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, 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 received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML

Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML

Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML

Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML

Today, I was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition. After months of waiting, during which my parents were convinced I had won, I discovered that my entry had never been received. Apparently the woman I had confirmed with had had a long day, and lied so that she could go home. FML

Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML

Your dad is a real asshole!!! An entire month, come on. You should tell him now HE gets to contact the college you wanted to go to and tell them it was HIS fault, not yours. Then he can plead with them to let you back in. If the scholarship is lost, he gets to pay your tuition!

your dad is a complete _______ retard when you try to have kids of youre own you better be praying they get as little of his genes as possible and kick him in the nuts for good measure then sue him for emotional damages then kick him in the nuts again and tell your mom about his complete and utter stupidity i doubt he'll ever get any ever again and send him to an old folks home ASAP

The same thing ALMOST happened to me. I had recently moved in with my mom in her new apartment (my parents had just divorced) so my mail was still going to my old house, where my dad still lived. I came in to pick up something and saw a massive pile of unopened mail that he was too disorganized to sort through. I found my acceptance letter somewhere near the bottom.
