Today, I graduated from college and my parents gave me an apple. Not the computer, the fruit. FML

Is that their way of joking about you becoming a teacher?

Haha, I love how some people are grabbing the FML as an opportunity to be all "DURR HURR that doesn't sound like an officially sanctioned Microsoft product so it MUST be bad, I'd better express my fear of the unknown on the internets or people might think I've CAUGHT THE GAY, A-DURR" :D @69: what you're thinking of are Trojan horses (I think a whole 2 of them), which depend on fooling the user into LETTING them do their dirty work. There isn't one virus for OS X so far that could infect its way out of a paper bag, and that hasn't changed in the last 8 years or so, despite the adulation from Windows victims it would earn the writer of such a virus. Antivirus apps for Macs are there to prevent conscientious Mac users from spreading Windows malware to Windows computers. OP, you come off sounding a little spoiled, though, just for (apparently) expecting a lavish gift. It always, always ends up better when you force yourself to stay humble and expect nothing; then you can be pleasantly surprised by just about anything. Besides, you're lucky enough to have been in good enough financial circumstances to put yourself (or be put) through college; it won't be very hard now to get yourself a job where affording a computer with a legitimate OS that can actually do something besides play games without defecating on itself isn't so daunting. I guess one thing college didn't teach you was perspective. :)

You should've kindly asked for a banana instead. Mmmmmmmmmmmm... love bananas.

GIFTS?!?! For being graduating college?!?!?!? What you went there to FAIL?!?!? Everyone one who goes to college goes to pass..... AND i bet mommy and daddy paid for it too. Learn to work and fight for yourself. PS Macs suck. You probably wanted one bc you're too mentally deficient to learn how to avoid getting a virus in the first place. I want you to right click with that macbook....

@Shippicus: He wasn't too mentally deficient to learn how to avoid getting a virus in the first place: you do it by not using Windows in the first place. Done and done. Or were you just saying "Macs suck" because that's what everyone else (who's never used anything but Windows) is saying? I swear, the Windows camp is like the friggin' Soviet Union sometimes. Also: two fingers instead of one. Try it sometime. (cue "that's what she said" jokes)

haha! I'm not the only one! My parents couldn't even give me an apple, I'm allergic, so I just got nothing.

and why do you think u deserve gifts because you finished something. its not like you were doin it for them. and chances are they paid thousands for you to go there. isnt that enuff for you? your ****** ungrateful

To all the people screaming "Your parents probably wasted tons of money on your college education and now youe xpect a gift oh god you're so spoiled..." WHO in the world said that the OP is from the US where you have to pay a freaking fortune to go to college? A lot of federal states in Germany have free college education, all you pay is an administrative fee of about $60 each semester. And even here where I go to college my parents paid about $3000 total for my college education...for FOUR years that is. And I'm sure there's other countries as well where you don't have to spend your life savings to get education. And why is getting a gift for college graduation a sign of being spoiled??? There's sooooooooooo many people getting gifts such as cars when they graduate highschool...an graduating highschool is definitely less of an accomplishment than graduating college.

Quit posting on here and go get a job with that degree of yours... No seriously get over it.

DDDAAAMMMMM. well its the thought tht counts :]

Probably all they could afford after paying your fees for years........... F 'their' L
