Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML
Today, while grading my kindergarteners' spelling tests, one kid spelled all the words wrong, including his name. FML
Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML
Today, I accidentally called my teacher "Babe." FML
Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML
Today, one of my students corrected the problem I had solved on the board, explaining that you do multiplication before subtraction. I teach the second grade. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, while my teacher was in the middle of a lecture, I accidentally made it so my laptop would display everything upside down. It took me the rest of class to get it right side up again. FML
Today, I walked into the wrong classroom, sat down, took notes for ten minutes, and only realized my mistake when the professor asked me to introduce myself and explain why I was there. I wasn’t even enrolled in the class. FML
Today, I was teaching a ten year old how to play piano. Halfway through the lesson, she made a minor mistake, which, trying to be a good tutor, I corrected her. She smiled up at me, paused, then slammed the key cover down onto my fingers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh my gosh, calm down people. People not using "your" and "you're" correctly drives me insane too, but sometimes when you're writing quickly, especially on a white/chalk board while talking, you make a mistake. It happens. If the OP tried to argue with the student before realizing his mistake, then yes, the OP would have been an idiot. But that doesn't seem to be the case. No one is perfect. OP- Hopefully the student wasn't a complete douche about it like these people. Try to be more careful next time.

Ooooooh, urine trouble! That's always confused me -- is it "Days of Your" or "Days of You're?"

Amusing that there are so many YDIs when nobody on this site can seem to differentiate either.

You're an idiot. Get off the internet.

You're a troll. At least you used the correct "You're" though; I guess I have to give credit where credit is due.

Only 4 things in this world annoy me. 1) You're/Your confusion 2) Its/It's confusion (the most common, but still annoys me) 3) There/Their/They're confusion 4) The unbelievable abuse of apostrophes on the internet. Or as the abusers would have it, apostrophe's >:( I'm one of those students who points it out, I have to admit. I have pretty bad grammar I think, but I cannot stand the above things and double negatives. And yes, more things annoy me, but that was for the purpose of the post :)

You can handle the lose/loose, loser/looser errors? Those really chap my ass! I love it when people call each other "loosers."

I hate when people say "loose" when they really mean "lose."

Please just kill yourself. You're the moron teacher that spawns all the fucktards on the Internet and in real life who use the wrong "your".
