Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the first day of school, I threw up on my teacher in the middle of class. FML
Today, I was teaching when I saw a student leave her chair and brazenly head for the door. I clapped her on the shoulder and said, "Going somewhere, miss?" She vomited all over my pants. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the year. The first thing the teacher said was, "I hate this f*cking school." FML
Today, during one of my first days as a teacher, a student stole my phone. FML
Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML
Today, I was sitting in class when I overheard a group talking about how much they don't like me. When they saw me there, they burst out laughing. FML
Today, I was tutoring. When my kids were finally working on their own, I stood in my classroom’s doorway to talk to my boss sitting outside about upcoming work. Suddenly, one of my students sitting directly behind me let out the loudest fart ever. I think my boss heard and thought it was me. FML
Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. FML
Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML

No need to worry, just make sure the next day you show you are in control so the students don't take you as a light weight.

Do you share a room or something? How does a teacher confuse someone else's class for her own?

Gonna have to get over it and move on, as a teacher if someone disrupting your classroom causes you to lose confidence and students laughing at you upsets you...it's gonna be a long career.

Put a sign on the door; do not open the door if ur a teacher! Put a picture of her under the text, make a red circle around it, and a line diagonal over it... If someone asks blame ur students:) but no names:)

Don't worry OP. When I was in 7th grade we had a new teacher who just became a full time teacher instead of a substitute and my particular class made her cry numerous times. We were all 11/12 years old. Kids are truly evil when they know the teacher can be pushed around. That's why my class didn't act up as badly with the other more experienced teachers. You'll be fine :) don't let the whole situation get to you.

I'd definitely speak with someone higher up & find out if the other teacher is just being an ass or if they have a mental condition such as Alzheimer's...if the first, I'd ask that they be spoken with & told to stop, if the second...well, maybe they need to give that person a TA to follow them around "reminding" them where they ACTUALLY need to be

You should have told her to shut up and let you teach. Sorry for what she's done though.

This is why most teachers put a name sign on their door. Was the first thing my wife did for her class this week. Try that out.
