Today, the power went out at school. As a senior, I don't show up until third period. When I got there, I signed in as usual. The office secretary waited until I signed in to tell me that if I hadn't, I wouldn't have to attend classes that day. Now I have to sit in class doing nothing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the power went out at school. If it's out for more than twenty minutes, standard procedure is to let us go home. They came back on almost nineteen minutes later. FML
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, my parents got a call from my principal. I'd been lying that I couldn’t see the work I had to do in my online class, because I was behind and I needed to catch up. Tomorrow my parents are getting a call, telling them the dates I've been logged into the online learning. I haven’t logged in in weeks. FML
Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML
Today, I was doing homework when had to leave to help my family out with chores. I didn't mind it of course, but it turns out I could get signed out of the science homework site, and now have no way to sign back in. FML
Today, I tried to charge my phone at school by removing the socket for the fan. All the computers in the room turned off. I accidentally removed the power cables for the computers and got suspended. FML
Today, I thought it was yesterday, I went to school for nothing. FML
Today, the power at work was out. This would be fine, if they didn’t make me stay for another hour to wait for it to come back on in the Texas heat. FML
Today, the power went out at work. As everyone left the building to go home, the owner came in to inform me that, since the phones were on a battery back up, I would be staying to man them. The phones rang 2 times in the 4 hours I sat in the dark by myself. Both times were telemarketers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And that's when you cross out your name from the sign in sheet and go home.

You made my day.

Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. Look her in the eye while you do it too.

I've actually done that, I walked out holding the pen until the secretary piped up saying she wanted it back (after deliberately waiting until AFTER I signed my name) I just walked away and very obviously threw the pen on the roof of the building ! :)

#27, there's nothing cool about what you did. Just saying; prepare for a possible onslaught of down votes to bury your comment. -down votes myself-

I've always feared doing that.

I find that comment even funnier since autocorrect changed that to the Spanish equivalent of "mister".

Wow... Why didn't you just leave then?

Security guards don't take too kindly to that

Who has security guards at a public school?

My school had security guards
kimg0885 23
Lots of them. There is even security at my daughters elementary school.... You know just in case the kindergarten class riots over the sandbox.

They are old enough to sign themselves out at this point if they are signing themselves in and they are a senior. Here you only have to be 16.

Every public school in my state has security guards. The high schools have police officers who patrol during lunches and when people are coming/leaving.
ThongWarrior 17
Yea but I'm pretty sure op is not a kid, they could definitely sign themself out.

American schools cause you guys shoot them up so much thats what.

Canadian here and we have security guards in our schools as well to prevent kids from getting too rough with each other and to also prevent unwelcome people from walking in. Lock down prevention I suppose.

Here you have to have a guardian even if you're 18 :/

My high school had security guards, and then actual police officers worked in/around my school throughout the day too. My school was on a very active public bus line and we got a lot of weirdos.

My school was next to an open prison and all we had was a fence and gates that they locked during school hours. Lower school kids could only leave through reception at these times but sixth formers (16-18year olds) could leave when they wanted as we had fobs for the doors, so long as they signed in and out incase of Fire (or other evacuation emergency)

Are you sure you didnt suddenly feel sick, and have to go home after she said that?

I really hate it when people like that secretary do things like this to other people. The secretary may not have done anything wrong against the OP but it certainly wasn't good either. What is so wrong with making someone else happy? Are you that apathetic that you can't do something nice for someone else, even when you're not in a positive mood? >:(

Then just go back home anyway...how will she know that you left
eyebrowzzz 21
What a bitch. Should've said **** it and crossed off your name then walked out
ligerzero459 24
That's pretty messed up. I'd have just left. None of the teachers knew you'd signed in
