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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

What a rude bitch... Roofing is a noble profession and it requires a lot of skills math being one of them.. You should have called her an arrogant pos and left...

Yeah let's see, pennsylvania last I checked teachers average start was about 45k PennDOT workers start at about 67k... Yeah listen to the self righteous snot who stands in front of your class drones on and on about stuff you may not even use.. My wife's mother got perfect grades in high school and now works 2 part time jobs just to make it so "paying attention in school" isn't a free pass to success..

To compliment my last post, my wife's dad, on the other hand, struggled through school and dropped out in ninth grade. He now makes 6 figures in contracting.

Actually, we mostly say "mathématiques" (or maths) in French, though "mathématique" is correct. :) Taking a shit in a drawer, now that's sick. Op, your teacher shouldn't have said that, but don't be ashamed of your dad because of someone who can't have a validate point without being disrespectful

I agree with #83 your teacher probably wouldn't be saying that if there was no roof above their head!!

I would jumped at the chance to put that teacher in that bad of a spot in front of an entire calssroom bbecause WHEN someone says something about it to the wrong person and your school's administration hears about it, SHE GONE.

However in English maths is correct and math is incorrect, no matter on circumstance.

That's ridiculous. I used to teach and am back in school for a further degree in education, and if I had said something like that, I would have been booted out the door by my boss. I don't know how it is in Australia, either, but here in the US, laborers usually earn more than most teachers, despite the fact that teachers usually have further degrees than they do. However, she is right on ONE point. You need to pay attention in school to get ANY job, even one as "just a roof repairman." Jobs look at your grades, even if you only went as far as a high school diploma. I wonder how she would feel if he DIDN'T repair the roof and her precious computer was rained on. Sheesh.
