Today, in history class I was called "ignorant" and "inconsiderate" because I referred to Stalin as a "he". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, I tried to explain to my history teacher why Woodrow Wilson would not have called the Great War "World War 1" as she constantly claims. I was sent to the office for my insubordination. FML
Today, I was once again berated by an idiotic parent. I’ve been called a filthy liberal, a groomer, and had my job threatened several times. All of this because I was teaching second graders about pronouns. You know, the part of English grammar that replaces a noun. Nothing political at all. FML
Today, my teacher called me "stupid and ignorant" for referring to myself as Asian. I'm from Pakistan. Pakistan is in Asia. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML
Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He was a ruthless dictator that killed about 70 million of his own people and took over many Eastern European countries. You should have referred to him as "it".

Hey, even if he was a monster, he still deserves to be remembered as a man.

Bruh for one he killed 18 million still a lot not 70 million. Learn facts before you rant

I'm pretty sure that proper English is still expected of all students, so whomever it was that called OP those names is just retarded.

Whomever. Objective.

Whoever because it's acting as the subject of that clause (whoever is modify "it"). Whoever is doing the action (calling), not receiving it (that would be OP). "Was" is a linking verb and always takes the subjective—that's why it should be "it was *I*", not "it was *me*". But it's really not a big deal. I just thought it was funny that the original commenter called for proper grammar, yet used "whomever" incorrectly.

Josef/Joseph Stalin was a beast of a MAN, that liked to jam a fat finger into one eye and pop the other out, blinding his foes. Why is "he" the wrong pronoun?

Did you use it in a sentence like "He was a great man?"
