Yeah...you're totally an idiot for reminding yourself to pay rent. I mean come on dude...you have a final to take! Who cares if you have a place to live.... People...come on. It's not like he had: call girlfriend on his hand. This was something relatively important. The teacher is a complete artard for not checking the note and then flipping out. Besides, it was right on his hand....the teacher could have easily read it first before ripping it up....the teacher is actually pretty stupid because WHY would a student try to cheat by writing something on their hand IN PLAIN SIGHT! gosh...was it in your palm or what? The dude could have at least given you more credit for "cheating" more creatively.

YDI - you knew you had to take the test.

fake. rehashing old fmls shouls be punishable somehow.

YDI for thinking notin would be wrong writing something on ur hand when u had a huge exam dumass

Why do you need to write on your hand to remind yourself to pay rent? You should be able to remember when you should pay rent since you pay it the same time each month. Rent is typically due at the end of the month or the beginning of the month. Even if you felt you had to write it down, couldn't you have put it down on a piece of paper and put it in you pocket? As far as the FML is concerned, I have to call shenanigans. What kind of teacher goes around ripping up someone's test paper during a test? This is unprofessional behavior. I've never experienced this and it sounds too outrageous to be true.

Your teacher sounds like a total spaz. And I do believe you... some teachers are like that. They are so desperate to assert their authority that they do the most ridiculous things. At least you learned something valuable: leave notes for yourself in a conspicuous place other than your body parts. For example, to remind yourself to pay rent, you could have written that note... on a check. You could have written the name of the person on the "note" and the amount and even signed the "note". Then you could have left it in a conspicuous place... like your landlord's hand or the rental office.

Haha this reminds me of the one where the TA ripped up the boys test and then read the note he had that said " I beleive in you love mom. Hahahaha

screw the teacher. they cant tear your answer copy in any circumstances.

YDI. Invest in some post-it notes.

Oh my God, I am so always worried about that happening... 58 if you're at the point where you're writing on your hand to remember stuff you'd no doubt lose the post-it anyway ;)
