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

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?

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

Maybe you should go back to school. What is it about the human ear that you think it is incapable of vibrating above 20kHz? I can hear above that and can feel above what i can hear (sonic motion detectors are very painful to me). So f her life for having an insensitive and stupid teacher.

I seriously doubt you can hear to 36 kHz, because that is about the sound of a dog whistle. Maybe you should stop making shit up. It is true that some people can hear better than others, but a dog whistle? lol Now a sonic motion detector, I would buy that because that isn't too far out of the average human hearing range, but a dog whistle is way out of the human hearing range, she was making shit up, you cannot hear sounds of 36kHz.

Average human hearing range is 20hz to 20kHz. It's also generally accepted that children's ears are more sensitive. Wikipedia says dog whistles are usually between 16 and 22kHz, not 36kHz. Seems to me that a normal 5 year old could definitely hear most of those frequencies, whereas as adults (my aunt and uncle) would not have been able to hear them.

OP, how high are we talking? How far above the normal range are we? If we aren't too far above it's entirely possible, even though technically it would be "in dog range." When I was little my aunt used to have a whistle for the dog that I could hear. No one else could hear it, so it must have been somewhat outside the normal range, but it couldn't have been that much higher than average. Some people are more sensitive to certain pitches.

I'm sorry, but this is such a stupid ass FML. P.S. Happy birthday to me! :D
