Today, out of habit from twelve years of karate classes, I bowed to my teacher as I exited my classroom. My chemistry classroom. FML
I agree, your life sucks 45 578
You deserved it 7 283

Same thing different taste

It shows that you've learned respect, maybe a little out of context, but there is a bright side to this

I might be different but that's how we actually greeted teachers (and really any adult walking into classroom) when I was back in elementary school.

actually in japan that's what you do. You shouldve said "Have a good day Sensei"

I don't consider it a FML story. What you did is a sign of respect towards someone.

I think he is trying to say chop as in karate chop but no it doesn't work

I think it's neither an FML nor a YDI. It was kind of unusual (alright, that was weird to be honest) but who cares?

I think you're awesome. This post made my day

It happens. I studied and did my internship in Japan, so now, even if I'm back in France, I still have the habbit to do that little bow. It's not a bad habbit though, it shows respect, so it's ok.

Nothing wrong with show a little respect.

I've only been practicing Aikido for a year and sometimes I catch myself bowing when entering and leaving a room. Haven't actually done it yet, but when I do I expect a lot of questions...
