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"?

eh should have completed your so-important essays well before you broke your hand. shit happens close to due dates get your work done early and you have plenty of time to deal with any nonsense.

a couple years ago, i broke my right elbow and wrist, which was my dominant hand, so it was completely immobilized. Write either completely illegibly with your left hamd and stick it to your bitch of a teacher, or type it. She has to accept it either way.

You are in college, there are lots of people who will do almost anything for money, first type up the essays and pay someone to write them up for you it shouldnt be that hard

Typing a whole essay with one hand would have been a FML too.

Do your best to handwrite the essay, turn that copy in, when your teacher complains that he/she cant read it, tell your teacher thats was he/she gets for making you handwrite your essay with a broken wrist. Let the teacher stew in their anger for a few minutes, then hand in the typed copy you made so that you would be prepared.

Did you mention to the teacher that your hand was broken or just ask if you could type it? If you give a doctor's note saying your hand is broken, your teacher cannot make you hand-write an essay... obviously. Also.. you should have not waited until the night before it was due... I agree with everyone else though.. if your teach knows its broken and still won't let you.. write it really messy and then if she complains go to your dean or principle.

I agree that it's a YDI for waiting for the last min to do your assignment, but in this case, I probably would have asked a friend or family member to hand-write it for me while I dictated, and bribed them with a free lunch or something. :)

Assuming your broken hand is in some type of cast or similar, wouldn't typing take twice as long anyways?
