Today, I had to hand write a 10 page essay for one of my classes. When I turned it in I got an automatic zero. It was written in blue. Not black. FML

Today, I went to check my grade, which was posted for an essay for my comp 1 class. I got a zero. I was devastated only to find out I never actually clicked the submit document button. My grade dropped 20 points. FML

Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML

Today, I broke my dominant hand. My teacher insists we hand-write our essays. I called and asked if it was okay for me to type up the essays. She said no. I have two essays due tomorrow, which count for half my grade. FML

Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML

Today, my teacher told me that she couldn't find my hand-written essay on the Renaissance, and that I have to re-do it all by tomorrow. I later saw my essay on her desk, covered in a massive coffee stain that made virtually everything unreadable. FML

Today, I asked my professor what happened to the assignment I gave him several weeks ago. Turns out he lost it, and graded me zero as a result. Now if I want a mark, he says I'll have to hand-write it all over again, but that I "probably shouldn't bother," because it was "a bit shit, really." FML

Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML

Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML

Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. FML

YDI. I'm sure it said you have to do it in black pen somewhere considering almost every major assignment I've ever done, heard of, or seen has had to be in black pen if hand written. It's pretty common knowledge I'd venture to say. Sorry you wasted your time. Maybe next time you'll read over the assignment instructions.

When I was in school, blue and black ink were pretty much interchangeable for major handwritten assignments, tests, etc. The school you went to most likely just sucked and was not current with what is considered acceptable in the "real world"

pray tell how this is racist? I'm so sick of people crying racist when something doesn't go their way! a gas station is closed? racist! cops pull you over for speeding? racist! tv stops working? racist! out of something at a store? racist! call Jessie Jackson! good god people, it's not racist if something normal happens. get over it or get a pocket sized ACLU and Jessie Jackson.
