Got another one.
I was a student eq manager for the football team and we were all on athletic scholarships (same as the players). Well, because of that, our supervisor and compliance got our transcripts after finals as we had to comply with the same GPA req's and shite.
So one day during bowl season after practice, our supervisor asks one of us (R), why he failed ENGLISH 1001. R was a senior, it was his last semester. He had an A or a B in every other course. R is like what the frick? I din't fail English 1001, I didn't even take that class. Supervisor is like, well compliance says you failed it, and their pissed. Maybe talk to the dean. R schedules appointment with the dean and the professor that teaches that class. Nothing, not a single grade, assignment, attendance. Nothing. R did not show up for one single thing. He tried explaining, like look guys why the frick would I do this? Look at all my other grades. This class doesn't even count towards anything for me. It is obviously a screw up on the Bursars dept. They would hear none of it. Made him take the F.
So he literally lived that stress dream we all have about signing up for a class and forgetting about it all semester, and failing

Jesus, so it does happen in real life. I'm 40 goddamn years old, and I still occasionally have that dream.

Had that happen in grad school. It was a hybrid course, met 3 times a semester, the rest was online. They didn’t have my online stuff set up because I was a late enrollee. After a few weeks I got pissed and said screw it, then withdrew from the course. I thought.
I never got an email. No communication from the school. I got a letter in January saying I was on probation because I “earned” an F in a course I thought I dropped. I was not happy. Some bullshite. Whatever. That year sucked anyway.
