Today, I gave a big presentation to my class. It included PowerPoint slides and video clips of the country I'd been researching. Another student did a presentation on the same country, except he just read from its Wikipedia page. He practically got a standing ovation. I got a single clap. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to present a powerpoint in front of my class. When I was finished, no one clapped. On my way back to my seat, I slipped on a pencil and fell straight on my face. That's when everyone clapped. FML
Today, I had to do a PowerPoint presentation alone, since none of my group members showed up. I was given a big fat 0 for doing the presentation alone. It was worth 50% of my grade. FML
Today, I gave a talk in my management class about creating effective presentations and holding people's attention. Go figure, pretty much nobody paid any attention. FML
Today, I gave a presentation for my final on class. While I was giving the speech my shirt strap broke. I ended up flashing everyone including the teacher. At least I got an A. FML
Today, after I spent 3 days preparing for a presentation and practiced it at home. It was my turn in class, but my laptop wouldn’t connect to the projector. The teacher said, “Just explain without slides,” which erased my entire brain. I stared at my classmates in silence before blurting out, “The slides explain it better than I can.” FML
Today, I had to do a presentation. No one else in my group showed up, so I had to do it alone. I was given a failing grade for presenting by myself, and therefore not being a "team player". FML
Today, at university, I worked up the courage to speak up in a lecture hall of 200 people. I raised my hand, made my point, and felt pretty good until the professor said, “That’s exactly what I said like five minutes ago.” Half the room turned to look at me like I'd just woken up from a nap mid-class. Which I had. FML
Today, I failed a final presentation. My partner, who did none of the research, presented the entire project, talking over me and glaring when I spoke up. He denied everything and the professor didn't believe me. Now I have to retake this class with the same professor. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation to my college class. I've had a natural stutter my whole life, so I stuttered through the whole thing. My professor tried to hold in her laughter for 15 minutes. FML
Today, I had a presentation for my university class. The bus was 5 minutes late, and I ended up getting to class right on time. As I took a seat, my group was asked to present. I panicked and totally bombed my presentation. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wut?!

In other words, he's plagiarizing.
ninjajoehenes48 8
Actually #9, "it's" was the right form. He forgot to use a comma but he was saying "it is" copyright. And it isn't copyright, it's plagiarism.
ygdrassil 17
Wouldn't it be "it's copyrighted", anyway?
feelingold 18
Somethin tells me FML isn't the place for a good grammar debate. Have you ever tried to Moderate? "No, No, Learn English b*tches, No, Wrong, No."

#4 - You are as dumb as you look.

impossible 75, impossible.

He's probably one of the popular kids who's apparently "cool" it's okay OP you probably got a better grade anyways

#73, I can relate.
monkeyman2772 7
yep. I turn down half of them because of the truly crap language used. :-(
SBurrke 11
Yeah, but then he'll be made fun of for being a snitch. Kids are assholes man.
groovycrazyjoe 18
should report him
ninjajoehenes48 8
Wow 29. Are you just here to call people out on all their mistakes?
Lizardgirl 7
No offense, but being a grammar Nazi all the time is kind of lame, FreshPie.
groovycrazyjoe 18
dude everyone get the message jackass, how do you like that subject

Would you cry from happiness because of the correct use of grammar, or despair because it's true?
groovycrazyjoe 18
this had nothing to do with getting laid, true dick
lionheart822 13
@41-You're not concerned with things seeming "lame" online. And yet you go out of your way to correct any grammatical mistake on the Internet. Yah;whom you's kidden?(that last sentence was just to piss you off). I'm truest sorry if it didn't work.

Plagiarism is a big deal in college. Somebody should have noticed something!

Oh, you got me! Now you only have all the other people in the world who use this saying too... Good luck:)

won't*
eksyneet 23
whatever, man. people can be really stupid sometimes. at least you know that you are capable of doing original research. you can be sure that at some point in your life you'll need that skill so I suggest improving it regardless of how much appreciation you get.
SWhimsynBubbaS 14
Your picture makes me sad that it doesn't go on forever, but for OP, he's right! Embrace your skill, it will be very helpful in the long run :)
dalink 24
Could be that OP has solid research skills, but not much in oratory. Doing a great presentation is more than the sum of your ppt and knowledge.

Just burn a giant lower case "t" outside his front yard. He will, of course, realize that it stands for "Time to leave".
jaredofmo 22
Or that Tumblr is out to get him. ... Tumblr would get him, if they'd actually leave their computers.

That's why our previous teacher used to put fake stuff in Wikipedia and fail anyone who cited it.
wjh100 13
I put something in wikipedia incorrect and it got moved back to the most recent correct info in under 30 seconds. if you don't site the sources it just deletes what you wrote. so bs.
anonymousguy1569_fml_fml 8
Not necessarily. I've changed a couple of pages on Wiki to something that's incorrect and it hasn't been changed for days! It just needs someone to report it or change it back. Now it gets changed quicker due to more people using it but in the past it was really unreliable source of information.
RadikulRam 16
#8 You should check when it was last updated, and report your teacher. My friends ALWAYS change wikipedia, don't cite and use it in arguments, they still can't figure out how I know exactly when they edited it, or their IP (wiki supplies IP for non members).
shaww 28
Wow, I just found out how to do my next report!
NoDontKillMe 19
And fail, I hope?
VeganVampyre 27
Apparently not, from the sound of the fml.
Marmarfarfar 25
Atleast you know you put more work into it. The teachers opinion is what matters anyway, and they usually catch plagerism.
ozpunker 20
I hope the teacher picked up on it.
feelingold 18
OP isn't upset about his grade (probably far better), he's upset about his lack of popularity. OP, here's a lesson: doing a full-on audio-visual presentation on Uzbogjanzakhistan is NOT going to get you any love from your classmates. Try getting a fake ID.
worldclassrager 41
Honesty is the best policy...you better get a higher grade...
