Today, my teacher told me that she couldn't find my hand-written essay on the Renaissance, and that I have to re-do it all by tomorrow. I later saw my essay on her desk, covered in a massive coffee stain that made virtually everything unreadable. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out why my professor accused me of not handing in an important essay before the due date. Apparently she spilled coffee all over it and didn't dare to tell me. FML
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML
Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I broke my dominant hand. My teacher insists we hand-write our essays. I called and asked if it was okay for me to type up the essays. She said no. I have two essays due tomorrow, which count for half my grade. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I asked my professor what happened to the assignment I gave him several weeks ago. Turns out he lost it, and graded me zero as a result. Now if I want a mark, he says I'll have to hand-write it all over again, but that I "probably shouldn't bother," because it was "a bit shit, really." FML
Today, I had to hand write a 10 page essay for one of my classes. When I turned it in I got an automatic zero. It was written in blue. Not black. FML
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Spill coffee on your grade sheet and demand she redo it all

The fact she's giving you one day to re-do an essay SHE lost is already showing how "great" of a teacher she is, which doesn't really make the next bit surprising. Had she actually lost the paper, she should at least give you more time to re-write it. FYL, OP.

So pick up your essay and take it to her and confront her on her lie. If that does not work then take it to the administration.

Not all teachers are like this. Some are actually good teachers.

16, you should probably get your head out of your ass and listen to your teachers more. Perhaps they could teach you to write a proper sentence.

I hate those retarded teachers. Get her ass fired somehow, op.

Point it out to her and try to get her to work with you. If that doesn't work, you can try reporting it to someone above her, but as miserable as it may be, you're probably just going to have to rewrite it. Take it back, and try to find anything that's readable in it you can use to write a new one. I'm sorry that happened to you though, it really sucks.

$#!+ rolls down hill my dear. Hopefully you had it saved on a computer so all you had to do is reprint it.

It was a hand written essay

If it were that easy it wouldn't be a FML. It was handwritten

I've actually heard several stories about teachers losing students' homework assignments and blaming it on the students. It blows my mind.

Yeah, it happens all the time. Last year I had to redo a science paper three time because the teacher lost it or misplaced it or as she liked to say "You never handed it in, you are lucky I'm letting you do it after the do date." I had three witnesses saying I turned it in. Finally she graded the third one and I still got 20 points deducted for not turning it in on time. I hate teachers like that.

Who asks for handwritten assignments in the first place???When I was in high school we would get in trouble if it wasn't typed.

My teacher doesn't allow us to type up our essays if it involves taking them home. She says we have to be prepared for exams, which require us to write two essays in two hours.

^ I guess, most of the teachers would claim that they didn't want to waste time trying to read " chicken scratch" and a 12 font double space was easy on their eyes.
