Today, I listened to my roommate and her friend struggle with their math homework for an hour. It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that I'm a math major and repeatedly offered my help. They'd rather fail math than be around me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I failed a calculus exam because I simply was too burnt out to study for it. I have not wanted to even look at a math problem since the beginning of the year, and I procrastinate all day instead of doing work, and it leads me here, typing at 2 a.m. to random strangers while having to get up tomorrow at 7. FML
Today, my roommate told me that she was studying in the library. Turns out, she didn't feel like going to the library and just spent all afternoon studying in a friend's room because she didn't think I was capable of shutting up for long enough to get any work done. Our other friends agreed. FML
Today, a professor approached me in the hall to ask if, since I'm a math major, I could tutor one of her communications majors in a required Calculus course. Apparently the volunteer tutor the school provides "is a complete dumbass." I'm the school's volunteer tutor. FML
Today, my parents, who aren’t usually lenient, allowed me to have my boyfriend over. We started to cuddle, things got a little heated, but then my sister walks in and says, “You do my math homework, or I tell mom what you guys were doing.” I don’t remember middle school math being this hard. FML
Today, I had the worst day of my life. I'd studied science for the whole damn night, only to realize the next morning that it's a math exam. FML
Today, I told my class I was giving them 60 seconds to do a problem. A girl replied furiously "At least give us one minute!!" I teach a high school honors math class. FML
Today, despite doing extra credit, staying after class to have one-on-one tutoring with the TA, doing online tutoring and watching YouTube videos, I still absolutely cannot do math! I’ve been reduced to bribing my nephew to do my work for me. I’m in college. He’s in 7th grade. FML
Today, as I woke up early to do my physics homework, I heard my parents talk about how big a disappointment I am for them. They discussed how stupid, immature and how big a burden I was. They knew I was listening. FML
Today, I had a maths test and I realised that I'd studied the wrong topics. The teacher said the test would be difficult and I stayed up till 1 a.m. just to be prepared. FML
Today, my family yelled at me for being a "selfish disappointment." My crime? Not being able to help my sister's boyfriend do his homework while I'm working on my class finals. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No, it means OP is intelligent in the mathematical field. However, you sound like a judgmental idiot.

That's their ******* loss not yours
SamanthaCassieL 10
Well, that's what happens when you're a dumbass (the roommate and her friend I mean). Watch them fail and then re-offer your help so you an rub it in their faces that you were right and you're the one they should be going to for math :)

Maybe if your mom loved condoms you wouldn't be here. Oh sorry that was mean ;)

You grammar nazis can all suck my dick. If you spend your time corrected on people's mistakes in their comments then go join a sport or something cause you need a hobby.

Lol 22- grammatical humor! And 2- OP is smart when it comes to math, you on the other hand should work on your English!
THE_A_TEEN 28
*because *Grammar Nazis It's a noun, you know.
THE_A_TEEN 28
Crap, why Mods? Why must you delete condom's second comment? WHHHYYYYYYYY!?

F***ckin grammar nazis get a life cause you clearly do not have one... Or at least not a good one.
vaughant 5
You're is you are, so your is correct if your talking about the "If your mom used a condom" one
MrSassypants 34
56 I don't think you should be correcting someones wrong or right use of "your" or "you're" when you used it incorrectly.
DocBastard 40
That has to be the biggest Grammar Nazi failure I've ever seen. That's saying a lot considering the ridiculousness around here.
CallMeMcFeelii 14
56 is right though. How the hell did that grammar nazi get thumbed up? "If you are mom used condoms maybe you wouldn't be here." Yes that makes perfect sense haha. Only thing that needed fixed was punctuation.
SurfSnowSkate7 7
He was correcting 2. His username is gottalovecondoms
dominic1221 6
56 and 83 are the worst trolls I've seen all week.
GrammarTeacher 1
22 - you are right. It happens to be an adjective where the noun in the sentence is your(though the wrong version) it is still a noun
CallMeMcFeelii 14
I'm going to get thumbed down for this as well...but 87..**** you buddy.
forever_born 6
83 I do believe they were correcting number 2 not her because your makes sense there. But if you want to be honest I can be used both ways for both so everyone needs to back off everyone. We all have our opinions and some of them may stink but that's how it is. So everyone CHILL!
Hiimhaileypotter 53
Okay, guys. #24 was asking if he should correct #2's use of the word "your" or if someone else would. My comment saying "You're* - there! I did it :D" was me correcting #2 in a joking sort of way while responding to #24. Hope that clears things up. ;3

Boy, when did FML become a high school. Everyone is arguing and trying to fix grammar. Why???
THE_A_TEEN 28
We Grammar Nazis, live by a code of honor to correct online grammar mistakes and to preserve the English language. That's why.
thiscrazything 1
So if a grammar nazi walked 3 mph to school and jogged 5 mph back, and the whole trip took one hour, how many miles is it to the school?
captainburke 5
I made ur comment -99 ;D
Akatilleyusmc 2
138, I believe it is at most 2 miles to school. Your question didn't say whether sir nazi spent any time at school. If he did not stop at the school it should be 2 miles each way.
deBlobX 12
*you're...bazinga.
astralvagan 20
Yet you're still using the wrong word while trying to correct them....

Apparently OP, and the thousands who major in math? Just a guess.

People who want to make a difference in the world I guess...

Why'd I get thumbed down?
DespairFaction 11
59- So people who don't major in math don't make a difference in the world? 75-you don't need to major in math to get a good job and make money. Stupidity makes you a ton of money ex. Jersey shore and Jack ass. Oh and my original post was just sarcasm.
saintsrocksocks 10
107, well excuse me. I guess I should have known you were being sarcastic. I just figured you were mentally handicapped. Which I still slightly believe.
DespairFaction 11
I must be mentally handicapped because I'm not sure why you would resort to name calling. I didn't say anything rude or impolite, simply clarified that the comment was sarcastic. It's cool though hope you have a great night kid.
BatemanFML 0
125- are you getting butthurt over a comment a 13 year old kid made? Oh, and I may not be a math major, but I am 20 years old, graduated college almost 3 years early, and minored in math. I make over 100k a year. What is the median salary in America again?
DespairFaction 11
148- Hell no. Good job buddy.
FaraPjJammaz 13
It's their choice! They'll just have to face the consequence

You might be a math major but sociology is probably something you need to study
pokefan813 16
Or maybe op's room mate is an ass-hat major.
ballbearing 10
Sociology does not teach you social skills. It's the study of society, not sociability. I'm hopeless with math, I wouldn't let a math major help me study simply because I'd be too self conscience of the fact I am ridiculously clueless with math!
deBlobX 12
Yea and I think you need to drop assholology

Aw. Don't worry, you'll probably be their boss someday. Or have a higher ranking job, at least.

Nah, why would OP want to have such stupid people working for her?

Maybe they learned their lesson
ElricMustang 23
Well that's their problem. You did what you could. Can't say you didn't try.

You should tell them the percentages of their chances of failing without you helping them.

Either you aren't that great at math as you think (but I hope you are if you major in it) or you are annoying...

Where did it say this person is not good at math? The FML said the roommate and their friend were having trouble with their math.

That's their problem, use that knowledge to get a degree and make the big bucks!
