Today, I thought that an ingenious way to protest against high tuition prices would be to steal a box of soymilk from my university dining hall. The box exploded in my backpack. Not only did I lose all my soymilk, I now have to replace my $120 calculator. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I stole a classmate’s graphic calculator because I couldn’t afford one. She reported it missing to the professor. He wouldn’t let anyone leave class until it turned up. Not even saying I had diarrhea had him let me go. In fact, he told me to empty my backpack right there and then. I’m suspended. FML
Today, while getting ice cream with a friend, her car got broken into. Nothing was taken except my backpack, which contained assignments making up 50% or more for grades in four separate classes. FML
Today, I started at a new college. I bought my textbooks and went to my first class only to find out that they changed my schedule without telling me. I'd already opened the book. I could not get $200 back. FML
Today, I wanted revenge on my college's drinks machine. For the past two days, it forgot to release a cup before pouring my coffee. This time, I had planned ahead; I put my money in, entered the code, and quickly inserted my own cup. It gave me hot water. FML
Today, a student's parent yelled at me because they had to pay for school equipment their son had stolen from my desk. Apparently, it's my fault because the item was just too tempting for him not to steal. FML
Today, school tuition has taken up so much of my paycheck that the only thing I had to eat for dinner was applesauce. FML
Today, I checked my university financial account to discover I owed them over $1000. The reason? They had apparently given me too much money when I applied for a loan and now want it back. Oh, and I spent my loan money on books and a laptop for school. FML
Today, I walked to my local McDonald's. I spent the last 7 dollars I had on my meal. As I began to walk back to my dorm, I was mugged. I explained to them I had no money, so they stole my food. FML
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, I discovered my water bottle had leaked and spilled water all over my backpack, ruining my notebooks, soaking my schoolbooks, and destroying my midterm portfolio. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Right. Because one form of stealing justifies another petty one. :p At least the university Told you their prices before you went, and you Still made the choice to go. No matter how I look at this, it's still your fault, sorry. ;p

Protesting doesn't have to involve stealing, it's a crime also you just probably wanted the soy milk so you say it's a protest! Karma is a b**** Isn't it!

I understand how stealing could help with your feelings of anger towards your school, but grow up! You're a college student, right? Stealing only helps yourself, its selfish and does not help the situation. Use that anger to do something useful. If you don't like something, try to change it! The only change you're making is making the world a shittier place. A place full of angry bums. Yeah, I get that college costs a lot, and life is unfair. Well way to go, you made it a little less fair than it was to start with. YDI

Actually, part of your tuition (or your dining plan) probably already factors in a certain amount of theft. Stores account for shrinkage in their prices, it makes sense that the cafeteria would too. Especially given that you're not the first person to think of this.

Ziploc Bags. That is all I have to say.

Because stealing milk totally sticks it to the college and lowers tuition costs.. Yup. Makes sense..

Probably a TI-84 Plus Silver. Those things aren't cheap.

An what pisses me off is that they don't have to be. They use an ancient zilch z80 processor which is ridiculously expensive and it is only 8-bit. If they implemented an ARM processor, it would not only be less expensive (due to the massive overproduction of these chips) it would also be significantly more powerful. They can even under clock and under volt it for greater efficiently.

You really stuck it to that man with that box of soymilk.
