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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I tripped in front of my graduation class of 225 and all of their relatives while receiving my diploma. FML
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, at my college, someone snatched my laptop out of my hands, so I chased him. Turns out I'm so overweight and slow that he moonwalked away facing me, while I sprinted my heart out. FML
Today, I learned that in spite of walking during the ceremony, my graduation was denied. That was nearly 4 years ago, and I never knew this was a possibility. I'd been a drop-out all this time. 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, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML
Today, my high school diploma came in the mail. I accidentally ripped the diploma while opening it. FML
Today, I walked at my graduation ceremony, proudly wearing my valedictorian cords. It turns out that, after some confusion on behalf of the student services office, I was neither valedictorian nor salutatorian (by 0.2 points). I'm dating the actual valedictorian. FML
Today, my university is capable of sending me two diplomas in short succession due to a clerical error, but can't recognize that I've graduated and won't be taking classes with them in the fall. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What college gives you the actual diploma at the ceremony?
marcranger 29
Small ones with fewer than 500 graduating seniors and two weeks between finals and graduation, giving the professors enough time to make sure seniors actually passed their classes. If OP was in front of a crowd of 55,000, however, it seems unlikely that he attended such an institute.

Don't worry, OP. That piece of paper wasn't your actual diploma. The real diploma will be mailed to you. Shame on that jerk though.

Think the appropriate response would be, 'Thanks Dad.'

Good thing it's not actually your diploma. You'll get that in about 3 months. ;) however, still not cool.

I hope the campus police went after him! I'm graduating community college on May 23 and my diploma is being mailed to my house. I think that should be done at a lot more collages/universities. It ensures that you actually get your diploma and nobody steals it.
