Today, after finishing a huge French essay, I realized my printer wasn't working. So, I emailed it to a guy in my class to print and then give to me. When I get to French, he said he had already turned his in early and never got my email. It turned out he used mine. I got an F on the essay. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I forgot to do my French homework, but since it was an online worksheet, I told my teacher my internet wasn't working. I told her with an e-mail. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I did a 3 hour long assignment for school. I was bored so I gave it the title "F***ing Assignment for a F***ing Teacher." I went downstairs only to discover that the printer was out of ink. So I sent it to her email, then I realized that I didn't change the title. FML
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML
Today, I got my language final exam back. It was a 10-page essay front and back, and I saw that I received a D. The teacher told me the plot was too hard to follow and it jumped all over the place. It turns out he forgot to read the back of every page. FML
Today, my teacher told me that she couldn't find my hand-written essay on the Renaissance, and that I have to re-do it all by tomorrow. I later saw my essay on her desk, covered in a massive coffee stain that made virtually everything unreadable. FML
Today, after waiting two weeks for an email with my online textbook access code, it still hadn't arrived in time for my quiz tomorrow, so I ended up spending most of my money on the expensive physical copy. Not long after I got back home, the email finally arrived. FML
Today, I was frustrated at work so to have fun, I wrote an email to myself saying that I was great and loved myself and should relax. I used all different colors and fonts. Instead of hitting "delete", I hit "print" without realizing. My manager got it out of the printer and put it on my desk. FML
Today, I had to hand write a 10 page essay for one of my classes. When I turned it in I got an automatic zero. It was written in blue. Not black. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

WAYS TO AVOID THIS SITUATION: Take the paper with you to school, print it out at a lab. Take the paper with you to Kinko's, print it out there. Finish and print your paper earlier than the night before. Email your paper to French teacher. Go to a neighbor's house, print it out there. Email it to a REAL friend outside of your class, ask them to print it out and get confirmation that they are. WAYS TO SCREW UP: Email it to a guy in your class and assume he'll get it and dutifully print it out. Don't follow-up over the phone or anything. You're welcome.

i call fake. or you're an idiot. you'd have be an idiot to let that slide. go put it on a flash drive, show the teacher your email to the guy. anything. you can prove you wrote it. it's not like you can accidentally have a verbatim copy on your computer.

Or, you could have finished it early and not on the last minute and then put it on a USB to print at a library.

#2 has it on the nail. This is completely your fault. However, as stated earlier you have proof. Use it.

omg, that's horrible! hopefully you have proof and your teacher will believe you and that asshole will get suspended for plagarism

Yep, you should still have the e-mail which probably asked him to please print this and bring it to class for me or something along those lines. This should be easy to fix though. I've known a**holes that have tried to pull stuff like this before and it sucks.

Wow, that's... If you haven't already, I'd contest the grade with proof of your sent e-mail (if your e-mail saves them, I know some don't) and the essay on a flash drive, because that's not right. Or did your teacher think that you were the one who plagarized when you handed it in at a later date? WTH is everyone saying this is her fault? Maybe the OP and this guy were friends - it could have been quite late when she (sorry if you're male) e-mailed him. Yes, okay, maybe it's a lesson in why procrastination doesn't work, but it's not like she knew he was going to turn out to be an asshole who is a cheater.
