Today, my college professor/employer failed to send in a letter I had been counting on for a scholarship application. He has also decided not to pay me for the last two months. I'm not going to make rent. Apparently this is the punishment you get for politely declining a date with a married man. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML
Today, I got a letter saying I was no longer a student at my college and my current work is void since I had ignored and refused to pay my tuition bill. Over the past month I've been deleting these pesky emails saying 'FINAL WARNING regarding payment' thinking it was more spam. They weren't. FML
Today, I got an email stating that my scholarship request was denied, 51 days after applying with no response. I'm now forced to drop-out from my college degree because I ran out of money, and I've been unsuccessful at finding a job for two years either, thanks to Covid. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Today, my boss fired me after chewing me out for the horrible date he had with my mother. FML
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML
Today, I texted my flatmate to ask him when he would be paying his portion of the rent, since he has told me he would be late this month. He wrote back to inform me that he had moved out last night while I was away, and that he won't be paying me anything. FML
Today, I found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sue him for the two months of not being paid, and then sexual harassment over the asking you on a date, and.. whatever law that applies for the scholarship

Find out how to contact his wife and tell her that her husband is a cheating asshole. Then sue his ass.

42 comments before somebody questioned the part about working two months and not getting a regular paycheck? why are people so eager to believe obvious bullshit like this and side with OP? I'm thinking there never was a proposition from the professor. There was a lazy chick who thought she had a job for two months, but nobody ever saw her work. She has no money now to pay rent or next year's tuition. She dreamed up this story to solve her problems.

Think about this just a little bit -- chances are, the pay wasn't the primary motivation for the OP to keep the job. It was the resume building experience he/she direly needs to round out his/her skill set. Many students take on unpaid internships for the exact same reason. It's completely believable that this student would continue on in this job, unpaid, in order to be able to say he/she completed the experience.

The explanation is that she was probably mislead about the pay. When I worked as an intern when I was in my early 20s I wasn't paid until after the internship was complete - about 3 months. Sorry, but your reply suggests that you're sexist and/or perhaps even insist that a lot of women who get raped asked for it. Think about what I've said before / if you respond

Just in case you didn't READ my post.... The explanation is that she was probably mislead about the pay. When I worked as an intern when I was in my early 20s I wasn't paid until after the internship was complete - about 3 months. Sorry, but your reply suggests that you're sexist and/or perhaps even insist that a lot of women who get raped asked for it. (For example, your rationale that her "story" solves her problems is absurd. Her posting of her problem does NOT solve her problem - just allowed her an opportunity to vent about a egocentric male pig. Think about what I've said before / if you respond

Well, that definitely qualifies as sexual harassment. Since withholding pay and sabotaging your future is seriously not okay, it might be worth bringing it up with whatever office at your school deals with sexual harassment issues.

Probably because its a work study job. He has to sign off on her time card and submit it to the people in charge of the college. If he didn't do that, she wouldn't get her money. This was in reply to #76

OK, now that I could understand. I was about to ask why the hell the teacher would be paying her. I would have assumed the University would do the paying. How often are these teachers supposed to "sign off" on the time cards, though? It would seem weird to me that she would be 2 months behind on time sheets...

Also, departments or even a professor's individual lab sometimes pay RA's through grant money, rather than the university. It could have taken the OP a while to figure it out if the professor kept saying, "Oh, the grant hasn't come in yet," to cover up the fact that he just wasn't paying her.
