I've received a failing grade before. It had nothing to do with a failing on the part of the teaching staff. Some people, though. I saw a student come into one of my physics classes (before class) and bitch out the prof because he had two mid terms on the same day. 
Like they plan that, across the campus. 
I always looked at the final schedule to ensure that I didn't have two finals on the same day. It still happened. It's just the way it is. But having a linear algebra final and a physics mechanics final on the same day, back-to-back, left me a little dazed. I look back on what I "learned", and realize how much I have forgotten. Use it or lose it.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
