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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was passed over for the job of my dreams. I now have to watch as a girl I have on Facebook - a total moron - boasts daily about scoring the position instead. Turns out the interviewer was her uncle. FML
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
Today, my girlfriend got paid by the richest guy in our school to go to the Winter Formal with him. She took up the offer. FML
Today, the girl who tormented my life for nine years was hired at my part-time job. We're assigned to work together on a three-month-long project which will involve tons of communication. FML
Today, I asked a girl in my building out. She said yes, and told me her fee per hour. FML
Today, my sister and I heard back from a job we both applied to. I had used the knowledge from my MBA degree to write a six-page essay for the application, while she just copied and pasted hers from a random website. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, I found out that my ex-girlfriend got engaged to a coworker. I got her the job. FML
Today, I had an epic, two-hour conversation with a brilliant, beautiful future leader of our industry. She's an intern. I'm just some loser horndog of a senior manager in another department. FML
Today, it's the third time this year I was recommended to meet someone because we're "so smart, we'll get along." At dinner, this person complimented how I'd do great in their graduate course on data science. I helped develop the degree program. I can't believe I missed pinball for this. FML
Today, I joined a dating website and spent all day filling out and improving my profile. My first match is a guy who relentlessly tried to date me for all 4 years of high school. Now he just has more reasons to tell me how much we're meant to be. We're a 97% match. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you say no because of their computer background?

She might have done it on purpose ;D
sturschaedel 27
I wouldn't even have noticed the background. I just would've asked what grade she was going for, and if it were the same or better than my goal, I would have said yes. The only thing that sucks if you want to ace a class and you are partnered with someone who just wants a passing grade.

Because some people are judgmental as hell.

Because it's one direction.

95, since I live in a time and place where I can control the media I consume, I have no idea who they are and what they look like. All I know (via the internet) is that they are supposedly an awful boy band. Since I'm too old for bands like that I never felt like investigating.

Although I probably would have done the same thing, it goes to show that we really shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Try not to beat yourself up over it(:

It's not even the fact that he judged her by the picture. It seems that he is in law school, right? To get into law school, one must be at least reasonably smart. Therefore, anyone that you work with should be competent enough to finish a project.

Unfortunately being somewhat smart isn't really required, sometimes all it takes is lots of daddy's money...

Pretty much what 101 said. A lot of schools let people in who aren't very qualified and just give them a crap financial aid package so they have to either take out loans to pay or pay completely out of pocket.

I never judge a book by it is cover.

#40 it is "it's". #4 had spelt everything correct.
maliaxox 20
No, the word is "its" because with the apostrophe, it would mean she said "don't judge a book by [it is] cover" ..

That was so true...

OP never said it was a laptop.
lulinator 40
I thought it was safe to assume it was a laptop. If OP was close enough friends with their classmate to be in her place of residence and see her PC, OP would likely know that she's a genius and wouldn't have said no to being partners.
MandieL 27
Many people no longer have PC's, and use a laptop in place of one.

YDI for being a music snob.

Classic music snob logic.

That's what you get. Judgemental ass. I hope you fail.

That's a little harsh... I wouldn't want to work with a "directioner" because music is my career and my passion. Do I deserve to fail?
DoomedGemini 38
If you are one of the people claiming it's "not music", then yes. It drives me insane to hear that, especially from any artist. They aren't your thing, okay, but are you really saying you can decide what's music and what isn't?
Ichiya 29
Any song that is more than 50% computer generated is not real music in my opinion, but I'm no expert and people can like what they want.
MagnusDeus 24
#32 You really decided my answer before I said anything. I didn't say anything about my opinions about music.
DoomedGemini 38
Then why would you not want to work with a 'directioner'? The only reason I can see is because you are just as judgemental as op, which is sad because art, including music, should be about expressing yourself and being open minded.

Don't beat yourself up. Just remember not to do it next time and don't jump to conclusion on the intellectual status of people because of a desktop.

Good job. And I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to karma

I don't think karma has an account, but nice try though...
