class ever. :) lol

#80 rot on ******* hell because you hate the beatles. They're like the greatest band that ever walked the earth so **** you. And like my friends Seth who's a Brit said the exact same thing to me in front of my dad but like he ment eraser.So it came out like "hey do you have a rubber for later because things are gonna get hard." He was revering to this practice test we doing together for math.

Actually, they say it the same in Russia, where I'm from. It could be worse for the OP.
