Today, as a physics teacher, I was testing a class to see how high a sound frequency they could hear. One girl claimed she could hear the sound even though it was physically impossible. Without thinking, I replied "Only dogs can hear this frequency." Needless to say, she was picked on all day. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bought a device that plays a high-pitched sound to teach my dog to quit barking. She's smart enough to learn that as long as she barks loud enough and long enough, she can't hear it. Quite the opposite effect to what I was anticipating. FML
Today, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML
Today, in physics class, my teacher was messing around with an air cannon and I accidentally blurted out, "Blow me!" It took me all of 5 seconds to realize why everyone was laughing. FML
Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML
Today, after our teacher had said this class would be very important and that we should take notes, instead of writing notes, I brought a recorder to class. After class, I listened to the recording, and all I could hear was muffled voices. FML
Today, after telling my boss about my hearing problem, she simply told me to "listen harder". FML
Today, my biology teacher asked the class a question, so I raised my hand and after I gave my answer, my teacher said, "You know, you have a voice for radio. It's very deep." I replied with "Do I? Thanks!" He added, "You also have the face for radio." The whole class laughed. FML
Today, during class, a girl had suggested how I, a 16 year-old guy, would be a high maintenance girlfriend. We sat and debated this, allowing for other people to listen in and agree with her, and eventually the entire class agreed with her. Even the teacher. FML
Today, a classmate posted a recording of a recent lecture on my university's Facebook page, so we could listen again and take notes at home. A few minutes in, I heard myself asking a question. I then heard snorting and some girl muttering "dumb cunt" under her breath. FML
Today, my stomach growled so loud in class that a boy sitting next to me thought his phone had vibrated. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She was probably lying and trying to sound superior if she claimed she could hear frequencies that are in dog-range, so I guess she got what was coming to her.

Actually what he said was not wrong. If she is claiming to hear it, then she deserves to be picked on, especially when it is impossible for her to have heard it. The classmates were wrong, but the OP wasn't

#1, sometimes people just say the first thing they think of. But this FML made me laugh so hard... FYL indeed, OP.

I really hope that comment made you feel better about yourself. Although, you should probably absorb some creativity if you want to keep the insults rolling.

Why would he think before he spoke in this situation? That was factual information. Think before you post.

I completely agree. How is providing correct educational information the OP' fault that the girl was made fun of?

It's not the OP's fault the girl looks like Lassie.

because #116 has a small penis and is very angry at the world, therefore he feels the need to get on the Internet and talk shit to people, because his balls and brain are so small that if it came down to a real life situation he couldn't stand up for himself. that's why he felt the need to call you a bitch.

Who say's its physically impossible? You're a shitty scientist if you don't believe in the falsification of theories by recalcitrant experiences.. she could prove that some humans are capable of hearing such high noises by being able to!
mitchem 3
the sound he was probably emitting has a huge gap between it and actual audible sound. alot of the time people just think they hear the noise.

Indeed. If she DID REALLY HEAR IT, her ears would hurt from someone clapping, or something. Did you know rats can her airplanes when they pass overhead?

Maybe the student just heard the wind passing between hear ears and got confused.

OP is also a shitty scientist as there are animals other than dogs who can hear above 20,000 Hertz. I learned that in S2 (8th grade, I think).

I have to agree with this. I have seen many examples of this happening just so people can get some attention.

Or.. She tricked herself into hearing it.

Some people can actually hear that high, but it's extremely uncommon. Probably just showing off like you said.

What's with the weird formatting of this FML?
KiddNYC1O 22
I was going to say... unnecessary space. They should indent the anecdotes.

Hey, whatever. You just made a neutral statement. I will however, say F your life for having a bunch of asshole students (minus the girl who was being picked on).
ddlovatolover 23
The girl being picked on was probably trying to show off anyway, and being an idiot.
