Today, I found out that my roommate secretly edited a paper I wrote and recently turned in, so that it repeatedly refers to the famed author "Kneel Gayman." I'm positive that's not how it's spelled. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, out of spite, I wrote "Ms. Piggy" instead of my professor's actual name in the heading of my essay. Guess what I forgot to do before turning it in. FML
Today, I discovered the guy that sits next to me in class is actually a girl. Not only is that bad, but we had to write a paper about each other. I used the words "him" and "he", and read it to the whole class. FML
Today, after I'd being sick all day, my boyfriend volunteered to do my very long sociology paper. I was later notified by my professor that the paper I'd submitted was completely plagiarized. FML
Today, I got an email from my professor with my grade for a paper. It said, "Solid writing, but you should have proofread your final draft more carefully." In a moment of annoyance, I typed in the reply box, "God should have proofread your FACE more carefully." My elbow hit the send button. FML
Today, my university professor asked us to submit anonymous course feedback. I wrote three paragraphs criticizing his lectures. Ten minutes later, I realized I'd left my full name at the bottom of the page. FML
Today, I had to proof-read a terrible paper containing a bunch of mistakes. It took me 4 hours and I didn't eat dinner until I was done. His response when he got it back was, "What the fuck did you do to my paper?! You bitch!" FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Today, I found out why my biology class TA, who takes the class alongside the other students, was always so eager to collect my work. Turns out, she's been erasing my name on my papers and writing hers in all semester. My failing final grade has already been finalized. FML
Today, I met up with my group for class. We were doing some final checks on the project we've been working on all semester, when I realized something about one guy's work seemed off. I googled it and found out it's almost completely plagiarized. It's all due in the morning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"My roommate secretly edited a paper" obviously means "I wrote this bullshit while drunk off my ass".

Why does your roommate have access to papers you write?

I think the better question is why did his roommate take the time to edit his paper to say "Kneel Gayman" whenever OP refers to a particular author.

Find and replace. Takes a few seconds.

@#34 Neil Gaiman.

@#35, True, but that doesn't help when the paper is already turned in.

#51 I was responding to #34 thinking it would take time.

I think he's saying he noticed after looking it over after he had turned it in

I like Doc's idea more...

#7 -- then the "FML" is that the OP doesn't know how to properly lock down their computer. While it's true that the OP's roommate is a douche, it's also true that the OP doesn't take basic precautions with their computer.

Also that OP never learned to reread papers before printing. Maybe Im just obsessive but I always check papers one last time before printing them.

StaceyLynn - You say "obsessive" but I read "careful".

I even look over them one more time after printing just to be sure.

I like the way you think #9 or shave your pubes with his razor

I think making him a dog shit sandwich sounds best. Just spread it on toast like mayonnaise. It's what I'd do.
