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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

I can't believe anyone could act like that, I am glad that in my high school we are taught to respect each other during presentations and if anything like that happened the teachers would do something about that. Thats awful OP im sorry.

If that had been me, man... The profanities from my mouth would have been plentiful AND voluntary. I feel your pain, OP. I have a mild form of Tourette's. Just enough to be a pain in the ass, and to make other people a pain in the ass. I've gotten remarks about cussing, too. (FYI, the involuntary wearing is another disorder entirely, one that sometimes goes hand in hand with Tourette's but isn't always a package deal. I personally do cuss a lot, but it's completely voluntary.)

Oh gosh why are they acting like middle schoolers while they're in college? Real immature of them. Still, I think you bursting into tears is a tad bit overreacting =

Your classmates have been watching too much Tourette's Guy. Which is a mix of Tourette's but **strongly** influenced by copious amounts of alcohol and lack of anger management. Props to you for having the balls to stand up and speak on something you feel strongly about. They are indeed assholes. YouTube can be dangerous tool in the hands of the uneducated.

At least nobody yelled "Piss! Piss in my ass!!" Southpark reference for the lames that don't get it.

What about those of us who climbed up on South Park in 1997 when it really was cutting edge and funny as shit, and then got tired of it after 4-5 years because it was just pretentious and boring? Sorry, but piss in my ass can't hold a candle to Cartman's ass satellite dish.
