Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
WellThere'sThat
Today, I got a big math test back. Good news: I can connect abstract ideas beyond what was taught. Bad news: I can’t do simple math, such as 30/-5. I failed. FML

Teacher bust out the sad smiley face
Today, I got my multivariable calc final back, only to realize that the ten points I got off was for putting 10 + 15 = 35 on a problem. My teacher wrote ten question marks and “No???? 25???? :(“ next to it. 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 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

Maths is hard
Today, disappointed with my results on a mathematics test, I went over it and realized my teacher had added up the marks incorrectly, leaving me with 17% less than I earned. The person who's supposed to be teaching me math can't even perform basic arithmetic. FML

Better than a chemistry major making a stupid mistake. My roommate in college sorted a series of chemicals alphabetically in a lab, and sulphuric acid and starch (or something like that, I don't even remember anymore) got knocked over and reacted violently. He still asserts that the alphabet Is a dangerous thing.

LOL, been there done that, and its typically worse then just messing up on a math quiz. Luckily for me, my math professor believes that arithmatic is stupid, as long as we have the concept and equations write, he doesnt really care if something isnt multiplyed right. YAY for me.
