Today, while teaching swimming to a bunch of five year-olds, one particularly bratty girl decided she didn't want to swim and led the entire class to strike, leaving the pool empty, and me without a job. Apparently I was teaching the next world tyrant to swim. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got chewed out by a parent for putting her kid underwater. I teach swim lessons. FML
Today, a kid I taught to swim became my new boss, at the pool that I have worked at for nine years. FML
Today, I was teaching swim lessons. I got felt up by a 6 year-old boy. Three times. FML
Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML
Today, while working as a lifeguard, a kid took a dump in the pool. When I told everyone to clear the pool so we could clean it, another kid promptly stared at me, stood at the shallow end right where I was standing, pulled down his trunks, and peed on my feet. FML
Today, I got a concussion while teaching a kid how to be a safe and cautious swimmer. FML
Today, at my job as a sailing instructor, I had to stop kids from getting their asses sucked by a pool filter. FML
Today, I was at the pool with two boys I babysit. The eldest wouldn't get out of the pool so I pretended to call his dad. He then ran out of the pool, pushed me down, grabbed my phone, chucked it into the pool and then ran back into the pool. FML
Today, my swimming coach made us swim fifty laps non-stop as punishment for his previous class being unable to swim a drill properly. They're 8-11 year olds who are still learning to swim. I feel like my arms and legs are filled with lead. FML
Today, while working my job as a swim instructor, my coworker sprayed me with the hose. I instinctively held up what I was holding to block the cold water. I was holding a 4 year-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hate rebellious kids. And where are they twenty years from now? Drowning because they walked out on you.

how do you not have a job.....can't figure that out. I'm hoping your still getting paid for the class/course sounds like your class was boring as hell

Since when do 5-year olds have a say in swimming lessons? Their parents pay, and if they don't want to learn to swim, it's their own fault.

You should've drowned that mini-bitch, and covered it up.

Why was I moderated for saying the OP should have better control of kids? Way to silence those you don't agree with...

You should've grabbed her by the back of her head, shoved her in the water, and force her to learn swimming the hard way.

kids can be hard to teach. you don't want to do anything that could get you in trouble (ex: bitch slap), but then you may end up as a pushover (they walk out on you).
