Today, out of habit from twelve years of karate classes, I bowed to my teacher as I exited my classroom. My chemistry classroom. FML

Today, I was teaching when I saw a student leave her chair and brazenly head for the door. I clapped her on the shoulder and said, "Going somewhere, miss?" She vomited all over my pants. FML
Today, I was escorted out of the building for getting in a scuffle at my anger management class. FML
Today, in my karate dojo, I was being taught how to fall properly. My sensei instructed us not to fall with our hands out because it could sprain our wrists. As I was getting ready to help demonstrate a backwards break fall, I actually fell over. Guess where my hands went. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher. FML
Today, I witnessed my karate instructor whimper and practically piss himself as a guy walked up to him in the street and demanded his wallet. What a total waste of hundreds of dollars' worth of lessons. FML
Today, as I was leaving for my chemistry exam, I stepped on one of the countless sheets of chemistry notes that littered the floor following last night's studying. I managed to slip and knock myself out in my own living room. FML
Today, I was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML
Today, I stood up in front of the class and dropped my pen. As I bent over to pick it up, a boy in the front row loudly broke wind. I will forever be known as "that teacher who farted". FML
Today, at my art school, during the class my teacher left the classroom. I stood up from my seat to ask my friend something. When I sat back down, one of my guy classmates was sitting there. I sat on his lap and right at that moment my teacher came back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It shows that you've learned respect, maybe a little out of context, but there is a bright side to this

I've nearly done the same thing after 9 years in marital arts.. Or replied with 'osu' or 'yes Sensei' .. Oops :/

"Marital arts" do you study the "art" of marriage?

I didn't catch that! Switching the "i" and "t" makes a world of a difference.

Eh, a lot of Asian countries do the same. In Singapore, the class bows when greeting or ending class.

It's alright OP it just shows you're disciplined and not a rude ass student or something

Should've attempted a smooth transition into tying your shoelaces or something, although it's too bad that we will almost never think up these ideas until after it's happened :P

Happens. I've done it to servers at restaurants who do more of a serving line. They think it's hilarious

I'm also in karate (8 years and counting) and I can't even tell you how many times I've responded to a teacher or professor by saying "yes sir" or "yes ma'am", which is how we are required to respond to our instructors at the karate studio.

I don't get . We had to say yes ma'am/ sir and no ma'am / sir to our elders when I was a child/ teen. my friend even says it to her kids .she's trying to teach them at an early age to respect people.

49, I like that someone is teaching that to their kids! It may be a bit formal for this generation, but it's awesome that they're being taught to respect others/and their elders. I think more parents should be teaching their kids this!
