Today, my Spanish teacher told me that the reason the girl I'm tutoring hasn't contacted me yet is because she emailed the teacher saying she didn't like my name, therefore she didn't want me to be her tutor. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the boy I tutor failed his math test. As a result, the family fired me. The boy failed because he forgot to write his name at the top. FML
Today, I asked my teacher if he could tutor me for my upcoming exam. He said he'd look into it and let me know later. I later got called to the principal's office because my teacher claimed I'd propositioned him for sex. FML
Today, I got an e-mail from my seminar tutor asking why I wasn't in class. I was sitting next to him. FML
Today, I found out why my biology class TA, who takes the class alongside the other students, was always so eager to collect my work. Turns out, she's been erasing my name on my papers and writing hers in all semester. My failing final grade has already been finalized. FML
Today, I was copying an assignment from my friend and was feeling confident that I was gonna pass. I later found out I copied his name too, so the teacher failed us both. He won't talk to me now. FML
Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML
Today, we had a substitute teacher. She was taking attendance and had trouble pronouncing my last name. When I corrected her, I heard her mutter under her breath about, “Goddamn Mexican immigrants…” I’m from Greek ancestry, born in the USA. FML
Today, I had a teaching job interview. After giving my demo lesson, I was told by the director that I had given it on the wrong topic. Turns out, I never got the e-mail with the instructions for the interview. Now I'm definitely not getting the job. FML
Today, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML
Today, my math teacher decided to give everyone in the class candy. He skipped me, and when another student pointed it out, his response was, "I don’t like her." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's absolutely ridiculous. How can she get out of tutoring just because of that? My tutor for maths was called Mrs Ramsbottom, couldn't tell the school I didn't like HER name!

Maybe you should be glad you don't have to tutor her.. I can't imagine the actual level of stupid there.

Change your name to #3P!cTuT0R453 I'm sure that would interest all these internet savvy young ins.

Maybe Heather means something terrible in Spanish?

#12 A quick trip to Google could have answered that question for you.

not to mention if the person needed tutoring in thay area they probably wouldnt know if it was
speckledots 29
There are a lot of meanings for Heather. it's a color, a flower, a medication. it comes no where near offensive.

I got that it was joke anyway.

Couldn't she just call you Ms. [insert last name here] Unless that's not her forte either
worldclassrager 41
I know but with a name dislike it seems like a working antidote

Well looks like that girl is places, not college, but places...

I would hope she is not a college....

Being a college isnt easy, so many people inside you...(shivers)

Maybe she's one of those idiots that thinks that because you don't have a Spanish sounding name, you're not qualifies to tutor her.
Mirorbo 27
And of course leave it to my tired self to typo and not notice until it's to late. *qualified
Mirorbo 27
******* hell! *too I quit!
