Today, I had to Google how to find the area of a circle. I'm working on my PhD in engineering. FML

Today, I realized that a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering does not offer enough knowledge and experience to accomplish some simple, everyday tasks. I have spent the last 12 years designing large robots to scour the seabed for shipwrecks yet the mechanism used to unhook a bra eludes me. FML

Today, I went for a job interview for a building position at a retail store. They saw on my application that I was good at math. They asked me what the circumference of a circle is. Being nervous during the interview, I accidentally said the area of a circle. I didn't get the job. FML

Today, it was still easier for me to get an engineering PhD than it is to get a girlfriend. FML

Today, my boss quit, leaving me as the only structural engineer at my company. I'm fresh out of college and will have to finish the projects on my own. Hope Google can teach me how to do this. FML

Today, it appears that I spent three years of my life studying for a degree to find myself driving around looking for potholes. That's literally my job. I didn't even study roading, my civil engineering degree is in designing structures. FML

Today, I have a degree in electrical engineering, my wife was doing a crossword and asked me what are the units of capacitance, I couldn't remember. FML

Today, I asked my college chemistry teacher for some much-needed help. Instead of explaining anything to me, she scoffed that if I don't understand something, I should "just Google it." FML

Today, I got into a heated, one-sided argument with my GPS, and ended up driving around in circles for an hour due to roadworks messing with my GPS's computations. FML

Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

Today, I have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML

I'm 15 and I know the area of a circle=pi r2 and the area of a sphere=3/4 pi r3

I think that volume is wrong. Integrating a r^2 which is present in a circle to get the r^3 in volume would give you a 3 in bottom, not the top.

Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear area of a circle equals 3.14r^2

It's 3.14x radius squared because there is 2 radiuses Ina. Diameter

Hey, what did the engineer say to the tool maker? "Would you like fries with that?" Point in case once again that 99% of engineers are a waste of space... But congrats, you are NOT the 1%. #occupyfuturemcdonaldsenployee

Really, you've never forgotten something that you once knew well then?
