Today, I was writing my narrative essay for my English class. When I turned it in, I was really proud of what I thought I wrote. Evidently for some people listening to music while writing essays is a bad thing. My essay was filled with little bits of ZZ Top lyrics. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I lost a grade on an essay, because according to my teacher, I put much more detail into my analytical essay than I should have. FML
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Today, I poured my heart out into what had to be my greatest set of lyrics for my band ever, at the same time my teacher was explaining chemical changes to the class. At the end of the lecture he picked up my paper, and set it on fire to demonstrate a chemical change. FML
Today, my friend and I doodled on a sheet of paper trashing our English teacher. Later, I went to English class, and my teacher asked for us to take out a sheet of loose sheet of paper and write an essay. It wasn't until I had written on the whole front and flipped to the back that I realized I was using the doodle sheet. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I was listening to music with headphones in my usually quiet class. At one point I really got into the song so I just quietly sang along because why not. Turns out by the end of the song I was singing at full volume, almost yelling, and my friend stopped me to say that. The entire back row was laughing. FML
Today, my teacher gave me a 0% on my personal narrative in my writing class. His only comment on the whole paper was, "Too long, didn't read." FML
Today, I asked my classmate to look over my essay. His comments were longer than the essay itself. FML
Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't believe in souls... But somehow I believe you must have lost yours at some point in your life.

Sounds like the tossed salad I had last week.

And what type of dressing goes on that tossed salad? Something creamy I bet.

It was creamy, sticky, and kind of sexy.

Uh no. I want to take a wild stab and say ZZ Top is rap? I'd rather have rock and metal any day.

66 that comment was just so full of epic win. /sarcasm off. You must be the captain of the failboat if you think that ZZ Top is rap. You are either A, an e-douche who comments on things they know nothing about and who has never heard anything by ZZ, or B, someone who thinks nü-shit I'm sorry nu-rock is actually rock. Listen to some zz top, alice cooper, the doors, the who, van halen, queen, the eagles if you want really good classic rock. Shit today isn't even worthy enough to be in the same genre.

@69 I was going to come to cuddlekitty66 aid and suggest that she might be from another country and not necessarily familiar with ZZ Top. She did say that she was going to take a stab at it, clearly implying she was not familiar with ZZ Top. Alas, her profile indicates that she's from the US. Sorry cuddle, you have no excuse. Maybe because you're only 21?

How do you not know who ZZ Top is? even if you don't listen to good music ;) you should know remotely who that is, or at least that it's not RAP

104- I was referring to the fact that she said he listens to rock, and didn't know who ZZ was, leading me to the conclusion that when she says rock she means shit like Nickelback Three days grace, that sorta thing, and not Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones. When I said they (new shit and classic) don't belong in the same genre, I was referring to her saying rock when what she really means is new rock.

YDI for being subconsciously susceptible to rock and roll. Saying that I am sure it could have been worse, your essay could have been all about living on a yellow submarine.

Or living in the projects and slingin' rock.

Or worse, it could have been Maxwell's hammer. Then your professor would have thought you were some crazy serial killer.
