Today, my professor let a guy into my philosophy class 30 minutes late because his excuse was, "Time is just an illusion." This is the same professor that kicked me out of the classroom for being 2 minutes late. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, one of my teachers yelled at me for being two minutes late to class. He was so concerned with my punishment that he didn't notice the four other people that walked in after me. FML
Today, I went to college, where I'm studying for my dream job. Despite getting up at 5am to catch the earliest bus into town, I arrived ten minutes late. My professor knows my circumstances, but is still threatening to kick me off the course if I don't "arrive on time like everyone else." FML
Today, I was written up and given a penalty for being 3 minutes late to class. By my instructor. Who was 17 minutes late. FML
Today, I purpose woke up early so that I could be prepared for a class taught by a professor who thinks I'm an idiot. This professor was the first to tell me that I'm 2 hours early and asked very slowly if I know how schedules worked. She seriously sounded concerned. FML
Today, I had to go meet my professor at 12. I wound up showing up almost an hour late. Why? Because she doesn't teach at the campus I registered at. I wound up having to visit TWO different campuses before I reached the right one. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Today, I drove 3 hours to get to a class, just to have the professor leave a note on the classroom door saying that she wasn't coming. FML
Today, I was in class. I am an older student going back for my PhD. I was kicked out of class for "sassing" my instructor for telling him he was wrong about what took place at an event I was actually present at. My instructor is a 22 year old TA. FML
Today, I tried to explain to my professor why I’d missed two classes. Even with a doctor’s note explaining my very serious health issues, she rolled her eyes and huffed, "Maybe if you’re ‘oh so sick,’ you should just drop out!” Gee, sorry for trying to improve my life through adversity. FML
Today, I decided to show up to my new class an hour early, to be able to choose my seat, and figure out how the computer lab works… only to find out that the lab was locked and I had to wait until the professor unlocked it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next time go to his house at 3 AM, say that "time is just an illusion" and stay for 2 minutes to make it up :)

Nice. I like the way you think.

Time is an illusion and money is just paper, paper is just trees and trees are just oxygen. People are stupid, so don't let a professor playing favorites affect you. Be first to every class and kickass

But money isn't paper
firefox9778 20
#14, it is and it isn't. Very large sums of money, such as $20 or $100, are made up out of paper, although dimes, pennies, ect. are made up of various minerals.

Why are you stupid??!?

#16: No. "Paper" money is made of cotton and linen. Coins are made from various metals.

Actually, 18, that depends on where you live. In Canada and Australia (and many others), for example, the "paper" money is actually made out of a plastic polymer. And, obviously, we don't actually call it paper money. Although we don't call it plastic money, either...

I hate it when professors are like that. You're paying money to be in that class, he shouldn't have kicked you out for being two minutes late. I'm sorry about that OP, sometimes professors aren't the nicest people in the world. Though there are really good ones out there, it sucks that you got the one that plays favorites.

Yeah that seems like a shitty discipline method. At my university, you could/would lose points from your grade for being late...but they always wanted you there to learn. Never once in 4 years did anyone get kicked out of class.

Being late is both disruptive and disrespectful to those who got themselves there on time and the professor. I totally agree with asking that person to leave until they figure out how to get where they need to be on time, like everyone else. The policy, however, should be enforced consistently.

Most classes aren't deep into anything two minutes after class starts.
NeatNit 33
too bad you can't prove it, with time being an illusion and all...
NakuEh 27
By that logic, what's the point in going to class?

I wonder what knowledge this professor would transfer to his students.
DerSuldam 25
Perhaps he would not have kicked you out if you used the same silly excuse as that guy.
Mrtigerblue 14
it isn't a silly response... time literally doesn't exist. the charted rate of decay does but not time time is a system to order life however it is just an idea and therefore does not exist if you believe it does exist then that is an illusion

Well, #50, we actually haven't got a clue about time. It might be an illusion. It might be a thing. It might be a dimension - or not. It might be possible to control our movement along the time axis, or we might be limited to traveling forward at a rate of 1 second per second. We just don't know.

He presented an argument in context of the course, you provided an excuse. That is a fine but defining line in philosophy
