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.

Take it off her desk and turn it in again the next day.

I see a lot of people saying "it's your fault for not typing your essay on a computer", so I'd like to point out that OP is French (or simply studying in France), and in France most teacher have you hand write the essay unless specified otherwise. Ideally you should still have a copy, but it's not like (s)he could have expected his/her teacher to be such a ****.

Type it next time :) whether she likes it or not. This way you'll have a spare ;) in case he decided to spill coffee on it again!

That was pretty stupid to hand write it.

As I said previously, we can assume that OP is studying in France, where you have to hand write essays unless told otherwise.

Grab it as proof. Take her to the principal and ask in front of him/her why you have to redo it. When the teacher bitches. Pull it out as proof. Hopefully it will be enough proof to fight it. Unless your principal is a dick.

I hope you took it off her desk. You need to turn her in to the principal and school board.

I hope you did something about that, because that pure and simple is not right. And you should NEVER handwrite and essay!! Or if you do, have some drafts spare at the least

Yes, because people have always had computers and printers. ALWAYS! Tbh it's only become common practice in the last 10-15years and you can still get coffee all over a printed one. I thought common sense would dictate you would make a copy though, virtual or handwritten.

When the teacher wants something handwritten then you have to do it? It does not hurt your human rights or something if you handwrite something once in a while. And even if she has a draft or the whole thing on computer she still has to write it down again which takes time.

I'm so happy we're supposed to turn everything in electronical. And even if we weren't, there's no way my teachers would do that, they're actually decent and admit their own mistakes :/ Ugh, so much responsibility comes with being a teacher, live up to it. Fyl, OP :(
