Today, my grandmother's excuse for not going to my college graduation was because she'd already bought her bingo card. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my grandma said, "I know you don't have any plans tonight. Do you want to go to bingo with me?" I said sure out of pity, and ended up being her designated driver after she got wasted later in the evening. FML
Today, I was visiting my grandmother at her retirement community. Bingo is really popular there and she loves it, so I went thinking it would be a fun activity for us. I won the jackpot and my car got keyed by a group of angry old people. FML
Today, the only person in my entire family to show up sober and on time to my graduation was my grandma. FML
Today, my mom told me that on my graduation day, the reason she (and my dad) almost didn't show up was because they had to spend almost an hour convincing my grandma to attend. FML
Today, I won $20 on a scratch ticket my grandma bought me. She wants it back. FML
Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML
Today, I lost a bet with my grandma, and now she's coming with me on my next date. FML
Today, my grandparents told me they couldn't make it to my college graduation, even with months in advance to plan, because they had their annual Mother's Day plans with friends. Plans they've had every year, and are further away. This was the only time I'll ever have a graduation ceremony. My grandpa is my last biological grandparent. FML
Today, my grandmother tried to upstage me at my wedding by wearing an actual wedding dress because she "never had a real wedding". FML
Today, I had to pick my grandma up because she was drunk, at church, at 9am. FML

You can't come between old people and their bingo. FYL.

how boring was your degree? if it was really boring and useless that doesn't make very much money... than I don't blame her. But would you rather have your parents make up an excuse over your grandma? I think not.

Granduations are so boring unless it's your own. I don't blame your grandma for wanting to play bingo.

Hopefully if she wins a large prize she doesn't scream out expletives in a celebratory manner.

this isn't an FML because you graduated college.
