Today, I went to our school golf banquet, after being with the team and practicing every day for a few months with them. When it came time to get the certificates, all the names were called out. Except for mine. When I asked the coach where my certificate was, he said "Who are you?". FML

Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML

Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML

Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML

Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML

Today, my name was left off of the program at our band concert. I would have been fine with this if it wasn't the third time in a row that this has happened. Yes, I did show them each time. FML

Today, I walked at my graduation ceremony, proudly wearing my valedictorian cords. It turns out that, after some confusion on behalf of the student services office, I was neither valedictorian nor salutatorian (by 0.2 points). I'm dating the actual valedictorian. FML

Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML

Today, I was looking through my high school yearbook. I found a picture of myself and a couple of my friends at our senior prom. The caption gave the names of all my friends, their dates who didn't attend our school, and listed me only as "guest." FML

Today, my entire gym class had to run the 1600 with our coach calling out finishing times. My finishing time was reported as "3 days short of a year." FML

Who am I?

Today, after being with the company for over 3 years, I realised nobody really knows my name. This was after my boss was walking around a new staff member and couldn't introduce me. Neither could my colleague, who's been sitting next to me for the last 6 months. FML

Unless you were on the team, than that would be pretty harsh, considering your coach doesn't know you. As far as I know, seems like you just followed them. Doesn't make you 'earn' a certificate for going to practices for your own time.

Are you that kid who sits in the back of the class that everyone always forgets to pass a test to? You know, that kid who gets the "Have a great summer" message on the yearbook? And for the life of them, they can never remember your name? If so, I am sorry. *pat back* It will be okay buddy, it will be okay.

If you were so insignificant on the team that you didn't even get acknowledged by your coach, yeah YDI.

"Today, I held a banquet for my highschool golf team that I coach. After I presented everyone with their certificate, some kid stuck up their hand and asked where theirs was. I didn't recognise him and asked who he was. Turns out he's been on the team for 4 months. FML." OR "Today, I held a banquet for my highschool golf team that I coach. After I presented everyone with their certificate, some kid stuck up their hand and asked where theirs was. It was the team stalker who I've been trying to get the principal to remove for the past 4 months. FML."
