Today, I failed an oral speech because "I didn't look up once." The problem was, every time I looked up, my teacher looked down. Every time I looked down, she looked up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML
Today, I realized just how bad my problem with making eye contact is, when I caught myself looking the other way when the singer in a music video looked directly at the camera. FML
Today, my teacher walked into class and said, "Look to your left and right, one of those persons you just looked at will fail the upcoming exam." When asked why, she said too many people passed last year's exam. She was dead serious. FML
Today, my crush was giving a presentation in class. I zoned out and began staring off into space - which happened to be in the exact direction of his crotch. When I realized what I was doing, I quickly looked up at his face. He was already looking at me, with an expression of severe discomfort. FML
Today, I had an oral English exam to present in front of three teachers. Halfway through, I completely lost my voice. They failed me because they thought I was trying to play a prank. FML
Today, I went to kiss my girlfriend on the cheek at school. I missed, and walked away awkwardly. Later on, a teacher stopped me and told me how bad I failed. FML
Today, we had a speaking assessment in Spanish class. When it was my turn, I yawned in the middle of a sentence, said, "Excuse me" and finished my sentence. She took points off because I hesitated and I spoke in English, not Spanish. FML
Today, I gave a presentation. My teacher deducted points because I "need to learn how to speak more confidently, because you often stumble over your words." I have a stutter. FML
Today, I gave a presentation in class. I felt pretty good about it, until afterwards when I was told I lost points for communication because I'd been chewing gum. I wasn't, I just have a speech impediment. FML
Today, I monitored my students as they conducted a lab experiment. I was walking to the other side of the room while looking at a student who seemed about to ask a question. When she looked up at me, I walked into a wall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ahaha, exactly! Win! I don't look up.

I can't look up if I'm in 69, otherwise I just see balls and feet.

I don't look anywhere when in 69. There's nothing to see. Just focus on the task at hand. Or watch the movement.

Not if you throw in a lot of "Yee-haws" during your ride, and if he tries to get up and make it doggy-style, yell, "Bad dog, no biscuit! Down, boy!" and kick him with your spurs. Toxi, you should get your way. Insist on it!

Ehhh, no! I'd rather him take charge. But let's not go into all that.

I agree. In speeches it is really common that someone tapes it. Unless the speech was in a classroom and it was a project.

And here I thought student + teacher + oral ALWAYS ended up in a perfect grade. EDIT: Wow by the time I posted the joke had already been done... multiple times...

If you talk to much when you are doing it, you can fail. Also, if your dirty talk includes, "It smells down here," "Do you have any infections?" or "This does not taste like any tuna I ever had," you can also fail.

Ugh. I can relate. My speech teacher gave me two 40s on a project because I didn't "work as hard as everybody else". Apparantly using an 11x14" posterboard is too small and it wasn't fair for everyone else who used ******* tri-folds...

Maybe you were giving her oral so badly she was embarrassed to make eye contact with you.

i know teachers grading speeches look up most of the time and only look down to glance at/write notes. you should be maintaining eye contact with the audience for pretty much the entire time anyway. YDI for not knowing how to give a presentation.

Of course, there's the other end of the spectrum where you're just staring at each other the whole time. Which is creepy, but at least it gives them the impression that you're listening!
