Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML
Today, I attempted to cheat on a test by writing some notes on my hand. During the test I had a question. I raised my hand. FML
Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML
Today, I went into my classroom to find a bag of shit on my desk with a note saying, "Thanks for failing me b*tch!" FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML
Today, I was passing notes in class with my crush. I started to pour my heart out and tell him about how I've liked him for years. I was caught by the teacher. He looked at it, laughed, and tore it up. He then looked at me and said, "I just saved you from years of embarrassment. You're welcome." FML
Today, I was separating my notes into two piles: one to save for exam studying and one to throw out. I finished separating, picked up the junk pile, and absentmindedly shredded it. Afterwards, I looked down to see the junk pile still completely intact. Goodbye, passing grades. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's messed up. He didn't even check to see what was written on your hand first? I write reminders in my hand all the time.

Yeah...you're totally an idiot for reminding yourself to pay rent. I mean come on dude...you have a final to take! Who cares if you have a place to live.... People...come on. It's not like he had: call girlfriend on his hand. This was something relatively important. The teacher is a complete artard for not checking the note and then flipping out. Besides, it was right on his hand....the teacher could have easily read it first before ripping it up....the teacher is actually pretty stupid because WHY would a student try to cheat by writing something on their hand IN PLAIN SIGHT! gosh...was it in your palm or what? The dude could have at least given you more credit for "cheating" more creatively.

Give me the link or FML number, please. I searched with several keywords like "ripped" and "test" and things like that, and didn't find a copy of it. It's ok to be a similar story, because sometimes certain things happen to a lot of people. But if it's obviously an outright ripoff, we'll delete it.

I believe this is the one: http://www.fmylife.com/miscellaneous/142104 Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML If that doesn't work (it's slow for me for some reason), then try http://www.fmylife.com/member/revezone. It's one of this character's favourites.

Ah ok. Yeah, they are similar, but different enough that we have no reason to think this one is a copy. Thanks, though. :)

Why do you need to write on your hand to remind yourself to pay rent? You should be able to remember when you should pay rent since you pay it the same time each month. Rent is typically due at the end of the month or the beginning of the month. Even if you felt you had to write it down, couldn't you have put it down on a piece of paper and put it in you pocket? As far as the FML is concerned, I have to call shenanigans. What kind of teacher goes around ripping up someone's test paper during a test? This is unprofessional behavior. I've never experienced this and it sounds too outrageous to be true.

Outrageous? Yeah right. Teachers rip up tests all the time. I've seen it happen in all of the schools I went to.

Doesn't mean it didn't happen. Teachers have done worse. One word from anyone and they would rip the paper up.

Well, I think it's ridiculous to say that people should have no trouble remembering to pay rent. People forget all the time. Plus, the student was probably busy with exams, which can cause you to forget things or just not have time for these. And personally, I have been in two classrooms where a teacher has ripped up a test, both thanks to suspected cheating. One student had formulas written all over their arm, and the other had their notebook hanging out of their backpack (these are both in high school, by the way).

Your teacher sounds like a total spaz. And I do believe you... some teachers are like that. They are so desperate to assert their authority that they do the most ridiculous things. At least you learned something valuable: leave notes for yourself in a conspicuous place other than your body parts. For example, to remind yourself to pay rent, you could have written that note... on a check. You could have written the name of the person on the "note" and the amount and even signed the "note". Then you could have left it in a conspicuous place... like your landlord's hand or the rental office.

YDI. Invest in some post-it notes.

Oh my God, I am so always worried about that happening... 58 if you're at the point where you're writing on your hand to remember stuff you'd no doubt lose the post-it anyway ;)
