Today, at my graduation for my high school GED, my parents said they were getting all my family and my girlfriend together. So we all went out to a steakhouse down the road, everyone ordered steaks. Turns out the 'surprise' was me paying. I only got 50$ grad money, and the bill was 159.98. FML

Today, after months of living on five dollars a day for food in college, I found out my parents bought me an expensive meal plan and forgot to mention it. FML
Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. 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 invited all of my friends to my graduation party, and even paid for them all to be there. They all didn’t show. FML
Today, I was delivering pizzas for my summer job. I got a big order to deliver for a fellow graduate's party. While I was being paid for the order my friend shows up and says "Don't pay him, his parents are rich, he can handle it." Then they shut the door and took off. The bill was $75. FML
Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML
Today, I was working my shift at a fancy restaurant and it had been a really hard day. My parents came in to have dinner and surprise me. After paying, they left a note saying they would see me at home. It also said "By the way, no tip, because you stink at serving." FML
Today, my parents came to the restaurant I work at as a waiter. After, I picked up the check to realize they had left me a $500 tip! We split the tips among the employees so I only got $50 back but I was still psyched. When I got home they asked me if I had noticed that they used my credit card. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow. First off, congratulations on completing your GED, many people stop going to H.S. and then never get a GED. However, for all you claiming it's the same, it's not. For everyone claiming it's harder to take some high school level test then to show up and complete homework, tests, projects, etc. for four years, I'm sorry but your wrong. That being said, let's all agree that GED's and H.S. diplomas are jokes. Anyone with half a brain can get them. A GED accounts for approx. 1 out of every 7 H.S. diploma/certificates issued. While you can certainly become a success with a GED, the sad fact is that the majority of those with GED's are not more successful than those with H.S. diplomas. So congratulations again for sticking with it. I encourage you to continue working hard, and to defy the statistics. FYI to everyone who has read this FML. The $ sign goes before the amount. So its $50 not 50$. Oh yah and for the British person, a GED is an equivalency certificate. It is meant for those who could not/did not complete high school with a diploma, for a variety of reasons. Most commonly the reason is for illness or disciplinary reasons. There use to be a time when young men/women would enter the military early and receive a GED instead of a diploma, however that's far more rare these days.

@ #120 Why not name the schools? Her GED did not get her into that "Top 50" university, she had to go to a local college. Had she jumped right from GED to this "Top 50" school I would be impressed, but as you told it I am not. The fact is no one with a GED is going to get right into Harvard and those top schools.
