Today, I had an oral English exam to present in front of three teachers. Halfway through, I completely lost my voice. They failed me because they thought I was trying to play a prank. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I have a speech impediment and as much as I tried to keep it under control, it came out during the interview. I could tell the interviewers were trying to hold in their laughter. They ended the interview after 5 agonizing minutes, saying they’ll contact me. I left in tears. 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, my English teacher told me that I failed my grammar test. Her exact words were "You ain't gonna pass this class if you ain't gonna study." FML
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, we had a speaking assessment in Spanish class. When it was my turn, I yawned in the middle of a sentence, said, "Excuse me" and finished my sentence. She took points off because I hesitated and I spoke in English, not Spanish. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation when my voice cracked like a teenage boy going through puberty. The audience giggled every time it happened. FML
Today, I gave a presentation in class. I felt pretty good about it, until afterwards when I was told I lost points for communication because I'd been chewing gum. I wasn't, I just have a speech impediment. FML
Today, I had to give presentation at work, for which I'd extensively prepared. However, as soon as I started speaking, I had a sudden panic attack and forgot everything I'd rehearsed. I stumbled through the presentation, feeling the embarrassment steadily grow in front of my colleagues. I almost passed out. FML
Today, my French teacher set up a role-play scenario to act out in front of the class. During one of my lines, I mispronounced a phrase and called my teacher sexy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Go to a doctor and get a cert to prove you were not faking. It can happens for different reasons: a bug, stress, etc.

Try explaining to them what happened hopefully they will let you retake it

The problem is the trolls that actually pull that shit make it difficult to prove you really DID and it's not just a prank. Slackers make life difficult for everyone -_-

This had happened to me in 7th grade and they thought I was messing with them too. But I would suggest going to a doctor and getting something to make you feel better

#19 - 12 year olds aren't supposed to be on FML. Now go to sleep, it's past your bed time

#19- You remind me of an 8th grade girl at my school. The teacher said "oral", and she couldn't stop laughing and had to be excused. Why are people like that these days..?

That's true. They shouldn't be able to fail OP due to a medical excuse or problem

That sucks to hear. I hope there is someone you can talk to so at least You can have the option to retry the exam

You mean, "write to", right? Or do you mean after OP get's his/her voice back.

I feel ya. I've had this happen to me and even when I brought a doctor's note they failed me cause I didn't tell them I was sick. Good luck, I hope your teachers are more understanding.

That sounds like a bunch of horseshit. I hope you took it up with their superior or had a parent challenge their decision. that's ridiculous.
nana_star 27
Me being in 5th grade I had my mother talk to the principal. Maybe OP should call their mother. If that fails, cry, and then call a superior. Crying always works

Don't worry OP you'll have more chances in life just get back up on that hoarse and ride on.
