Today, a classmate posted a recording of a recent lecture on my university's Facebook page, so we could listen again and take notes at home. A few minutes in, I heard myself asking a question. I then heard snorting and some girl muttering "dumb cunt" under her breath. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after our teacher had said this class would be very important and that we should take notes, instead of writing notes, I brought a recorder to class. After class, I listened to the recording, and all I could hear was muffled voices. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to ask a question in a packed lecture hall. The professor repeated my question, except he'd misheard me and rephrased it into something wildly incorrect. The class laughed. Instead of correcting him, I nodded. Now half the class thinks I don’t understand the difference between correlation and causation. FML
Today, during an online class, I forgot to mute myself while trying to get my dog to poop. The whole class, including my professor, heard me sing “Push It” by Salt-N-Pepa to motivate her. They all had many questions when I came back on camera. FML
Today, I was having a mass lecture, for 3 classes combined, all microphones muted. I wanted to go to the toilet, so I connected my headphones, and I did my job massively while listening to the teacher. Suddenly, the teacher said, "Oh, close your mic for the love of god." 85 students heard me taking a shit. FML
Today, as a teaching assistant, I somehow uploaded my personal notes instead of the lecture slides. My “notes” included reminders like “slow down, idiot”, “this makes no sense”, and “students will hate this part.” Several students emailed me saying they appreciated the honesty. I would've appreciated the ground opening and swallowing me whole. FML
Today, at university, I worked up the courage to speak up in a lecture hall of 200 people. I raised my hand, made my point, and felt pretty good until the professor said, “That’s exactly what I said like five minutes ago.” Half the room turned to look at me like I'd just woken up from a nap mid-class. Which I had. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, during my online class, I was answering my professor's question when my older sister slammed open the door to loudly say, "WHAT'S UP CHICKEN FUCKER?" My class heard. I hate online school. FML
Today, I had a nasty cough, but I went to college anyway. When I walked into class, I could practically smell menstrual blood in the air. After a few coughs, our instructor gave me an "Oh, shut up!" After half an hour, she kicked me out for not "taking the class seriously". FML
Today, I was in sociology class and I raised my hand to ask a question, not realizing that the professor was right behind me. I smacked him right in the face, no doubt reducing my chances of a good grade. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She's probably one of those people that thinks she's so smart. Just ignore the bitch.

What are you thinking op? School isn't for learning or asking questions.

Congrats baby girl you've got haters! You must be doing something right!

"Congrats baby girl you've got haters! You must be doing something right!" The fact someone could actually believe this strongly enough to post it online makes me sad.

It's the generation. I often see kids/teens cursing at their parents in a store over something petty. I never see them get reprimanded. Every time I see this happen, I think to myself that if I did (while underage) this to my parents, I would've been slapped, grounded, and put in my place. I'm 28 and still don't curse at my parents, elders, or relatives.
jarrettd 27
I agree with that. The way i see other people of my generation act, really makes me mad sometimes.

Well every generation has their bad seeds, you can't just blame a whole generation for a few assholes. Just like kids disrespect their parents now, I'm sure they did it then too.
stargirl_95 24
Well, looks like it's "let's bash this generation time". EVERY SINGLE generation has it's fair share of assholes, idiots, etc. To take a few idiots and assume that everyone in their generation acts the way they do is an extremely ignorant thing to do.

You probably should have listened better to the lecture, the amount of mistakes in that post
iAlissa 34
I honestly didn't find any 'mistakes' in the post whatsoever.

38- 1. Your comment makes no sense 2. Ur an idiot
TheAbstract 15
You say someone else is an idiot and you use "ur?" Please, explain how that makes any sense at all.
Tcaret300 12
Ikr, you can't go bashing someone and then use "ur"

"America was the communist country during the Cold War right?" (Someone actually asked this question)
stargirl_95 24
Whoops, sorry! I was replying to the thread below this one.
iAlissa 34
43's comment made perfect sense by the way. She was stating that she had two points. She just didnt put a colon or dash behind the numbers which caused some confusion. I hope this wasnt too confusing. Anyway. That is that.

Makes me wonder what your question was

What kind of question did you ask yourself!?
YodasTwinSister 11
I don't recall reading that she asked herself a question. It appears that she was asking the professor a question. Reading is a useful skill. Use it to your advantage.
wlddog 14
Its the one that questions the purpose of the question that can only hope to find out why the question can even be asked. And 25, your comment about yourself is awesome. I now feel the need to get in the van marked "Candy".

36, I don't recall 25 making a comment about herself.

#44 He is referring to her profiles description.
R4inb0wBrit3 13
Ah, my apologies 36.
wlddog 14
No worries my friend. And yes I was referring to her profile comment. I do read them from time to time. Some people are interesting, and I consider it polite to let them know.

Remember there's no such thing as stupid questions.. Just stupid people.

Well, I can think of relatively stupid questions...

I didn't know that 'dumb *****' where what people called students that wanted good grades. People :/

There's a difference between "Smart person asking a good question" and "Idiot asking a question that should be common sense and is just wasting everyone's time".

The only ones who stay dumb are those that never ask any questions.

I think it's actually just the stache. Instant ingenuity, wisdom, and punny genius. Lose that and he may be in trouble

A quote I read recently: "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." -Epictetus With that attitude, I'm guessing she'll find out exactly how much she didn't already know when grades are given.

At least you asked a question :)
