Today, my classmate went into rage mode and cursed at me, complaining how it's so unfair that I'm allowed to wear a hijab in class but she isn't allowed to wear a Flamingo hat. FML

Today, a girl in my class threw a temper tantrum. Why? Because she wanted my seat. We're in high school. FML
Today, apparently, I can't have a bad day. After school, mom asked me if I'd had a good day. I told her no. Without asking, she went on a tirade about how unsociable I am and how poor my attitude is. I was harassed all day by my classmates because I don't wear expensive brand name clothes like they do. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, I saw my coworker write about how awful Muslims were and how the religion is stupid, the hijab is oppressive, and how they're a poison on society. When I questioned them about it, they pretty much said that I didn't know anything and should stop talking. I'm Muslim and a hijabi. FML
Today, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML
Today, I had a parent come in for a conference. When she stepped into my classroom, she immediately went on a rant about how I’m "woke indoctrinating" her child and threatened to homeschool her. She then stormed out. I had a rainbow chart of the colors and a poster of multicolored hands. I teach 1st grade. FML
Today, after finding out that my professor likes to talk trash about, and constantly belittle, Muslims in every American History class he teaches, I submitted an essay about Muslim contributions to humanity. He held me back after class and asked why I gave him such filth. I'm a Muslim. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I was screamed at by a girl, all because I wore a pride-themed Mickey Mouse shirt. Apparently, I’m supporting “hypocritical capitalist freaks” who profit off LGBT people, yet support anti-LGBT legislation. Also, she commented about my Starbucks drink, another “anti-LGBT company.” I can’t win. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't understand why you can't wear a flamingos hat, who cares if you want to wear a flamingos hat at school?

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
If one can wear a hat just because of religion, one has the right to wear a hat just for the fun of it. The same rules has to apply for everybody, religion or no religion. The end.

Actually, you're comparing apples and oranges. If there is a dress code, one must follow the dress code. Religious garb is an exemption. If the girl was a part of a religion that required flamingo hats, she would be allowed to wear her hat. I don't know if you're trolling, or if you're actually confused about this, but I decided to explain anyways. So no, wearing clothing for fun =/=wearing clothing for religious purposes. The rules do apply to everyone, a Christian can wear a cross, a Jewish man can wear a yarmulke, a Sikh man can wear a turban, and a Hindu woman can put vermillion on her forehead. However, these people could probably not wear flamingo hats. Therefore, the rules do apply to everyone.

I agree with 32, and don't understand if 29 was being serious or not, because the OP and the other person in the story are completely different situations.. and it shouldn't okay for just anyone to break the dress code. Religious beliefs are just what are considered "special circumstances"

I definitely agree with what 29 is saying. Religion seems to be put on a pedestal where somehow it's immune to rules and regulations that apply to everything and everyone else, and I don't see why that would be, it's a matter of choice and opinion that should not make you deserve a special treatment. (And just so you know, I'm religious myself, I'm not speaking out of hate here.) That being said, I'm all for minimal dresscodes allowing for as much personal freedom as possible, so both hijabs, sikh turbans, and any kind of fashionable or funny hats would be acceptable in my book, as long as they're small enough so that other students who sit behind aren't hindered. HOWEVER, OP simply didn't deserve anyone being mean to her about any of this, as she did not make up the school dresscode.

Rules should apply to all the students seperate on of church and state for a reason

The separation of church and state refers to the government not choosing an official religion for our country. It means basically means all religions are accepted. Even the military makes certain religious exemptions for people when possible.

I have a feeling that, even after explaining the difference,she still won't get it.

There's considerable difference: Ziva David wouldn't be caught dead in a flamingo hat. 'Nuff said
