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?

Those who ask questions would make you stupid for a moment, those who are afraid will for ever be a fool

Well, you just technically called the girl a dumb ****. So, then by your own reasoning, you are a dumb ****.

I don't really see why this is a huge deal. It's just someone being obnoxious.

Vulgarity is the language of the idiots. Make sure she gets your order right next time you go to Burger King.

Since when does asking questions, stupid or not, make you a dumb ****?

I have some anxiety that sometimes makes it hard for me to ask questions publicly (some days more then others) what I would do is when the questions popped Into my head I would write t down in the column. If you're using a laptop, you can type it and put it in bold, then after class I would go to the front and ask or even email my prof. Just incase that comment makes you feel anxious or bad. Personally, I don't think you should let that person bring you down. You're paying to learn, so you might as well take it all in :)

This is a really good idea, wish I'd have thought of that. I have a huge problem asking questions in class. I distinctly remember when I was around ten, my teacher snapped and yelled at me in front of the whole class, making fun of the way I raised my hand up and was so eager to ask questions. Ever since then, I haven't asked a single question in class.

Wow, that's rude beyond belief. In really sorry that happened, I could see myself responding in that way too, I would never be able to ask another question!!!
