Today, my teacher told me that she couldn't find my hand-written essay on the Renaissance, and that I have to re-do it all by tomorrow. I later saw my essay on her desk, covered in a massive coffee stain that made virtually everything unreadable. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out why my professor accused me of not handing in an important essay before the due date. Apparently she spilled coffee all over it and didn't dare to tell me. FML
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML
Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I broke my dominant hand. My teacher insists we hand-write our essays. I called and asked if it was okay for me to type up the essays. She said no. I have two essays due tomorrow, which count for half my grade. 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, I asked my professor what happened to the assignment I gave him several weeks ago. Turns out he lost it, and graded me zero as a result. Now if I want a mark, he says I'll have to hand-write it all over again, but that I "probably shouldn't bother," because it was "a bit shit, really." FML
Today, I had to hand write a 10 page essay for one of my classes. When I turned it in I got an automatic zero. It was written in blue. Not black. FML
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Spill coffee on your grade sheet and demand she redo it all

The fact she's giving you one day to re-do an essay SHE lost is already showing how "great" of a teacher she is, which doesn't really make the next bit surprising. Had she actually lost the paper, she should at least give you more time to re-write it. FYL, OP.

Aaaaaaaand that's why nobody writes essays by hand anymore.

#34, except for everyone who hopes for an A* at GCSE English, which actually requires that one of your essays be handwritten. I'd imagine there's a similar thing going on for OP, which is why it was handwritten in the first place when OP clearly has access to a computer. OP, if I were you, I'd have taken a photograph of my ruined essay to take to the teacher's superior. At least that way, even though you'd still have to re-write it, the teacher might be properly chastised. Also, always do the first draft on a computer, so you can save it.

Oh lets not forget your English teacher. He/she did a horrible job at teaching you.

I think you need to go back to 9th grade English. Or even further back.

I once had a teacher like that. You always had to make a dated copy of your paper to prove you did it.

Strangely, I wouldn't put this above my own teacher. In the future, remember that Xerox is your friend: keep a scanned copy of your finished report on your computer.

Who makes their students hand write anything anymore?

Decent schools, not the brat-producing crap most people go to these days.

Why didn't you type it?

Because the teacher wanted it handwritten.

Where does it say that the essay had to be presented specifically in a hand written form?

Where it says the FML is from France.. We have to hand write everything here (at least in most schools) ;)
