Today, my school textbook's back cover ripped off. Not wanting to have my teacher find out, I glued the cover back together. Only after the glue dried did I realize that I actually glued the back cover upside down. FML

Hey this is OP, I made an account to comment and shed a little light on the situation. Yes, I go to public school, and yes we have to pay fines for damaged or missing books. The thing is, the back cover was only barely hanging on and it snapped off while I was taking it out of my bag. I put down in the original FML that it came off due to being worn.

Just tell the teacher not to judge your book by its cover.

Why are you guys telling him to not reproduce and go kill himself and shit? Chill the **** out. What he did was stupid, yeah... but it's just a book. Chillax... Anyway, OP, you shouldn't have done that tbh... just tell your teacher because he/she will know that it wasn't your fault and they would know how old the book is... unless they're retarded.

from my experience with textbooks we had to fill out a book card and rate the quality of the book we get. I'm sure your teacher will understand if she knew it was already nearly broken.

So I'm curious, did you glue the outside edge to the torn edge, or did you glue it on upside down AND inside out? Either way, that's pretty daft.

Wait, why do you have to pay fines on your books? I go to a public school and we have to buy our book that we own.

my school owns their books so if you destroy them you have to pay to replace them

That's very common practice in public schools in America.

Leave it. No one will notice. If they do, act like you never noticed.

OP here again, I ended up telling the teacher and she's cool with it. (I ended up ripping the cover back off) See, even she knows how utter crap these public school textbooks can be over the years.
