Today, I failed my trigonometry exam because my scientific calculator was on the wrong setting. FML

Shows my age. When I was in school, we learned how to do it all by hand, then check our results with a calculator. In some classes or tests, calculators weren't even allowed. Calculators are there to make our tasks simpler, not to replace the basic knowledge required. Learn your subjects instead of the short cuts. Oh, and my sophomore year I didn't have a calculator at all for the first two semesters. I still finished faster, and more accurately, than my classmates. Once I got one for Christmas, my test times increased and my scores dropped. After two weeks I quit using it. So yeah, I'm in the YDI camp. Kudos to the responders with the great puns.

That happens to me almost every day. Taking Calculus and Physics means I'm switching constantly. I usually figure it out when I get sin X = 0.5743673. How does a person not notice something's wrong when they get a ridiculously small number for an angle?

I don't think that's the only reason you failed...
