Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML

Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML

Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML

Op I can relate, I was told to apologize to an African foreign exchange student because I'm white. They denied that I most of my family lived in the north and my other family came to America after WWI.

Honestly, it's getting ridiculous, I was told I was politically incorrect for referring to people as "sir" and "ma'am". Transgender, fine, but these made up genders, bigender, agender, genderfluid, and having to ask people "what pronouns do you prefer?" is just getting way too far.

I'm all for supporting people's identities, but there comes a point where it feels people are doing it to be "special snowflakes".

People say that it's scientifically linked that misgendering a trans person can cause them to commit suicide. It's bullshit. Everyone decides how to react to things, commiting suicide is a choice.

Today, my thieving, layabout stepmom planted weed in my bedroom and showed my dad. Well, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions here, but her smirk and telling me later that I shouldn't fuck with her again seems conclusive to me. Goodbye freedom. FML
