Today, my research partner emails me 2 hours before our deadline saying that she can't complete her half of our 20 page report because when she woke up this morning she couldn't see. How did she write the email? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss dropped a highly important and dense report on my desk that had to be finished by the end of the day. After the initial panic attack and hours of scrupulous work, I finished. She then asked me to pick up the revised copy, where my name was replaced with hers. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish an essay. I submitted it one minute before the deadline. Later, I opened the file to double-check and realized I'd uploaded my rough draft, containing notes like “THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, FIX LATER.” The professor then replied, “I agree with your assessments.” FML
Today, my mom wrote me an email, asking how I was doing after an accident yesterday. I wrote back at length, telling her everything in detail. Two hours later, she calls me on the phone, asking how I am. She was simply too lazy to check her mail and expected me to tell her everything a second time. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, after retyping a 22-page report for work because the orginal had gone missing, i realized I had used a different laptop the first time. I now have 2 copies of the same report, both of which are late. FML
Today, the woman I have been seeing said she couldn't see a future with me. This was all because I didn't text her back when I fell asleep after working a double night/morning shift. FML
Today, my boss asked me to send an email on his behalf with an important report attached. I've already received 3 responses from directors commenting on poor spelling and factual errors. I get paid 1/4 the salary of my boss and he can't even write properly. FML
Today, one of my colleagues was asked to rewrite an entire project, which I wrote last week. I'd spent more than 4 days writing it. FML
Today, my mom woke me up in the middle of the night to make me help my brother write an essay. I read what he wrote so far, gave him my suggestions, and went back to bed. She woke me up 30 mins later because he just sat and stared at his paper instead of fixing anything. Somehow that's my fault. FML
Today, I got a text just before class that my partner didn't finish their half of our 30 page research paper because: "That class is stupid." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why should he have to babysit her? She's old enough to do it herself without someone having to check up on her.

I agree with the other poster, fwd it to your professor. I laughed, though. She obviously can't think enough to help with the report... since, you know, she's blind and writing an email.

Ok, I can totally relate to you because I'm in college... it sucks, and I'm sorry you were the only one doing the work... However, on something as major as a 20 page report, there should have been at least SOME kind of project management put into this... did you not make a schedule? For future projects, try to have a couple milestones set, and to have the entire thing finished by a date 1 week before the actual due date... that way, "emergencies" like this don't come up. Forward it to your professor, but it still doesn't make up for the lack of group effort.

I've been stuff with crappy partners before and my teacher was not understanding... (on a side note this was years ago and he is now suspended) My partner was supposed to come up with a couple pages of research and the structure that the project was to be put on. It was crappily made and the reseacher did not pertain to our subject. I stayed up so late doing the whole thing by myself and I told my teacher this because she did NOT deserve the grade I got. He did nothing. Gave us both the same grade. F you, Mr. Wilson, they should have fired you.

some people with MS (google multiple sclerosis) have on-and-off blindness. They get friends to help them or they use voice recognition software. Don't be so quick to judge.

to everyone who thinks OP deserves it. 1. it is not OP's job to be checking up on the partner. 2. what causes you to randomly not see? 3. if she manages to find her way to a computer she still had to open up the email and click compose. 4. if someone else wrote it don't you think they would say "hi, this is ______ and ______ can't see for some random ass reason." OP I'm sorry and just get your side of the credit.

I completely agree with you on all points. Moreso, if it were someone else, couldn't they just use their own e-mail and state the same thing on behalf of them? The OP is in now way to blame for this. If you are in college, you were obviously responsible enough in high school to do your homework and get accepted into a university.
