Today, a girl who's in charge of a group project that I get graded on, asked if Bill Gates was a Founding Father. She was totally serious. I'm screwed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a girl with a picture of One Direction as her desktop asked if I wanted to partner with her on a 70% law assignment. Two hours after saying no, I found out that she's a legal genius with a guaranteed job in the field and a near perfect GPA. FML
Today, I got a history project back that I worked very hard on. The teacher didn't bother to write any feedback, besides, "Did you even understand the assignment?" on the back. FML
Today, I found out that the huge project I've been working on for the past week is actually a group project. Everyone in my group knew. They were just letting me do the entire thing by myself because I'm "smart". FML
Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML
Today, I'm grading final projects for a junior level college class. A student finally turned in their work, after months of encouragement and coaxing. Half of it was plain wrong, the rest had so many spelling and grammatical mistakes, it appeared to be written by a drunk autocorrect program. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I had to do a PowerPoint presentation alone, since none of my group members showed up. I was given a big fat 0 for doing the presentation alone. It was worth 50% of my grade. FML
Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, during a lecture, my teacher jokingly talked about the time he was best buds with George Washington. Another student then asked, "Really? You knew him?" I'm in an advanced placement U.S. history class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow. I wish she was trolling. Haha maybe you could try and let her not do that much work for the project, even though she is the leader...Wow she must be really stupid.

She is so dumb, everyone knows Bill Gates is Batman

This girl is clueless. Just "Google" the answer on your laptop and show it to her. That should clear up any misconception on her part.

Am I the only one who wishes to abolish the "No Child Left Behind Act?" I think there should be exceptions and in this FML's case, I think she needed to be left behind for her own good.

Maybe she was thinking about National Treasure, where the main character is Benjamin Gates. That's my guess

you could call him a founding father of the modern age, but no, definitely not an American founding father. I suck at american history, it's pretty common for nationals to know more about the history of other countries better than their own.

If it makes you feel any better, the smartest kid in my class thought that China was in Europe.

One reason why group projects suck.

A while ago, I was in a group with this guy for a history project that was worth a large percentage of our final grade. Within the first few moments of working, he turns to me and asks "John F Kennedy was president right before Obama, right?" He didn't take my word for it either, because then he started asking nearby groups if "JFK was 43?"

She probably meant Ben Franklin
