Today, my maths teacher was giving my whole class a lecture on 'if you don't pay attention at school, you will fail.' She then pointed out out a man working on the roof and said: 'if you don't listen, you will end up like that guy.' That was my dad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was lecturing my high school students on the importance of a good education. I pointed out the janitor in the hall and told them if they didn't stay in school, they'd end up like him. Then one of my students raised her hand and reminded me that the janitor I pointed to was her dad. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been seeing my maths teacher. I'm still failing his class. FML
Today, I overheard my dad telling his work buddy that he's disappointed in his kid. I assumed he meant my brother, for flunking out of school. He meant me, for quitting sports to focus on my studies. FML
Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. FML
Today, my maths teacher, who hates me ever since I pointed out a mistake he made a few months ago, rang my dad and blatantly lied to him about me swearing at him in class. It was a complete load of bollocks, but my dad believed him and took away my PlayStation until after Christmas. FML
Today, my teacher walked into class and said, "Look to your left and right, one of those persons you just looked at will fail the upcoming exam." When asked why, she said too many people passed last year's exam. She was dead serious. FML
Today, I overheard my best friend's wife telling their kids to pay attention in school and stay focused on their goals so they don't end up a failure in life like their father's friend, Matt. Hi, my name is Matt and I'm the friend. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. FML
Today, my dad gave me a twenty minute lecture about responsibility and how lazy he considers me to be. He then yelled at me for not making his bed and getting his clothes off the floor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

i think it would be better to pay attention, or else you might end up as... her!

Your Dad probably earns more than that hack.

kind of late, but i would've snapped at the teacher. i have people close to me that do jobs similar to that, and if someone said that doing a job like that is meaningless they'd receive hell from me. All jobs are worth something, that teacher needs to stfu.

"If you don't pay attention in school,you might just get a career that is vital to our society." It's so dumb how people "rate" jobs. If there were no carpenters,no trash men,no manual laborers,our society would fall apart. And society treats them horribly.

It's kind of funny because roofing involves a lot of math. I.E finding the area of the roof to get the right number of shingles etc.

My father had the same job. There's nothing wrong with a man who works his ass off to support his family. Btw my dad is a college graduate.

should have made her feel bad by telling her it was your dad and saying he had a degree but couldn't get employment even though he was top of his class
