Today, my grandpa sent me a letter apologizing for not congratulating me about my graduation last spring. Too bad I don't graduate until May. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, it's been several weeks since I unfortunately had to tell my grandpa that I wouldn't make it to his birthday party due to jury duty. It's now the day before, which also happens to be his birthday, and I just discovered that I was excused due to them having extras and replacing me. Too late now. FML
Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML
Today, my grandfather scolded me for not wanting to go to my 12-year-old cousin's basketball game. This is the same grandfather that refused to go to my high school graduation. FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Today, I found out that I was not invited to my grandma's 80th surprise birthday party. I found out about it from my mom who lives out of state. I’m the only immediate family that would've been able to come. Due to coronavirus, I also missed my grandpa's 80th birthday. Guess I’m 2/2 this year. FML
Today, my grandfather sent everyone in my family an email thanking them for the photo we got him. I'd bought the frame, edited the picture, and delivered it to him. All everyone else did was show up and complain while the picture was being taken. I'm the only one who didn't get a thank you email. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh shit your life suck-- Yeah, I don't even know how to fake that. Tell him, "Sorry I'm a year younger!" And move on with it. This isn't even "oh shucks" worthy, really.

You need to quit whining. At least your grandfather cared enough to apologize even if it was wrong. Unless you're and idiot and fail a grade... Either way, YDI for being a whiny moron. My dad wouldn't even come to my graduation and he knew when it was...

ok everyone is being so judgemental, you know nothing about their relationship and he might not be that old. my grandpa is only in his 60s and always forgets important things, not bc he is old just bc he doesnt care. the one time he did remember he sent a blank card without even signing anything in it for my birthday

I submitted an FML a few months ago about the time I ran into my grandma and she didn't know who I was. I'm her first grandchild and we've both lived in the same city within three miles of each other my entire life-- I see her every couple of months. And THIS is what it takes to get an FML posted to the site?

Why is this an FML? I understand the FML that's two posts later: the one where the engaged girl catches her fiancée with his wife. But this? And my FML's weren't posted?? What??

Mmmm....not an FML. If it was, it would be fhl not fyl. There are some hardcore FMLs out there that make ones like this not stand a chance! Come back when you catch your wife having an affair on Google maps... (seriously that one was NUTS.) :P

So? Your poor gramps just got mixed up. He's old. This is not FML material. F your grandpa's L for having such a whiny little disappointment for a grandkid.

Pretty cool gramps if he's apologizing for not congratulating you, regardless.
