Today, in math class we were learning about gravity. To demonstrate my teacher asked me to stand on the desk and then step off. Upon stepping on the desk it curved inward and cracked. Everyone was dying of laughter. Fuck gravity. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, before class I was trying to prove I can twist myself like the people on the front of my anatomy textbook, I got onto a table and twisted my ankles behind my head. Everyone seemed impressed until I farted so loudly that it echoed in the hallway. I couldn't get my legs unstuck. FML

Stop staring!

Today, my 5-year-old told me that she'd learnt about gravity, then asked, “So when you fall down, is it because the Earth punched you?” I said yes, along with a giggle. Later at the supermarket, she tripped and screamed, “THE EARTH HIT ME AGAIN!” I was then reminded of high school when it felt like everyone was staring at me. FML

Smooth sailing

Today, I was messing around in computer class when somebody called my name from the hall. Trying to be smooth, I tried rolling my chair backwards out into the hall. The wheels wasted no time jamming and sending me crashing face-first into the floor in front of everyone. FML

Today, in calculus, our substitute teacher told me I was smart. Everybody in the class, including my friends, burst out laughing. FML

Today, during gym class, my teacher insisted that everyone should relieve some stress by throwing a basketball at the wall. I wound up and hurled the thing at the wall, it bounced back and hit me in the stomach. I began to vomit uncontrollably. Even my teacher laughed. FML

You can't explain that

Today, I was explaining a complex work issue to my team. I moved my chair back so I could see them all. The leg of my chair went into a hole in the floor, causing it to fall over and me with it. I tried to finish explaining but everyone was laughing so hard they couldn't hear. Then they realized I couldn't get up. FML

Today, in class my friend played a joke on me by pulling my seat from under me while i was about to sit. I fell and everybody laughed at me. During the next class, I did the same thing to him. He broke his arm. He was the star of the basketball team. Nobody laughed. FML

Today, in math class, I had the urge to fart. I had the bright idea that if I dropped my textbook and farted at the same time, nobody would hear it. I dropped my textbook, everyone looked at me, then I farted. Loudly. FML

Today, in physics class, my teacher was messing around with an air cannon and I accidentally blurted out, "Blow me!" It took me all of 5 seconds to realize why everyone was laughing. FML

Today, I had a substitute for science and I was standing at the stationary table when some other guy came over and made the thing wobble. The whole thing fell over and I got all the blame. Then I was sitting with my friends at lunch but another friend came back right when my crush was gonna sit next to me. FML

Hey, I've seen some lard-arsed kids sitting on desks and they've been fine. It was probably an old desk. Or, if you ARE morbidly obese, sitting at your computer complaining about it won't help.

gravity is freakin' physics, not math! what the hell is that teacher doin? lol if "gravity" pulled you down so hard the desk broke, let's hope you didnt go all the way to the centre of the earth :D

1. why were you learning about gravity in math class? 2. how retarded is your school that you have to show someone step off their desk to demonstrate gravity? 3. lose some weight, fatty

Hey... mathematics IS a science :( In high school math, gravity can be used to describe parabolic motion. So if the teacher wanted the person to jump off the desk then, (s)he can demonstrate this. Or just dropping down from the desk and plotting position vs. time will also get a parabolic curve. From this you can use the position to find velocities and acceleration, all which require math. Or if the teacher's really mean, they could be using the OP's gravitational potential energy and using it to do work on the desk and demonstrate upwards concavity (in the desk). >:3

you cracking a desk in half with immense weight has nothing to do with gravity. However, it does have everything to do with you being a god damn fat ass. Try jogging.

Yes, what MATH class study's gravity? If it was physics, wouldn't one say physics and not math? considering most phyiscs incorporates math and isnt purely just math..... #120 ftw for actually being able to explain how that COULD work. But honestly, there are far easier ways to explain parabolic curves than using gravity with people "jumping off" desks. Either the OP is not the brightest and needs to learn to use words better, the school/teacher is messed up and therefore it's the school's FML or this is fake......

i thought gravity was taught in science...? soon they will be teaching economics in language arts... crazy ppl..

Gee. I thought gravity was physics. I guess tomorrow I should tell my math and physics teachers that they have been teaching the wrong things (and this is no insult to you. That is an insult to your teacher/school) Sorry that happened to you.
