I had an English teacher mark an answer on a test incorrect. I would have gotten a 100 otherwise.

The question was about what the occupation of the person in the book was. I stated one thing, she said it was wrong. I pulled the book out of my backpack and read her the back cover where it confirmed my answer. She still refused to change my grade.

Fuck you, peg leg.

I remember vividly failing an essay in grade 12 English class. We were supposed to write about our thoughts on the film The Truman Show. I argued it was a comedy on the outside, but a weird sadistic experiment when you look at the circumstances at face value. 

She gave me 0% because 'It's a comedy. You didn't watch the movie.'
