Today, I had to present a powerpoint in front of my class. When I was finished, no one clapped. On my way back to my seat, I slipped on a pencil and fell straight on my face. That's when everyone clapped. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave a big presentation to my class. It included PowerPoint slides and video clips of the country I'd been researching. Another student did a presentation on the same country, except he just read from its Wikipedia page. He practically got a standing ovation. I got a single clap. 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 was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML
Today, I was in class when all of a sudden I was hit in the head by a metal pencil case. My teacher threw it at me to get my attention. FML
Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. 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, after giving a speech at college, I did the good ol' mic drop. The microphone fell with a loud bang that was heard through the clapping. FML
Today, I was giving a class presentation, when I suddenly sneezed so hard I wet myself. FML
Today, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML
Today, I was messing around in computer class when somebody called my name from the hall. Trying to be smooth, I tried rolling my chair backwards out into the hall. The wheels wasted no time jamming and sending me crashing face-first into the floor in front of everyone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How do you know that the OP is a liar? Were you there? Did the OP tell you herself? It's "highly unlikely". Even if it were "highly unlikely" as you claim, then there would still be a small chance that it happened. Not everyone slips backwards, sometimes people slip forward depending on their footing. Maybe you should try it some time so that you can bash your skull in on the ground. Then we'll have one less retard in this world. Hmm...I think I'm getting better at this. What do you think, Kay? Doc? Doortje? Anybody? :(

Only because they said "today" doesn't mean It happened today.

I am sorry OP, you must have been so humiliated. Just keep your head up and maybe try to get to know some people in your class. They may not all be so bad.

It's no big deal. with our society today, they will forget about it soon because they will find something stupid to pick on another person

stepping on a pencil isn't so bad, but if you drag your feet and hit a pencil.. shit gets intense

sounds like your presentation sucked but they liked how you fell, I guess they liked it when you hurt yourself so maybe your a real jerk and they just never told you to your face.

I totally agree .

Sounds like they really wanted to see a magic trick.... But, seriously, why would you expect people to clap at what I presume is a presentation directed at informing/educating rather than entertaining or impressing?
ImaginaryFoe 1
Agreed. Did people clap for anyone else's presentations? Never in school or at work have I ever seen anyone clap at a presentation.

Really? People clapped after pretty much every presentation in every school I've gone to, though more so in college than high school.
