Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML

Classic rookie mistake

Today, I was taking a test and thought I was doing great until I realized I was writing all my answers on the question paper, not the answer sheet. By the time I noticed, there were only five minutes left. FML

Unfair failing

Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML

Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML

Today, I took an exam, for which I have been studying for weeks, I was confident at first, but then really struggled with it. I finished with about ten minutes to spare, turned to what I thought would be the end of my paper and found the first page of questions I was supposed to have answered. FML

Today, we had a surprise test at school. I was totally unprepared for any of it, so I BSd the whole thing and turned it in. A few minutes later, our teacher said we were allowed to use our notes to finish the test. FML

Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML

Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML

Today, I took my last final on a Scantron sheet with 200 multiple choice questions, with seconds to spare. When I finished the last question, I saw I had another bubble to fill in and I didn't know where I screwed up. FML

Sorry but isn't it common sense to look at the back of the paper?

I find it hard to believe that a test that short could be worth half your grade. Either way, if you're old enough to write an FML, you should have taken enough tests by now to know that you ALWAYS check the back.

Are you the person who posted this on reddit over a day ago? or one of the many people who made [fixed] versions, or one of the many who just saw it?

I'll bet you felt like a genius knocking out the test in about half the allotted time. But even with a perfect score on the part you did, the moron hammer hits you in the face with an F.

If this truly happens all the time, and you still haven't learned from it, then your a ******* asshat.

Dude, what grade are you in not to check the back? Like, second? Seriously, who doesn't check the back? Whenever I get a handout or test, I hear the whole class flip it over to see if there is a back.

Holy shit! As someone who writes shit so harsh it often gets buried, moderated or even quietly removed, I have to say you take the cake. Even if the OP worked his ass off and did perfect work the rest of the term, the best possible grade he could get would be a 75, usually a C. Even I have some pity on the stupid OP. Maybe you should, too.

Today, my girlfriend was on top in reverse cowgirl. After she orgasmed, all I heard was, "Oh fuck" and she clenched her butt to try stop, but it was too late, she shot diarrhoea up my stomach, chest and neck. The only reason I didn’t get any in my mouth was because it all got caught in my beard. FML

Today, my brother and sister-in-law come over ONLY to use up the resources at our house - like food, TV subscriptions, and other items. They claim to love my kids and come over for them.

Today, I went to break up with my psychotic bitch of a girlfriend after months of abuse. When she opened the door, her 5-year-old son ran up to me, smiling and calling me "DADDY!" for the first time. Now I don't have the heart to dump the psycho and devastate her son. FML

Today, I told my nephew to be careful when crossing the street in front of a bus because it might eat him. We then watched as a bus slowed down and stopped in front of a group of people. When the bus moved away, all the people were gone. My nephew is terrified, and won't stop crying. FML
