Today, I ran into an old student of mine at the grocery store. She didn't recognize me at first so I introduced myself as her old teacher. She looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh my God... you're still alive?" FML

Today, I was at the store when I ran into an old friend from high school. He didn't recognize me at first, but when I told him who I was, he instantly shouted "Oh! Yeah! The fat chick from Mr. H's class!" FML

Today, one of my elderly swimming students ran into me at Walmart. Being a polite teenager, I said hi to him. He looked at me surprised and said, "Oh dear! I didn't recognize you with your clothes on!" I'll never forget the look on his wife's face. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend for whom I used to have feelings. I hadn't seen her in years, so I thought it would be funny if I went up to her and said, "Hey, you look familiar, do I know you?" She thought I had really forgotten her and burst into tears. FML

Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML

Today, I ran into an old friend, and she asked me how I was doing. I replied, "Still alive!" like I always do. I forgot both of her parents recently passed away. FML

Today, I was at my 10-year high school reunion. I saw the girl I used to have a BIG crush on, so I decided to go over and say hi. She screamed when she saw me. Then she started hitting me, looking panicked. I calmed her down and asked why she hit me. She says, "Everyone thought you were dead"' FML

Today, I ran into an old friend from college on the bus to work. Having not seen each other in over 10 years, we spent a good 15 minutes talking about our lives after college. At the end, he asked me what my name was. FML

Today, I went to my little cousin's school to pick her up and it happened to be my old elementary school. I saw my old teacher and went up to say hi, and after a few minutes she goes "Aren't you the girl who's dad always came in drunk on parent's day?" Nice to know that's how I'm remembered. FML

Awwh. That's not very nice to say out loud. I mean, she probably meant to just think it. how the **** do those people justify clicking YDI? "YDI cause you're still alive" or "YDI for buying things" ?! Some people are just assholes.

Obviously because people think that being totally cruel to others is funny, so they say its your fault for some ridiculous reason. Like 'YDI for breathing'

uhh, no. more like "ydi for approaching them in the first place." "ydi for not having enough sense to realize almost all students hate their teachers, and never want to see them again."

We have a teacher at our school who is 70 something years old. We never expected him to die though. We think he's fun to mess with cuz he has bad hearing.

This is not am fml. This is an old joke. I heard this story on a video once, told by a retired teacher. I had to watch it in class last semester. Lame!

I agree with #2. Mine are worse and still doesn't get publshed. and this is not an FML. She probably just heard of a name simulate to yours, that had died.

i wonder why...? could it be because it's published and not publshed? and similar, not simulate? and the correct form is don't. one doesn't, you used are, so you mean multiple. multiple don't.

Well, it's easy for a kid to think of their teachers as horrendously old, and forget they're relatively young (if that's the case). I'm in my early 40s and when I visit the hometown I sometimes see my first-grade teacher, looking only a bit older than when she taught me, and I always think, "She's still ALIVE????" Then I have to remember that she wasn't all that old when I was in her class....
