Today my college professor told me that I ask him too many questions. Apparently, my college tuition fee doesn't include learning. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my college charged me for tuition for next semester. I graduated two years ago. I have a degree from a place too stupid to only charge current students. FML
Today, I found out that I've been paying student fees for the wrong account. Apparently I have been paying for some other student's tuition. FML
Today, my college professor handed every student a note card and told us to rate his looks from 1 to 5. Is this what I pay $20,000 a year for? FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Today, my university required us to set learning goals for each semester and then evaluate them later. And no, the answer, "I want to learn whatever they teach me in the classes I’m taking" isn't permitted. Neither is picking your own classes. FML
Today, I drove to my college campus for my 8 a.m. class, parked, walked the mile and a half to my classroom, just to find out class had been cancelled. The prof didn't send an email because she couldn't remember her password. I paid $1200 to be taught by this woman, who has a doctorate. 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 found out that I was never actually enrolled in the class I've been attending all semester. I guess that explains why I only got $400 dollars in student aid, not the 1,200 they said I'd get. FML
Today, my professor spent the entire class showing us how to make paper airplanes. I pay over 40 grand a year for college. FML
Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How many questions do you ask? At some point, education devolves into spoon-feeding. Sometimes questions just indicate that you don't want to put any effort into learning.

Sometimes the job involves telling the student to exert some effort before giving up and asking questions.

Was this during class or during office hours? That makes a huge difference

If your questions are things that you’re curious about and don’t necessarily need to know, then you might be taking up time that he needs to teach other students the material they are also paying to learn. I asked too many questions in one of my classes and the teacher told me to write all my questions down and ask them at the end of the year.

If you're asking a bunch of questions during lecture, that means he can't get through everything he was going to lecture on so you're taking away from other students as well as yourself. If you're asking during office hours, that's another matter. Did he mean you're asking questions that should be answered in the reading, and you're asking before doing the reading?
