Today, I went through my spam folder. I found out that I'd received several emails telling me that I have been sending emails containing essays for a class of mine to the wrong address. The term ended yesterday. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I discovered my ex has been signing my email up for various newsletters. I knew I was getting a lot of spam, but didn't know why. It became apparent when one of these emails had his name in it. FML
Today, I "answered" an email instead of "forwarding" it. As a result, there is a chance that my Master's thesis supervisor gets a message from me starting by the F-word, and complaining about my bad work and inability to understand a deadline. FML
Today, I realised that Gmail has been sending lots of important messages directly into the spam folder, where I never saw them. All were from people who I had either contacted myself, or had regular contact with in the past. One address even had a filter on it, specifying, "Never send it to spam." FML
Today, due to a change in our internal system, I set up an email filter at work that sent all incoming messages to spam. My boss had been sending me urgent updates all day, and I only realized when she came over and asked why I’d “gone radio silent.” FML
Today, I couldn’t figure out why I was getting so much spam in my professional email. My own mother thought it would be a hilarious “prank” to sign me up for a ton of random mailing lists. I missed an amazing job opportunity due to her bullshit. FML
Today, I found out there’s a university email platform I never knew about. I’m a freshman and I’ve been using my personal email to communicate with the lecturers. Now I’ve got a pile of assignments to do and most of them are overdue. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Today, I typed an essay on my friend's computer, so she forwarded it to me in a email and she made the subject "here bitch" as a joke. I then went to email the essay to my teacher. I forwarded it thinking nothing of it only to realize that I didn't change the subject name. FML
Today, I sent an email to my boss saying I'd fixed a glitch in our mail servers. He called me later, angrily shouting that I'd done a piss-poor job of fixing it, because my email had spammed his inbox with several hundred duplicate messages. FML
Today, I got a letter saying I was no longer a student at my college and my current work is void since I had ignored and refused to pay my tuition bill. Over the past month I've been deleting these pesky emails saying 'FINAL WARNING regarding payment' thinking it was more spam. They weren't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I see the meeting going something like this: Professor: I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you an F. OP: No! I'll lose my scholarship! Isn't there SOMETHING I can do? Professor: Well, there is ONE thing. OP: Oh, professor! Your shirt is so tight... Baw wah oh waoh wah oh wah /bad **** music poorly transliterated

Shit, that sucks man! at least you should still be able to prove you had sent the email with the attachment! I'm sure if you show it to them, they might let you off the hook!

If it was so important, why not make sure the receiver had received the mail? Sorry, YDI.

But is there no such thing as a mid-term? I generally knew what mark I was receiving in a class long before the term ended. OP definitely deserves it for not being on top of his work.

He could have asked if the professor got them.

That's why you should look through your spam folder at least once a week.

Spam folder fail. I don't even use mine. Just don't post your email on public websites or sign up for solicitation offers and you shouldn't get spam.

This really does suck. I'm not too sure how you're going to pull yourself out of this one.

Are you using an iPhone? It does that to me all the time as well.

Let me guess. You're using Outlook Express.
