Today, my maths teacher was giving my whole class a lecture on 'if you don't pay attention at school, you will fail.' She then pointed out out a man working on the roof and said: 'if you don't listen, you will end up like that guy.' That was my dad. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was lecturing my high school students on the importance of a good education. I pointed out the janitor in the hall and told them if they didn't stay in school, they'd end up like him. Then one of my students raised her hand and reminded me that the janitor I pointed to was her dad. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been seeing my maths teacher. I'm still failing his class. FML
Today, I overheard my dad telling his work buddy that he's disappointed in his kid. I assumed he meant my brother, for flunking out of school. He meant me, for quitting sports to focus on my studies. FML
Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. FML
Today, my maths teacher, who hates me ever since I pointed out a mistake he made a few months ago, rang my dad and blatantly lied to him about me swearing at him in class. It was a complete load of bollocks, but my dad believed him and took away my PlayStation until after Christmas. FML
Today, my teacher walked into class and said, "Look to your left and right, one of those persons you just looked at will fail the upcoming exam." When asked why, she said too many people passed last year's exam. She was dead serious. FML
Today, I overheard my best friend's wife telling their kids to pay attention in school and stay focused on their goals so they don't end up a failure in life like their father's friend, Matt. Hi, my name is Matt and I'm the friend. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. FML
Today, my dad gave me a twenty minute lecture about responsibility and how lazy he considers me to be. He then yelled at me for not making his bed and getting his clothes off the floor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your Dad probably earns more than that hack.

You're teacher is jealous. Your dad, the roofer, probably makes more money than she does. You can make a lot of money in construction. But it can get very labor-intensify and pretty dirty, so it's not for everyone.

#34, go suck a tail pipe! I am a National Deans List student (top 2.5% in the U.S.A.) for college, and in the National Honors Society for college... Guess what, I swing a hammer, weed-wacker, roofing hammer/shovel, tile saw, electrical hammer, paint brush, miter saw, and anything/everything else you can think of. I do it because I love it, and I would rather stand back at the end of the day and SEE what I have accomplished with my hands, than look at a neat pile of paper and see nothing. I started as a casual laborer and have spent years learning the trades, I am in the maintenance business, and now I am a V.P. in a small co. in Fl. Work is bad in this economy, but I tried to do different work, and I hated it. Don't say anything to your teacher, she wouldn't understand and it would be futile. Learn what she has to teach, and then forget her. I can bet money (science backs me up on this) that your dad is healthier than she is, less colds/flu/sniffles. Want to be sick all the time, coop yourself up in an office! Want to be healthy, get out in the sun/sweat/exercise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what's wrong with our culture. We demonize decent people because they have jobs that actually produce, not desk jobs. Who knows, her dad could have been a decent student. Wow, I already hate that teacher.

Teachers should never say things like that. All it does is insult people. Also, if your dad wasn't on the roof, who would be? If there weren't people working at McDonald's, who's going to flip your burger? Besides, teaching math isn't the most glamorous job either. FYL.
