Today, a while after finishing and uploading a task, I looked at my peers' work to make sure I hadn't missed anything in mine. One of them had gotten the same idea and had decided to incorporate part of my work into his. "Part" as in "all". "All" as in all of his work is also all of mine. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I finished a huge project for work. It took 3+ days and I was very proud of it. Except when I submitted it to my boss, he said that he'd already asked another person to do it. He used that person's project, not mine. FML
Today, I finished part of a project. When I asked my coworkers what they thought, they said they liked one of the few things that had already been implemented almost a year ago. Thanks for noticing. FML
Today, I finished a 6-part project. It took me 7 hours of straight work because my partner decided I should do it alone. I then learned that the reason my partner did not help me was because the teacher e-mailed the leader of every group, saying the project was cancelled. FML
Today, one of my colleagues was asked to rewrite an entire project, which I wrote last week. I'd spent more than 4 days writing it. FML
Today, we were all put in groups to make a presentation together. And by "together" I mean I pulled an all nighter to finish it by myself. My group criticized my work. 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 handed in an internship assignment that I have been working on for months. Once submitted, a pop-up showed, stating the assignment was 100% plagiarized. What was it plagiarized from? A student paper. My own, to be more specific - the exact same paper I had uploaded seconds before. FML
Today, I had a huge amount of work to get through. Two colleagues offered to help, because one had nothing else to do, and the other couldn't work until I was done. My boss got really pissed at me for "making" them do my job and wasting their time. FML
Today, my boss dropped a highly important and dense report on my desk that had to be finished by the end of the day. After the initial panic attack and hours of scrupulous work, I finished. She then asked me to pick up the revised copy, where my name was replaced with hers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should report them for plagiarism before you get in trouble for it

Ugh partner work. I'm sorry OP. Maybe talk to them about it, or run it past the person who told you to do the assignment?

Just say they copied you, that is nothing but plagiarism. But say it first before he tries to flip it on you.

Hurry and show your boss YOUR thing

go report the plagiarism, it's not fair that he'll probably get the good results when he didn't put in any effort at all and maybe cause you a lot of trouble. it's just not right and you don't have to feel bad about reporting him at all, you're just helping other people. if he can do it once, he can do it again.

Hey at least you turned it in first, but still report it before an my suspicion is placed on you!

Isn't the point of an open invite to allow anyone to go?

Report him. If you say something before you hand it in, they most likely won't punish you.

kill him, it's your only option

Hopefully there's a record of when you submitted your work. That way there'll be proof that your coworker copied yours.

Why would you be checking your peers work to make sure you didn't forget anything /after/ you'd already uploaded it? It's a little too late then, OP. You're an idiot, but not an idiot who deserves to be plagiarized.

Possibly just for clarification that they understood the assignment correctly, not so that they could change it or use other people's ideas.
