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?

I can relate to this. Last month, while taking my Chinese Final Exam on my school computer, the computer decided to get a virus and shut down. Never finished the test, and passed that class with a C, because the zero bumped my grade down.

Why didn't you decline the update??? You always receive a message that it will begin in - insert number - minutes. YDI Hope you flunk the. class LMFAO

Laughing and hoping for someone to flunk the class because of a simple mistake on OP's part is a sign of asshole syndrome. Get help, LMFAO.

How can people say YDI? That annoys me.

I agree, but here's how: The people saying YDI are PC technician elitists. They think that, just because it takes 2 seconds to change a setting to make sure your PC doesn't auto-update, that everyone automatically knows how to do it. Or they're just pathetic individuals and need to rip into others to feel good about themselves.

Strange that your computer didn't at least give you a few seconds warning. Whenever mine updates, I have at least ten seconds to postpone it.
