Today, I had to write a huge lab for my physics class. It's worth my entire quarter grade and I use a program on a CD for graphing. My mom thought it was a computer game and hid the CD. She can't find it. The lab's due tomorrow. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I am expected to write an 8 page essay, due tonight. The reason why I don't even have one page yet? My mom decided to take away the only computer I have the essay saved on because I have an 'F' in English. The essay is for English. FML
Today, I finished an exam in physics class. It counts for 40% of our grade. As I handed my paper in to my teacher, she said to the whole class while talking about me, "You did this wrong; this isn't how you do it." FML
Today, I asked my mom if she'd seen my financial calculator on my way out to an exam. She told me she'd tossed it in the donation pile that she'd taken to the Salvation Army this morning because it was "clutter." I needed it to take an exam required to pass the class, to graduate next month. The only place to buy a replacement was closed. FML
Today, I found out that my ten-page paper, which has taken me two months to construct perfectly and is worth 30% of my grade, was on the wrong book. It’s due tomorrow. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I finished my 83-page thesis for my Stanford class and put it on my desk. Then, as a prank, my girlfriend hid it. She forgot where she put it. The thesis is due in 3 days. FML
Today, my brother stole my hard drive and wiped it. My hard drive had a 10-page school project on it. The project is due tomorrow. FML
Today, I had my end of year physics exam. I wasn't sure about some stuff, so I hid my notes and textbook in the bathroom. Halfway through, I got up, went to the bathroom, and as soon as I picked up the book, forgot what I was looking for. I can't even cheat right. 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
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Or worse is when the parents tell you to get off the computer and ban/kick you off/unplug the computer because they think you're on games when actually you're on an educational website.

I have officially decided that everyone saying the OP deserves it for being a procrastinating moron/dipshit/insult of choice AFTER the OP posted saying he had everything done except the graphs is possibly too stupid to breathe. (That means anyone from comment #45 on.) Seriously, don't people read the comments to see if there are explanations further than what can be fit in the rather limited space? I guess not, given all the idiots so quick to assume that because the project is due on an unknown 'tomorrow' (given that it may have been tomorrow from when this FML was written, not from when it was posted) that the OP is just a procrastinator and deserves it. After all, we all know that people who are about to fail something due the next day because someone took something important of theirs was just waiting until the last minute to do it. (That was sarcasm, just so you numbwits know.) That said, OP, I hope you found a way to do your graphs. Not your fault your mom can't be assed to make sure the CD she stole was actually a game.

I agree with Gloria Estefan, the rhythm will eventually get you!

Could be there's a specific program he's required to use that's maybe too big for him to install on his computer, so he's running it from the disk. Or maybe he just doesn't want to waste HD space. Plenty of reasons. Quit calling fake for stupid reasons.

Sorry, just to clear things up: The program I use is "Logger Pro". I've been working on the lab for the past week and a half and finished everything but the graphs until now.

I would suggest torrenting it, if you can't get the program again from a friend. That said, I couldn't access tpb to see if anyone's seeding it, so you may be out of luck there.

Wow man, This is why I don't let people in my room, people shouldn't mess around with other peoples shit, parents or otherwise, it's just manners. Also, what sorta' person automatically assumed all CD's are games and just takes them away without even confronting the person. (And what sorta' parent doesn't let their kid play games, but DOES let them have the internet? That's just stupid odd. "Oh, video games are bad but **** is just fine.")

My father did that. I still don't know where disk 4 to one of my games went. He hid it and doesnt know where...Supposedly. His reason? None.
Watchmaker 2
Not to mention, assuming that there's enough HD space, that torrenting makes internet = CD-less games anyway.

Can a parent please tell me what the **** is up with their apparent fetish of hiding their kid's shit...and then forgetting where they put it. I swear this happens every other week with MY parents to. Is it to piss us off? What?
Zwink 0
dude i completely agree, my mom has done that so often
LilaBear 2
if it is someone else's program it would be illegal for him to install it on his computer so it makes sense that he'd run it off the disk.

Can you borrow a copy of the CD from someone? :/

This is why mom's shouldn't assume that it's something it's not, and be so nosy.

Cuz she thought he was playing games and not working. Keep up.

Who would think to make a CD backup? CDs are already the backup, and why would he back that up? Who thinks after buying a program on a CD, "Oh, I should so totally make an .iso of this and burn a backup." Really now, think.

Somebody keeps altering my nipplenuts! What the hell?!!
null_fml 11
LMAO! YDI if you posted "FIRST" or something equally annoying. Otherwise, FYL.

Has this become an FML? I hope not. Nipplenuts? I'm in love with this new word. Thank you, sugarnipples, wherever you lurk.
null_fml 11
I don't know exactly what nipplenuts are but they sound either hilarious or delicious. But not as delicious as sugarnipples, I'm sure.

These are sugarnipples: http://www.judyfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/gum-drops2.jpg

Is it wrong I want to put these in my mouth? Sugarnipples is obviously my favorite word, isn't it Toxi?
Intoxicunt 6
Hehe, it is. And no, sugarnipples are tasty. Come by my house and I'll give you some. ;D
null_fml 11
Okay, I just went for a Google, and apparently these are nipplenuts: http://www.sanliv.com/faucets/200711289355966855.jpg I take back what I said about them being delicious. And I'm really glad my school doesn't have keyloggers or network data logging on these systems. I hope...

Obviously, you looked up the wrong kind, sweetness. Girls aren't cyborgs. Well, most of them.

Hey now - I don't go around destroying hope in YOUR fetishes, do I? :(

... I'll buy you a fully equipped robot girl for Christmas?

Awww, I knew you were my favourite for a reason. :D

I'm a cyborg. Give me my nipples back!

Oh, I see what's going on here. I don't know if my heart can take this much of a break. I think I need to watch Nightmare Before Christmas, blare Fall Out Boy and eat double chocolate fudge ice cream. Oh wait, I'm the favorite? Score! Get off your metal butt Toxi. I've got plans for you.

I don't have them! I swear! They're-- hey, where did #29 go? #30 looks reeeeeally out of place without it...

Basically this. None of this would have happened if you just started the project at a reasonable time
