Love: Today, I uttered the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black"...

Today, I uttered the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" in class. Moments later, I'd been called a "racist twerp" and kicked out of class by the same English teacher who once tried to have another kid suspended for using the word "titillate", because apparently it's "pornographic". FML

Today, during a class, I noticed some racist statements and symbols on a table. While erasing them, I bent down to pick up my dropped pencil. I look back up to see a teacher, and got a suspension. FML

Get out

Today, my English teacher kicked me out of class for being "rude and disruptive." In actuality, I had called her out for having blatantly used Google Translate for several example sentences, all of which sounded as if a semi-literate foreigner had constructed them. FML

Today, I got sent to detention for saying, "That's what she said" after a girl in my class said, "Push a little harder" while dissecting a frog. FML

Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML

Today, I watched a movie my old teacher recommended me. She was one of my favourite teachers. I saw the title, opened it, and found out that the premise is racist towards my ethnic group. She marked me harshly. FML

Teenage riot

By Anonymous - 05/04/2024 02:00 - United States

Today, I finally had it with the redneck bully who's been tormenting me. He was repeatedly poking and pinching me and laughing out loud during class, so I slung him to the ground, pinning him. I got suspended. They only called his parents, who never do anything; my "caring" parents are looking into teen boot camp. FML

Today, I was in class. I am an older student going back for my PhD. I was kicked out of class for "sassing" my instructor for telling him he was wrong about what took place at an event I was actually present at. My instructor is a 22 year old TA. FML

Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML

Today, I got called into the principal's office of my son's school. Why? He'd called his teacher a "fudge packer". No more weekends with his uncle. FML

Today, I got kicked out of English class shortly after our teacher told us we have to write an essay on how the storyline of Harry Potter is one big allegory for "the futility of socialism." Apparently, reacting with disbelief makes me a "disruptive influence." FML

Sorry, your teacher's really dumb. I hope you make it through.

Try using the word "niggardly", and perhaps be ready to explain to her the etymology of that word in case she accuses you of being racist again.

Not many people use cast iron anymore, it's such a great phrase but I also get a lot of odd looks when I use it . However I feel your English teacher should be familiar with it. Unfortunate.

You guys are all f***ing idiots.....titilate means "to stimulate sexually" or "excite in a sexual fashion".

If ALL of us think otherwise, are you sure you're not the "f***ing idiot"?

The teacher isn't wrong about the word titillate. Here is its definition: tit·il·late /ˈtitlˌāt/ Verb Stimulate or excite (someone), esp. in a sexual way It is sort of pornographic.

You can't even say "black" any more in reference to black people. Hey, if you are African American, then by God you had better start referring to me as European American instead of... "Whitebread"

You can't say anything about anyone, unless they perceived to be the average, then you can say whatever you want. At least that is what my college social work course has taught me.
