Today, it was my high school graduation. Everything was going fine until everyone saw my family fighting over where we would go afterwards. Security had to pull them apart. FML

Today, I tripped in front of my graduation class of 225 and all of their relatives while receiving my diploma. FML
Today, nobody wanted to come to my graduation after finding out that my father was coming too. FML
Today, I had my college graduation ceremony. As I was walking across the stage, some asshat, in front of over 55,000 students and staff, brazenly ran across the stage, snatched my diploma up out of the president's hand, and ran off. FML
Today, after two weeks of trying to convince my parents to go to my high school graduation. They finally gave in. After they handed me my diploma, they decided to leave because it was "too boring." I'm currently sitting on the curb of the street waiting for my Uber, while people take pictures of me. FML
Today, it was my college graduation ceremony. My parents didn’t come because they “forgot”, although I told them and had been reminding them for months. Last year was my little sister’s high school graduation. My parents wasted no time going to her ceremony and then took her out to dinner. FML
Today, I attended my graduation ceremony. My parents acted mysteriously and kept urging me to go home, since we had to be "on time" for something. Thinking they might have planned a surprise party, I left my friends behind. I missed my graduation because my mom wanted to watch a TV show. FML
Today, my family and I were about to watch the video my dad took of me walking across the stage at my high school graduation. Turns out he recorded the wrong kid. FML
Today, it was my stepdad's funeral. Everything was great, until people got drunk, kicked off, and the police got called. FML
Today, I was escorted out of the building for getting in a scuffle at my anger management class. FML
Today, I was at my sister's wedding. Everything was going flawlessly. That is, until our visibly drunk mom started a punch-up over who got to cut the cake first. FML

Why did nobody think to ask where the grad wanted to go?

Did they ever decide? I actually want to know what that great of a family would have agreed upon.

This fml meets the criteria, but dare I say it? BORING.

Well I'm very sorry that the entire FML community, including the moderators, failed to exceed your high comedic expectations. Perhaps you should submit one of your own, which will doubtless be far superior to this mediocre swill.

#5, I find the "boring" FMLs give commenters more of a chance to make up details and be creative with the causes and outcomes of the story. You really squandered your position at #5 by not putting anything more interesting than that. I find a family coming to fisticuffs at a solemn ceremony quite funny in a white trash/Deliverance/Honey Boo-boo kind of way.

Is your family Italian? Mama mia they should have saved the argument until after.

Hmmm... Chili's or Applebee's?

or Olive Garden

I bet a family like this must have been fighting over Denny's or Ponderosa, places like the Olive Garden are too high class.

Out of curiosity #14: What gave you the idea that OP's family isn't high class? I have seen high class families argue over stupid things in public just as much as I have viewed lower class families argue over stupid things in public too.

On the bright side, you're graduating. Most of the people that saw the fight will never see you again. So while it feels embarrassing now, there's really no need for it to be

Unless it's on YouTube. And since a graduation would be full of parents with video gear, there's a good chance it will be on YouTube.

Good point. Damn YouTube.

I feel for ya, but like everyone else so far, I'm curious if it was ever decided where to go....

I thought graduations were supposed to be a happy time when your family celebrates being able to kick you out of the house!
