Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I asked my professor what happened to the assignment I gave him several weeks ago. Turns out he lost it, and graded me zero as a result. Now if I want a mark, he says I'll have to hand-write it all over again, but that I "probably shouldn't bother," because it was "a bit shit, really." FML
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, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML
Today, I found out why my biology class TA, who takes the class alongside the other students, was always so eager to collect my work. Turns out, she's been erasing my name on my papers and writing hers in all semester. My failing final grade has already been finalized. FML
Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML
Today, I left my grandmother's burial to take a midterm. Earlier I e-mailed the professor to ask permission to take it later, and she flat out said "no." I left my grieving family, and traveled hours back to school. I went to class, only to discover that the prof decided to move the exam date. FML
Today, I was separating my notes into two piles: one to save for exam studying and one to throw out. I finished separating, picked up the junk pile, and absentmindedly shredded it. Afterwards, I looked down to see the junk pile still completely intact. Goodbye, passing grades. FML
Today, I found out why my professor accused me of not handing in an important essay before the due date. Apparently she spilled coffee all over it and didn't dare to tell me. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML

Go to the dean. Her negligence is not your problem - you did the work required by the course as outlined in the syllabus. Any other fuckups are entirely on her.

You guys realize that most midterms are not typed right? Term/midterm papers are, but the OP specifically said exam.

Thank you! It wasn't a paper or assignment…it was an exam. Hand-written, and done in class. Kind of hard to save a copy of that on the computer...

did you write the whole thing out by hand? sounds like this is an embellishment of maybe her asking to have you guys print another copy because that happened. you deserve it

I'm leaning towards blaming the cleaning staff. The papers where on TOP of the desk and they were not crumbled.... I think. Which in any case, it could be a message from God telling you to pop a better midterm out of your ass.

Why does everyone think this was done on a computer? I think there's a much higher chance that this was an in-class, handwritten exam... no saved copies, sadly :(

the cleaners didn't think it was trash... this is an annual prank they pull off every year. now you know revenge is called for, go to the bathroom and smear poo on the mirrors.

The cleaners were probably struggling authors who read the papers and judged them to be trash and saved the prof from the tedium of reading them. On the do-over try not to be derivative and banal ... your paper has become tiresome, now's the time on Shprockets ven vee dance!

YDI for not reverse-copying the ink onto a sheet made of putty.

it was a MIDTERM. An EXAM. When was the last time you walked into class and they allowed you to take the exam on a computer and then save it so you can print it out later?
