Today, I gave a presentation to my college class about life with Tourette syndrome. I only got 3 minutes into it before my asswipe classmates started yelling stuff like "Shit!", "Cock!", and "Bob Saget!" I gave up and went back to my seat in tears as our bored instructor said "Next." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 was giving a presentation in front of my class. Mid-speech, I felt a sudden urge to sneeze and tried to hold it in. Instead, I let out the most obnoxious, window-rattling sneeze imaginable, complete with a spray of snot, which landed on my notes. I think I traumatized my classmates for life. FML
Today, I ran out of toilet paper in the bathroom. I was forced to use tissues to do the job. As if that wasn't bad enough, the sanitizer in the tissues gave me a rash that made me have to stand up frequently in the lecture hall. Several people asked if I had Tourette's. 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 gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I had an extreme panic attack in the middle of class. I interrupted another person's presentation, burst into tears, and ran out of class whilst everyone looked at me. 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, 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
Today, I presented the worst seminar presentation probably in the entire history of my graduate department. I kept stumbling over questions, and overall, making an ass out of myself. I probably should leave my masters program at how thoroughly I burned myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I would imagine that college students would have the maturity level to act like adults for a small portion of their life. But i guess some people can't. Sorry to hear Op. Some people still act like 7th graders even when they're adults and its a tad stupid to put it frankly

As person who has a disorder that lies in the same branch as Tourette's, I feel your pain. I am sorry that you were treated with such disrespect.

Looks like ignorance is not bliss for everyone involved.

John Stamos! Kidding, but seriously, screw those guys.

Seriously, don't reinforce immature and disrespectful stereotypes.

what kind of college students are these assholes??Also why didn't your instructor do something?! I hope this isn't what college will be like when I go.

I hate to say it but you are likely in for a surprise. Maturity is not actually gained through simply getting older.

Also, depends on the college. You'll find more respectful, well-behaved students at colleges with a higher national ranking.

32-- not necessarily. I learned a lot more and was around older, more mature people when I got my associates degree. When I finished up my bachelors, I was around a lot of 'just out on my own for the first time' kids.

If you start out in community college, most of your classmates will be older. I've never seen anyone in my school act like this.

Don't be discouraged. 1 college and 2 universities and I've not experienced this level of immaturity. The only immaturity comes from kids who skip class and eventually fail and are put on academic probation, or drop out. But those types don't affect your experience much

That is so awful. I am surprised the instructor or one of your fellow classmates did not stick up for you or tell them to stop. I'm sorry OP; it was really brave of you to tell everyone something very personal about yourself.

Is this a class full of freshmen or frat boys? Cause that would explain a lot.

You need to report the teacher to the Administration.
