Embarrassing, Weird and Miscellaneous: You OK, dude?

You OK, dude?

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, during a review session for a botany class, I began to space out. Then, I started to go, "Beep, beep, beep, beep." I stopped when I noticed the entire class staring at me as if I were insane. This was not the first time this had happened. FML

Today, I had an extreme panic attack in the middle of class. I interrupted another person's presentation, burst into tears, and ran out of class whilst everyone looked at me. FML

Today, I was super bored in health class so I decided to watch Invader Zim on my computer. I never made sure my headphones were connected. so the whole class turned and stared at me. FML

Today, I monitored my students as they conducted a lab experiment. I was walking to the other side of the room while looking at a student who seemed about to ask a question. When she looked up at me, I walked into a wall. FML

Making an entrance

By conspicuous - 12/09/2012 20:11 - United States - Baton Rouge

Today, I was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML

Leave me alone !

Today, I had a big exam. Twenty minutes in I could feel people turning round looking at me. I ignored them at first, but towards the one hour mark it got more distracting. I stood up and yelled, "Why's everyone staring at me!" I got kicked out. Turns out I was seated directly in front of the clock. FML

Dozing off

By Math_Rocker - 02/09/2009 22:17 - United States

Today, I fell asleep in class. Usually, people just sit still when asleep. Nope, not me. Not only had I been violently rocking and nodding my head, the teacher stopped class for everyone to see for 5 minutes as she made jokes. What woke me? The intense laughter, followed by embarrassment. FML

Today, I fell asleep in a lecture. I laughed at something amusing in Dreamworld, but the laugh came out as a prolonged creepy groan in Lectureworld. I woke up to see everyone within a 5 meter radius staring at me. FML

Today, the clock in the study lounge was off, so I was half-an-hour late to class. I was too embarrassed to walk in late, so I sat for the next half-hour with my ear against the door trying to hear the lecture. People stopped to ask if there was something wrong with me. Yeah, probably. FML

Rise and shine

By Noname - 18/03/2009 15:48 - United States

Today, I fell asleep in class during a boring economics lecture. I heard a whisper say, "Rise and shine, sleeping beauty." I thought it was my boyfriend, so I replied, "What time is it? When is this fucking class going to be over?" it wasn't my boyfriend talking. It was my professor. FML

And maybe the OP was just daydreaming about things that go beep? And then the OP was pretending to be that?

Don't even worry about it. Kids involuntarily beep about once a week in most schools

yeah i'm going with #50 and #63. maybe seizures can cause things like that... however i see way too many cases of people who get made fun of in school who are consciously doing things to get attention/"be random." if you don't want people to think you're weird, stop being weird. if you're ok with it, then keep being weird, but don't complain. pick one and move on.

Do you often ingest psychadelic narcotics before school?

If the same thing has happened to you before and it is involuntary, it may be a medical condition known as temporal lobe epilepsy. http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/epilepsy_temporallobe If this sounds like something you may have, perhaps you should see a neurologist.

Not drugs at all. There was a kid who did a simular thing to this at my middle school. It was a medical condition.

A) Lets leave the diagnosing to the guy's physician (the only one who's allowed to diagnose). B) From what he said, it sounds like he was conscious, considering he knew he was spacing out, beeping, noticed that everyone was watching him, and that it had happened before. He definitely knew what he was doing. C) If it has happened before, and in the off chance it wasn't intentional- wouldn't you have gotten it checked out?

Not to mention the fact that he just stopped at will. I'm pretty sure if it were a seizure like a lot of people seem to think, it wouldn't be something he could just stop himself when he saw everyone looking at him. I'm not a doctor though, so maybe I'm wrong.
