Miscellaneous: Today, I finished up my physics project. I had to make some thing...

Today, I finished up my physics project. I had to make some thing out of toothpicks and glue that will keep an egg from breaking when dropped 20 feet. It took me 10 hours to make it, but only took my dad 10 seconds to step on it and break it. It's due tomorrow. FML

Today, after working like a caffeine-fuelled thunderstorm for 9 hours straight on an art project, my 2 friends informed me that it was due next week. I slept for 10 hours, and then went to my class without my project, thinking I lucked out in the long run. Clearly not, as it was due today. FML

Today, I tried to make a rocket, using Diet Coke and Mentos. It worked pretty well, as both the kitchen window and my chipped tooth can testify. FML

Today, I was taking my architecture project to school. I'd spent days preparing my little model house. I stepped outside with it in my hand, and right at that moment a gust of wind ripped it away. It's currently lying in my neighbour's garden, smashed to pieces. FML

The Blob

Today, I cracked an egg which turned out to have an extremely thin shell, so at first contact with the bowl, it came apart in my hand and the contents glooped right through my fingers, all the way down the kitchen cabinet, into a half-open drawer, as well as onto the floor and underneath the cabinet.

Today, I was cleaning out the garage and found one of my old science fair projects. It was disqualified for outside help and cheating. I didn't do either. FML

Today, I saw a person in my class completing a project that was due two periods later and that they had just started in the bathroom. They got a better grade than me. FML

Working too hard!

Today, after spending 6 hours straight working on a project at school, I decided to call it a night. The instant I set foot out of the lab, the building started screaming. The maintenance guy had set the alarm without telling me. The police had to let me out. FML

Today, I proudly put on display the custom clock I'd spent 3 months building from scratch. It struck the hour and promptly fell off the wall, breaking my wife’s antique vase that she'd inherited from her great nana. FML

Today, I bought a pack of toothpicks. There were 500 of them. When I got home I accidentally dropped the pack. After twenty long minutes of picking them up, I dropped them again. FML

Today, my sculpture, which is very important for my art grade, fell from my desk and broke to pieces. My art teacher suggested I soak the parts in water to make it easier to stick them back together. They dissolved. FML

FAIL people. Re-read the FML. It's for physics, and must be made of toothpicks and glue. Toothpicks and glue. Have that key fact down? Good.

dude I did this in 4th grade, from even higher up. how the **** did it take you 10 hours!?! It took me like 5 minutes. I Ijust made a box out of Styrofoam with a space in the middle, and my friend just used a plastic bag full of packing peanuts seems pretty ******* simple to me, what were you trying to do?

why doesnt anybody understand it has to be made using ONLY and ONLY toothpicks and glue, it is so clearly implied that a retard who cant type would understand it, but clearly your more retarded than that, FYL for being retarded. And if your working on a project you would want to lie down if its gonna take that long, so i guess the OP is a normal person and not some geek or loser like most of you people who cant read are.

Just don't volunteer to go first! When everyone has to present a project the teacher usually can't get to everyone in one class period.

There's usually a size, weight, and material limit on these projects.... But TEN HOURS!? Seriously? 20 minutes would be excessive.

id say its 100% your fault #45 because any normal person would work on the floor and after working for that long take a drink or go to the bathroom while leaving it where they worked, FYL for being a creeper.

Ummm, he stepped on it for 10 seconds? That's a really long time for stepping on something.

You deserve it for leaving something that important on the floor, and not just on the floor, but in a spot where other people are going to be walking.
