Today, I was lecturing my high school students on the importance of a good education. I pointed out the janitor in the hall and told them if they didn't stay in school, they'd end up like him. Then one of my students raised her hand and reminded me that the janitor I pointed to was her dad. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my maths teacher was giving my whole class a lecture on 'if you don't pay attention at school, you will fail.' She then pointed out out a man working on the roof and said: 'if you don't listen, you will end up like that guy.' That was my dad. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, the mother of one of my students bitched me out about her son's poor grades. He lazes around all day, paying no attention and being a constant nuisance. But, she says it's not his fault, and demands that I give him better grades so he won't get "self-esteem" issues. FML
Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML
Today, I was sent to an elementary school for safety day. One of the dads was asking about my job, when I told him about the long hours and high stress involved. He turned to his son and said, "Now see why you stay in school?" I'm a paramedic. With a bachelor's degree. FML
Today, I was doing my job and trying to teach a lazy bunch of 16-year-olds. A girl entered the room just 15 minutes before class ended, so I snapped, "Someone had better have died for you to be this late!" She immediately burst into tears. Turns out, someone had. FML
Today, I had to go to my 10 year-old son's school to talk about my job being a chef. As I was almost finished, I asked the kids "What would you like to do when you grow up?" Without hesitation one kid replied with a straight face, "Anything but being a douchebag like you." FML
Today, my philosophy teacher asked me about my parents. I replied that my mum was a cleaner and my dad was a bus driver. In an astonished voice, she said, "But, you're clever..." FML
Today, I was sternly told that if I didn't pass more students, I would be out of a job. I then went to my class to collect papers, and was stymied by how I could be giving passing grades to the 12 of 24 who didn't turn anything in. College students. FML
Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML

Ydi. A lot of people end up with jobs like that because they can't get anything better and at least they have a job.

Some people work in Janitorial jobs so that they can get a free education, or because they need to pay the bills. Don't be a snobby bitch.

No one feels sorry for you. People like you are gross, judging and turning your nose up at everyone.

What's wrong with being a janitor? At least he has a job and he's trying to support his family. Given he could be cracked out somewhere on the streets.

Well that was extremely rude. You don't know his situation so how dare you talk about him like that. At least he is able to provide for his family. He HAS a job! Is that not enough? Some fathers don't even have one. Some ppl don't need 6 figures to be happy.

Wow, that's messed up OP. at least they're trying. Maybe next time you shouldn't use fellow school employees as such rude examples. Additionally, what an awful example you are setting for your students, teaching them it's okay to judge others like that. Oh and one more thing... Idk about Tennessee, but where I come from, garbage Truck drivers make more money than school teachers. So who's to say you're better than that janitor?

You are exactly the kind of person who, upon losing your job, would bitch and whine about being unable to find work because you're too arrogant to take anything "beneath" your superior intellect. Who cares if he's not "successful"? He might be happier than you'll ever be.

Wow, what a prickish thing to say. At least the poor guy HAS a job, which, as I'm sure even you must realize, is a regular blessing nowadays!

Maybe you shouldn't be an assface. A job is a job. Maybe no one else would hire him so he had to resort to being a janitor.
