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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

I would have taken the essay from her desk and report her with evidence, I would first confront the teacher about it though. FYL

If you say something to her, then good for you. If you're not going to confront her about it, then you deserve it.

Ugh sloppy rude unorganized teachers! Hate em!

I hate teachers like this. I've had less than a day to redo an entire essay because the teacher lost it, only to hand it in and have the teacher laugh because they found it and didn't bring it up.

Grab the paper and bring it to the principle. There is no reason you should have to completely redue it because SHE made the mistake to ruin it. FYL

Your teacher sucks and I hope you pointed out the essay on his/her desk. If you do something stupid then lie about it without even trying to hide the evidence, you deserve to be called out for it.

Wow. Well at least since you hand wrote it you should remember bits and pieces and the general idea of what you wrote.

Tip: If you type it on a computer you can just reprint it. Prevents a lot of headaches later

I agree it's not your fault, but if you'd saved your work, like you always should, it wouldn't be that bad...

I always type handwritten papers just in case
