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

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

Oh wow lol. I would kinda be proud of that actually. I'd rather like to hear better than others. Anyone else agree?

She deserves it for lying

guys use common sense. No one can have hearing on par with canines as it goes against human evolution as we never even had hearing that effective. The girl is obviously either insane or an attention seeker.

I don't know... I can hear high frequencies most people cannot. I have really bad eyesight so I think my hearing compensates for it. Poor girl!

Hey, she was the liar. Is there a she deserved it button?

She could have been telling the truth. It is widely believed that humans generally cannot hear above 20 kHz. I can hear up to 21 kHz. Maybe she just had an abnormal hearing range? (Especially if it was a sound just above the normal threshold.)

Well that'll teach her to not lie at least.

that's not even an fml
