Today, I was working my job as a waitress near my college. I handed a customer her check, and she noticed that I had added her bill wrong. I apologized, and she pointed to my "student" labeled nametag, asking what I was studying. I said English. I'm a math major. FML

LOL I'm great at calc but not at math in my head. It could happen to anyone :)

Woah, Dont freak huh? And because of your mistake you decided to give a negative stereotype to English majors? Not cool, not cool at all. Might be time to re evaluate majors

That's not what OP did AT ALL. Please calm down.

My Mum got an E on her maths O level (now GCSE) I got a B, she can do mental arithmatic and I still have to count on my fingers to add, take away and times. People are just good at different areas of a subject.

Most of us math majors can't do arithmetic :)

eh, stuff like that happens all the time. notice it a lot in higher-level math classes. They can do calculus just fine, but when there's a basic algebra step in the problem, it takes a ten minute discussion.

**** you. At least we don't have to lie about our shortcomings. And we get laid. ~English Major

Ugh.... Get over it. I'm certain OP had no intention of painting a negative image of English majors, but you're making it worse by freaking out and blaming OP.

No ones perfect and you shouldn't lie.

#15. If you're going to call someone a dumbass, at least use the English language correctly. You're a dumbass.*

haha...really funny story. but seriously calm down kids...probably just said english because it's one of the furthest subjects from math...like saying sociology. but seriously the majority of english majors aren't great at math...and the majority of math/science majors aren't great at english, therefore pretty accurate stereotype. And i honestly don’t know why people automatically assume people are “freaking out” when they post a FML...probably just thought it was a funny story, which it is...haha
