Today, in the middle of my online midterm, my computer decided to update and closed out of the test. It can't be retaken. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I turned in my final worth 20% of the grade. Today was also the day my internet decided to die. FML
Today, I was busy writing my English final paper and all of a sudden my computer just chose to freeze. I thought Microsoft Word would save it, but alas, 4 pages down the dumpster. Plus my earphones stopped working and I can't afford to buy a new pair. FML
Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted, Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML
Today, my entire junior class took the ACT. On the last test, a classmate's phone went off, automatically invalidating the whole test. We all have to retake it. FML
Today, I took a online midterm for a 400 level class I need to graduate this winter. I didn't realize that Proctorio links your computer to your phone, so when I opened my phone and googled the exact question, it gave me a notification on my screen which Proctorio screen recorded. FML
Today I woke up feeling good and ready for my online business class final, only to find that it had somehow been submitted and graded with a zero. FML
Today, my computer crashed and lost all of its data while I was making a back up. FML
Today, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. FML
Today, I accidentally left my textbook at home. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but today was my class final. Since it was an open-book final, I'd decided not to study for it. I'm pretty sure I failed. FML
Today, I was taking a final test online that would account for 65% of my final grade, for which I'd worked extremely hard. I had one submission for the test, and my roommate thought it would be funny to click the "Submit All" Button while I was getting a glass of water. I got a 13%. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Doesn't it usually warn you before it does?

At least with my computer and those goddamn microsoft updates, if you "postpone" about three times (it changes), it apparently gets fed up with waiting and chooses to restart and update itself, regardless of what you are doing. Luckily I've never had anything this terrible happen... my instances were usually after finally finishing a ridiculously difficult part of a videogame, and happening before I could save. Or, as has happened once and made me want to throw my computer, it shut down AS IT WAS SAVING. Corrupted savefile. One hundred + hours of gameplay in skyrim... gone. Bye-bye, level 67 vampire lord/thieve's guild leader/dark brotherhood leader/archmage of winterhold/ hero of solstheim/ alduin slayer/weilder of every daedric artifact. You will be missed...

Same here! It's my greatest fear that during a test or a lecture, that my computer will restart out of nowhere because I kept on postponing the updates...

Has anyone thought that OP might be taking said test in a school? I've had online tests in school before, therefore he might not have access to the auto-restart options.
