Today, I returned to my teaching job at a local community college after surfing for the weekend. I'd got sunburned, one student immediately noticed and said to me, "Morning, Mr. Pinky!" Now they all do it. My students are assholes. I hate teaching. FML

They probably mess with you because you can't take a joke. I personally love to mess with people who can't take a joke, and I'm sure others do as well

then don't teach as a career. they seem to be messing around all in good fun. you need a sense of humor to be a professor

Yes, fail your entire class because they are playfully ribbing you, instead of just growing some thick skin and showing resilience. Seems legit.

That would just give them even more time to make fun of him.

You could be called much worse. Lobster, shrimpy, sour patch kid, girl who stuffed her face in a Doritos bag. Mr. Pinky is a walk in the park.

#26 someone who doesn't know how to use grammar correctly isn't gonna read or understand your essay

Yea, relax haha. You could've just corrected and given the person a short answer on what there and their are used for

who gives any care to grammar its the god damn internet we r not taking a test to get into college or any thing smart we sitting online bitching my life sucks get off your ass and change your situation then thanks

Exactly , obviously you people have way to much time on your hands . Just cause i'm blonde , doesn't mean i'm dumb but thanks for the correction , auto correct will be happy :P

Ah yes, the blonde card. The whimsical cousin of the race card and the gender card. Or it could be that people are picking on you because your comments aren't exactly eloquent. Or maybe they're just assholes in general. Your pick.

Or because in one comment she not only made the Internet's most hated grammatical error, but she also used LOL, and stereotyped teenagers, all in one line. Quite the achievement.

And, since OP teaches at a community college, his students might not even all be teens. So there's also that.

If that makes you hate teaching, then you sir are weak.

Don't respond to it, by responding you are giving them a reaction which will make them continue calling you the name you hate so much. If you ignore it or pretend it's super cool they'll get bored...

If you hate being called "Mr. Pinky" then why do you continue by calling yourself that in this FML?

Because that's what everyone is calling him? Its like someone complaining about being called fat and their username being Fatty because that's what there were called and its relevant to the FML.

Go along with it and act like it doesn't bother you. Hopefully they'll stop thinking it's funny..

Fail all of them little dickheads! Haha

And give them another school year to make fun of him?
