Today, I broke my dominant hand. My teacher insists we hand-write our essays. I called and asked if it was okay for me to type up the essays. She said no. I have two essays due tomorrow, which count for half my grade. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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
Today, I am expected to write an 8 page essay, due tonight. The reason why I don't even have one page yet? My mom decided to take away the only computer I have the essay saved on because I have an 'F' in English. The essay is for English. FML
Today, I received a Saturday detention because the assignment I'd handed in had different handwriting. I've been practicing my handwriting skills for the past month. FML
Today, I was told that, although I was sick on the last day before break, they would still accept the 24 page essay that I had written. Tonight, as I went to print it out, I found that my dad had "cleaned up a bit" on my computer, including the documents from last semester. I have school tomorrow. 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 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, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. 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 attempted to cheat on a test by writing some notes on my hand. During the test I had a question. I raised my hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You guys are dumb as ****. If he called his teacher, do you really think he would leave out the "I broke my hand, which is why I'm asking"?

To everyone who says he should have told the teacher that his hand was broke; you are morons. Why in the hell would he call her to ask if it could be typed and fail to mention that his hand was broke? Just type it up then bitch as loud and as hard as you can to anyone who will listen in the administration. Then bitch some more. If they don't listen then you arnt bitching loud enough. It will be accepted.

In college ... it is generally frowned upon when you cry to mommy. By around mid-degree, you should be able to solve your own problems without bitching to anyone.

OP could be in high school. The FML doesn't specify what kind of school they're attending. It may be a college-level assignment, but many AP lit classes treat essays the exact same way as a college english class would. And anyways if personal negotiation fails on all accounts, it's perfectly acceptable to seek leverage from a higher authority. People do it in the workplace all the time.

have your parents call the teacher or principal to let you have a break. if they don't listen, then type it anyways since you can't possibly write the essays.
