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, 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

Sharing is caring

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

Rofl a GED is NOT just as hard as high school. A GED is what the public education system hands out to pregnant teenagers and dropouts in order to claim more government benefits. It's depressing that education standards are so low that some loser can take a test and then claim the same degree that I spent years taking AP classes to get.

71 sounds like one of those nerds with no friends that got picked on every day so he ran away from highschool to go to college and sit in his dorm and study all night

FYL :( And seriously, not everyone gets a GED because they were high school dropouts, there are plenty of other reasons like they were done with high school and wanted to move on.

106--you're an idiot. The GED exam is a joke, but so is a HS diploma. If you seriously thought getting your diploma was hard work, then you have issues. You may be one of the exceptions by actually taking a rigorous courseload, but do you remember your classmates? the ones that did no work, but showed up anyways? they graduated for showing up. I had a 4.0+ but had to leave due to medical reasons in the beginning of my junior year. I entered college with a GED but had several AP credits anyways. The GED is not just for those who have made mistakes, but those with extreme situations. I'm happy that option is there because it has allowed me to get where I am today. I'm sure once I'm done my patients won't care about my high school status.
