Today, I went to our school golf banquet, after being with the team and practicing every day for a few months with them. When it came time to get the certificates, all the names were called out. Except for mine. When I asked the coach where my certificate was, he said "Who are you?". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML
Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML
Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML
Today, my name was left off of the program at our band concert. I would have been fine with this if it wasn't the third time in a row that this has happened. Yes, I did show them each time. FML
Today, I walked at my graduation ceremony, proudly wearing my valedictorian cords. It turns out that, after some confusion on behalf of the student services office, I was neither valedictorian nor salutatorian (by 0.2 points). I'm dating the actual valedictorian. FML
Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML
Today, my entire gym class had to run the 1600 with our coach calling out finishing times. My finishing time was reported as "3 days short of a year." FML
Today, I was looking through my high school yearbook. I found a picture of myself and a couple of my friends at our senior prom. The caption gave the names of all my friends, their dates who didn't attend our school, and listed me only as "Guest." FML
Today, after being with the company for over 3 years, I realised nobody really knows my name. This was after my boss was walking around a new staff member and couldn't introduce me. Neither could my colleague, who's been sitting next to me for the last 6 months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Unless you were on the team, than that would be pretty harsh, considering your coach doesn't know you. As far as I know, seems like you just followed them. Doesn't make you 'earn' a certificate for going to practices for your own time.

Are you that kid who sits in the back of the class that everyone always forgets to pass a test to? You know, that kid who gets the "Have a great summer" message on the yearbook? And for the life of them, they can never remember your name? If so, I am sorry. *pat back* It will be okay buddy, it will be okay.

Dear you are like the kid who says, "I am best friends with the most popular girl in school" and follows her around, letting her call you the wrong name. Its pathetic. Do you have a similiar name to another player? I agree "with" sounds suspiciously like you asked to join the team and someone figured you were just practicing with them.

Way to make assumptions and insult the OP. O_o He never said he was a team stalker, his wording just made people imagine that and you throw insults right away...? For all we know, he could be as legitimate as any other team member, and simply not have made an impression. Don't assume and insult.

I doubt he means he was stalking them when he says "being with the team", guys. Seriously. Otherwise, it wouldn't really be an FML. Sounds more like he joined the team but totally didn't make an impression, to the point the coach didn't even remember him. :X

That sucks, but it's really up to you to make yourself stand out. Obviously the OP is not varsity or a really good golfer. I mean really, how many people are on this team that you were able to go unnoticed? I was on the golf team in HS and there were only about 15 of us.

That really sucks! I know how you feel. A kid i have 3 out of 5 classes with called me "That other person." I felt like punching him in the face

The coach probably cut you from the team, but neglected to tell you because you look like the kind of psycho who might commit the next Columbine. You're the golf version of the Will Ferrell/Cheri Oteri cheerleaders.

Did it ever occur to you that you didn't get a certificate because you were too new? They probably only give them to players who have been around long enough to go to a few competitions.
