Today, my entire gym class had to run the 1600 with our coach calling out finishing times. My finishing time was reported as "3 days short of a year." FML

Today, I ran the mile in gym class. I was the second to last person to finish, and I was left panting and feeling faint. When the teacher found out I hadn't come in dead last, he accused me of skipping a lap and is now making me rerun the entire thing. FML
Today, I had to run a timed mile. I'm terrible at running. During the run, I thought I was doing a good job. That is, until the teacher told me to stop because I was three laps behind everyone else. FML
Today, I had to run a mile in gym class for fitness training. If it takes longer than 10 minutes to run the stretch, you have to re-take it. My time was 10:02. FML
Today, I got cut from my track team. My coach told me it was because my sprints were "too fast" for his liking. Huh? FML
Today, I was running the 100m sprint in a track meet. Me and another girl were tied for dead last. When we finished, she complained, "It's so embarrassing how slow I am today. I have shin splints. What happened to you?" I was actually running my hardest. FML
Today, I did a sprint in gym class. Despite being the skinniest in the class, I ran slower than everyone else, including two morbidly obese people. FML
Today, I was up against two others in a 120m race on my school's sports day. Unexpectedly, I heard my name being chanted from most of the classes watching and well, this made me want to win so much that I leaned forward too much whilst running and ended up tripping and rolling on the track. I heard loud sighs after. FML
Today, I had my first day of soccer tryouts. We began with a two mile run. Trying to be honest for once, I didn't lie about my time. Everyone else did. I thus got the worst score, and had to run it again. FML
Today, my swimming coach made us swim fifty laps non-stop as punishment for his previous class being unable to swim a drill properly. They're 8-11 year olds who are still learning to swim. I feel like my arms and legs are filled with lead. FML
Today, my PE teacher was yelling at me because I got exhausted too quickly. As we neared the end of the exercise, he declared, "I will let y'all go early if [my name] doesn't give up halfway through this part." With all of the pressure on me, I forced myself to keep going. Then I promptly collapsed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's shocking that this generation is too unfit to run a single mile in a decent time. But feel they have the right to complain about a person that simply points it out.

Being mocked and having someone point something out can be two very different ends of the spectrum. I doubt (hopefully) that the OP would have complained had the coach said something like, "Hey, it took you xx minutes, which isn't really average for this age group, we need to work on that!"

This is terrible for you, and you should be proud of yourself for finishing. Many, many people couldn't. However, your coach is f-ing hilarious.

I would report the hell out of him. Teachers/coaches mocking students is unacceptable. As if adolescents don't have enough sh!t to deal with!

I've only had one reasonable/nice gym teacher, who was also my only fit gym teacher. He was the only one who actually listened to me, my mom, and doctors when we said I shouldn't be running or doing those weird stretches and such. My proportions are weird (long legs, short torso & arms, etc.) and my joints are weak, along with asthma and low blood pressure. My hip has actually popped out of place during gym from doing stretches, and my knee collapsed during the mile. Gym teachers can be jerks, and not because a kid isn't trying.

Hey, you got there in the end instead of quitting and that's all that should matter.

Is that supposed to be 4 minutes and 2 seconds? If so that's not that bad. At my school there were some people who took 10 minutes...
