Today, during class, a girl had suggested how I, a 16 year-old guy, would be a high maintenance girlfriend. We sat and debated this, allowing for other people to listen in and agree with her, and eventually the entire class agreed with her. Even the teacher. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after complaining that I had nothing to write about in my weekly journal for college, my professor suggested in front of everyone that I should get a girlfriend. FML
Today, a girl in my class threw a temper tantrum. Why? Because she wanted my seat. We're in high school. FML
Today, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML
Today, we had to evaluate each other in class. Apparently I'm a quarrelsome, uncommitted, commanding bitch. FML
Today, I was hitting on a girl who was getting ready to walk into the same class as me. We were waiting outside the room, so I told her that I'd heard the professor for the course was a total bitch. We walked into the room. I sat down at a desk. She stood behind the podium. FML
Today, at school I was sitting with a friend outside, talking about irregular periods and unshaven legs. Ten minutes into the conversation, a teacher sticks her head out the window above us and tells us to leave. We were distracting a classroom who were trying to finish a test. FML
Today, after I'd offered to make suggestions to my partner after she finished writing an essay for her college class, and she'd read my suggestions, we argued about every single point I wrote down. Despite telling her she didn't have to take any suggestions we argued for 2 days about it. The professor had the same notes as mine. FML
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today, I was doing a sewing project in class. My friend said we should get the teachers to model our designs. I said that I did not think I would have enough material to make clothes for one of the teachers. I said this in front of the whole class very loudly, while the teacher was right next to me. FML
Today, two girls who are in my class tried to talk to me about each other, not knowing the other had already spoken to me. They are best friends, but also hate each other, and seem to have taken me as the one to shit talk to about each other constantly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I feel like a high maintenance girlfriend would complain about being called that and post on FML to make it seem like they are being attacked

Well, would you be a high maintenance girlfriend? Also that sounds like a chill relaxed environment. Take it as a joke and laugh about it. (:

Well if the entire class agrees then there might be some truth there.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being high maintenance, and just because someone's high maintenance doesn't equate to them also being dramatic and/or always playing victim. Being high maintenance doesn't have to be taken as an insult lol

I'm always called high maintenance, by my boyfriend and his and my friends too, but I honestly don't mind. It's not really an insult, just a comment on my lifestyle.

Being called high maintenance is not a compliment.

Depends who is saying it. I know several people, who like high maintenance SOs for various reasons, and often feel that high maintenance SOs are a bragging point. Personally, I prefer (both for myself and my SO) high maintenance, but self maintaining (aka, likes to put a lot of work into themselves, but doesn't expect other to do it for them).

As you can read from my comment, I never really used the word "compliment", I mentioned it as a "comment". There's a difference :)
Whydoyouask 11
Being high maintenance is NOT ever a complement. Being high maintenance does not mean taking care of yourself, or putting time into his you look. It means having to put a lot of effort into keeping said person happy such as more complements than usual, more expensive gifts, more dramatic, ect...

I am curious about her side of the debate

Don't stress OP! Just take it with a grain of salt..

If you were willing to argue it with so many people, you only proved their point
TheNewGuy03 29
It is an option for OP to just STFU, find the nearest empty corner, and cry in it instead of arguing. That would also further their suspicions, however. OP can't win, really.
fakedsincerity 32
Sure the OP could win by going "haha yeah you're probably right" and changing the subject.

...then I suppose they would all collectively sigh and slowly go about their business.

in Holland we have a saying "better to be spoiled than to be neglected" so what you are you, there's probably some jealousy going on there aswell

I'm Dutch and can't think of any saying like that, how do you say it in Dutch?

Yay Dutchies!

If it was a rather calm and civil debate, and they all agree with the other girl, combined with the fact that you've complained about it on here, seems to ring true to me.

Only high maintenance people bitch about what other call them.

Throw a bitch-fit. See how they like it.
