Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my brother and I got in a fight and he told my friends that I am mentally disabled. They believed him. Apparently, "everything makes sense now." FML
Today, out of my whole class, I received no awards. All my teachers thought that I would get plenty from the others. Now people think I'm stupid. I have a 3.66 GPA and they won't believe me. FML
Today, I was told that when I was in middle school and thought I was considered class clown for either making jokes or acting stupid, people thought I actually was stupid and/or mentally challenged. FML
Today, I found out everyone in my neighborhood thinks that I'm a beaten woman due to the reoccurring ambulances in front of my house at night. My kid just chokes on everything, and they don't believe me. FML
Today, I realized that a kid in my class is actually autistic and didn't have ADHD. The teachers went out of their way to lie that he has ADHD and not autism. No wonder people thought I was a "retard" (their words, not mine) when it came out that I had ADHD and started using classroom accommodations. FML
Today, I found out why I'm always let off easy when I do something wrong at work. They think I have a mental handicap. I don't. I'm just clumsy and forgetful. FML
Today, I was told by my teacher that she had 'given up' teaching me because someone had told her I have a mental illness, and that I don't understand what she says. FML
Today, I found out that I was held back in preschool because of some developmental issues. My parents didn't think it was important enough to mention it to me. Why hadn't I figured it out? They also lied to me about how old I was. FML
Today, I found out that the reason all my former friends believed a bunch of rumors about me was because the person they were hearing them from was my former roommate. For two years I wondered why they didn't just ask me, now I know it's because they thought if anyone would know the truth, it would be her. UGH. FML
Today, I found out my mom had been telling everyone how independent I was and just wanted to be left alone. I was homeless when I graduated valedictorian from high school and wondering why no one would let me stay with them, even when it was snowing. Now I know. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you care what the neighbors say or think? Just live your life and they'll figure it out sooner or later.

why does every FML about school say they have a 4.0 GPA? I find that hard to believe. I'm saying OP is liar and probably has only a 3.0 GPA.

No it's definitely possible. I've had a 4.0 my entire life..

@59: Congratulations. And that lifetime achievement has afforded you the ability to be a cheerleader and alcoholic at only 15! By 16, you might even be a high class madam with your own cat-house!

Shut up! I'm a cheerleader with a 4.6 GPA.

Show them you got an accepted letter from a top college or an university like as Harvard...

And WE ALL KNOW that Harvard never graduates assholes. I seem to find Harvard and Yale produced two of the most dumb-ass Presidents; one who couldn't string a coherent sentence together, and now another who can't speak without a tele-prompter.

A 6 GPA isn't even possible, unless you are screwing the system with a shitload of extra credit. Highest I have ever seen from this was a 4.2 though.

I have a 75.0 GPA. I am screwing my teachers. Beats studying.

Your grammar repels me. FIrst, I have multiple teachers who are not even close to fat. And second, I am a certified Grammar Nazi. For the people who complain about us Grammar Nazis: Yes, I am aware of the horrid past with Nazis, and you may call me insensitive to the Jewish people, the Catholic people, et cetera. I would rant more on this but I have my Catholic Children's District class to attend soon. @OP: I'm sorry that they think you're mentally retarded, but hey, think of all the fun you can get. Maybe you can hire one of them as your caretaker so they have to feed you, help you in the bathroom, et cetera. I suggest choosing the hottest one that's closest to your age, though.
