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

hey, # 88: "One more thing, people who get a GED tend to actually be more successful then high school grads." ...are you sure you got your GED because you were way too smart for High School? Then shouldn't you know...it's "than". Not "then"

WTF? What a dick move on their part. I would've laughed and walked out.

#106 - It's funny that you think you're so much cooler than everyone else because you graduated with a high school diploma and took "AP classes." I took every AP English class AVAILABLE in my high school, and left my junior year through obtaining a GED. I proceeded directly to college as an English major, with a goal to become a HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER. Don't sit here and act like your "shit don't stink" because you took AP courses -- I can guarantee that has nothing to do with whether you graduate in 3 years, 4 years, with a diploma, or with a GED. You make me sick. #229 - THANK YOU for bringing up spelling! The spelling and grammar of the people who would claim to be superior to those people with a "simple GED" is abhorrent! OP - FYL, I am sorry that happened to you. SUPER HUGE congratulations on your accomplishment, whatever the reason! And I hope you work things out with your family as to why they would have put you in such an embarrassing, awkward position when that was supposed to be your night.

Half of you people are MINDLESS DRONES. My ******* cousin was battling with a disease and was forced (Keyword: FORCED) to drop out of high school. He had ambitions to goto college, so GED was his only option. He is alright now and is now studying in college. So before you little tweenie boppers jump to conclusions, think WHY such things exist (Keyword:THINK (Not that most FML commenter's do anyways)).

I guess they thought someone with only a GED wouldn't be able to figure out what was going on.

They did that cause you got a Good Enough Degree, not a real diploma.

Just when I start to lose faith in humanity once again by reading comments like #108 (who needs to die in a hole as I'm sure he's one of the causes for the situation he describes), I read comments like #273 and #274, as well as some others, that restore that faith. Thank God for you people. OP- That seriously sucks. I agree with everyone who said you should have paid only for yourself and your girl, and walked out. Best of luck in life to you for whatever you choose to do now. Idiot commenters- **** off and quit life. Smart commenters- Thank you for existing.

Wow, some of these comments are pathetic. I honestly think some people on the FML comments have such low self esteem that they strain their brains trying to think of the most insulting, hurtful things they can say to the OP(usually some cheap insult about being fat or living in their moms basement) just so they can feel witty. internet+freedom of speech+anonymity= douchebaggery at its worst.

You shouldn't have paid for all of them, just yourself. Take this as a lesson in life to NOT let people walk all over you. Your family sounds toxic.
