Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML
Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. FML
Today, I asked my classmate to look over my essay. His comments were longer than the essay itself. FML
Today, my teacher gave me a 0% on my personal narrative in my writing class. His only comment on the whole paper was, "Too long, didn't read." FML
Today, I got feedback on an essay I wrote, by my mum who is also a teacher. She said it was 'worse than most of her pupils'. She teaches 10-year-olds. I'm a 20-year-old student at university. FML
Today, I tried really hard for once on an assignment. I was told it was my worst work yet and that I may as well have turned nothing in at all. FML
Today, I received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Today, I lost a grade on an essay, because according to my teacher, I put much more detail into my analytical essay than I should have. FML
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Talk to him and see if maybe you can get the grade changed or something. That's not fair at all

I hope he was having a horrible day, or something.. At least then he'd have a semi-acceptable excuse for being such a dick.

He would probably retort "You attended the class."

If your in college you shouldn't have your teacher look over it, their job is to grade and teach not correct your work before you hand it in. Just saying, I had college professors the that would dock points for the student asking such things.

Agreed students expect way too much. Outside of a one professor that knew me personally(academic advisor) most would make sure you follow the basics and understand the assignment. Though everything else is left up to you. It isn't up to your professor to change your grade if your writing was bad or you felt mislead. They aren't writing it for you they can only give you general direction to make sure you meet basic requirements and see if you understand it.

I use to check if my teachers were even paying attention so I'd ramble on of stories like Hitler loved Blueberry Muffins and how Jesus loves breaking the law. It was amazing how many I got it by until one teacher noticed.

I'd say this is likely a case of the Teacher/Professor slacking off and letting a TA do the grading. I saw this a lot in college and if i knew the teacher had a TA, if i felt dissatisfied with a grade i'd take it to the Teacher and ask that they look it over personally and THEN give me a grade. I once got a D because the TA's only knowledge on my particular topic was heresay, and after the paper was re-evaluated i got a B-.
