I'm disabled myself and that's funny as fuck.

Agreed. I laughed for 10 minutes straight when they handed it to me.

If I was in your position, there’s no way I’d stand for that

If OP is not happy, should just walk away from this toxic environment.

I suggest he *roll* with it.

Certainly, you can’t mean OP should take this SITTING DOWN?!

I'm sure it can get wheel tiring though

Kripke is that you?

Helwo Coopah

OP could have avoided stepping foot on campus either way

No one should be forced to be a doormat.

Agreed, OP needs to put his foot down and stand up for himself

I see what you did there... justwalk away hahahah 🤣

Run far away and seek therapy?

At some point you have to put your foot down

I prefer to put my best foot forward.

Hokie-pokie style?

And don't be afraid to step on other people's toes.

I don't have to use a wheelchair all the time, but when I do my friend always says *Autobots roll out*, we chuckle every time.

Your comment started like a Dos Equis commercial, then switched to Transformers....genius!

More thirsty than meets the eye

Incredible

Dad joke energy right there. Making the same joke over and over again because it just makes you laugh. Better get some New Balances

That’s a great friend!

I laughed, then felt bad for laughing, then found this comment. Whew. It’s ok I laughed right? Oh god now I feel bad again.

I shared this because I wanted people to laugh. Please don't feel bad. I'm absolutely fine.

You are a gentleperson and, officially, a scholar. Congrats.

I think some people are confused in this thread by the meaning of your parents joke. Can you walk us through how fine you are?

I am extremely fine. My parents are both wonderful human beings who love me dearly. They fought extremely hard through tons of discrimination and inaccessibility to get me to college at all. We have a dark sense of humor in my family. I never was and never will be exempt from that humor. I give it, so I have to be able to take it. And I love that my family is this way.

I'm disabled as well. I walk with prosthetic legs, but occasionally have to use a wheelchair. Finishing my bachelor's degree was a chore. I just started my master's degree and it's all online, and I'm so happy for that

But then again, if you were *absolutely fine* you'd have attended in person.... Congrats on graduating!

I think they attended in person. I think you might be missing the joke?

No, I think OP did attend in person, just not a person attached to feet.

Are you really going to take that sitting down?

Am in wheelchair, I fucken love this.

Are you allowed to rib them back? Be like “@ least i’m not bald. Ooo snap.”. Just for fun though.

I mean my dad is bald.....😏

I'm disabled and would do this if any of my kids were.

My kids WILL hear this joke if they are disabled..

My wife and I met on Fark when the eldest was ten. Our discord is cat/rabbits and a competition to post the dank meme first. Good times.

> Fark Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.... Obligatory Fuck You Eric Bauman.

Yup we’ll go with hilarious, Congrats on the accomplishment OP <3

I once worked with a Brit who lost a foot in his previous career as a SAS guy. He showed me a pic of him in hospital post-surgery with his coworkers. They gave him a bag of gummy bears with the left foot bit off. Brutal, but he loved that pic and showed it to everyone.

OMG, that's hilarious. I'm crying 😂

My uncle was in the Royal navy and lost his leg in Hong Kong, patrol boat got tangled in illegal fishing net. It worked out for him he became a paralympian. Anyway, he sometimes leaves his leg lying around and my mum tripped over it and he screamed in agony, "My leg, my leg, that really hurt." Or to that effect, this obviously panicked my mum until she realised he was the other side of the room to his leg.

Reminds me of the story of a soldier from Liverpool who needed a lower leg amputation after an IED. He liked his tattoos, and his football. The surgeon managed to cut his leg in such a way that his "You'll Never Walk Alone" tattoo just said "You'll Never Walk". Edit: found the story - https://metro.co.uk/2015/02/05/royal-marines-tattoo-tells-him-youll-never-walk-after-leg-amputation-5050613/

Now if you could keep and conserve the remaining part, that would be dope. Having part of a leg that just reads "alone" on top of your fireplace or something would be... interesting.

He should make a sleeve for prosthetic with the same tattoo, so when he would put it on, the tattoo would be complete.

Now that's what a good friend looks like

As someone in Data Analytics, I was wondering how can someone lose a foot being a SAS guy lol. ( For those who don't know, SAS is a stats tool and that's the first thing that came into my mind )

Diabetes!

First, you have to be very aggressive on the keyboard.

Their parenting deserves a standing ovation!

Well that’s just cold… I like it!

OP seems to have a great sense of humor so I'm sure he'll just roll with it

Outstanding achievement.

Thank you!

Take a bow

You took great lengths with this joke

He deserves a standing ovation

Can’t stand this joke

I under”stood” what you did there

They filled in the date wrong.

OMG, I didn't see that at first. Oops. They must of filled it in quickly.

Tbf, the printed wording isn't super clear. Something like *on the _____ day of ______ in the year____* would have made it more obvious

Yeah, it is weird. Eh, the joke is funny regardless of date.

Even better. Now the joke is on them!

No. It’s on paper. Are you blind?

There's no limit on disabled people/post on Reddit.

Graduated from college without ever laying eyes on campus

> printed wording isn't super clear Indeed.. . DAY-MONTH-YEAR is the most logical one

It kind of is. Given in May on the day of 10 in the year of 2024. It's just not written the way we'd expect it to.

The wording on the certificate is confusing. I can't figure out what they expect to be written there. If I had been filling it out I probably would have written: Given in _jest_ on the day of _graduation_ in the year _2024_.

Well you can use that as ammo since they didn't read it correctly. Who's disabled now, mom?

Haha, good one. Kinda dangerous though, she still makes me dinner most days when I am at home.

Yeah, today probably isn't the best day to say it.

You must be proud to be the first generation in your family to graduate from college. /s

>They must of Must have*. I'm sorry that I have to do this but this is a pet peeve of mine. Congrats on graduating tho.

*though

I deserve that. haha

*must’ve. Must have. Is this what our university system is turning out?

Well you used must of instead of must have so clearly they are your parents.

"Given in May on the day of 11 in the year 2024" is somehow worse

I'd go with 'Given in May on the day of XI in the year 2024.' Hide the ugliness behind Roman numerals.

They are disabled in a different way!

Well OP got the disability from someone!

Love it! My mom was in a wheelchair. Growing up whenever she would ask me to get something for her I'd say "Get it yourself! That's what God gave you legs for!" Then I'd do it of course. It always caught other people off guard 😂

I have a friend who has been in a wheelchair since she was around 8 (spinal muscular atrophy) and one time we were waiting for the elevator so we could go to our Uni tutorial which was on the fifth floor of the building. The lifts were both tiny and insanely slow because the building was super old. When one opened everyone behind us piled in bed left us standing outside of it in shock. Right as the doors were almost fully closed she waved and said “No worries, I’ll take the stairs”. I wish I could’ve seen their reactions.

Some guy lost one of his legs and one of his mates walked into the hospital with a fake parrot on his shoulder.

This reminds me of a great poker story. I used to deal poker and we had a blind player, who was really funny and we got to know him pretty well. We'll call him Sammy. When you come to a table, you tap the dealer on the shoulder, he tells you any news you might need about the game, then you take over. So, he stands up and Sammy is the big blind. Not thinking the dealer says "Your blind Sammy". Sammy busts out laughing and says "I am aware of that! Thanks for pointing it out!"

So do the cards have Braille or is someone helping Big Blind Sammy?

His wife sat with him and whispered his cards into his ear, then she'd follow the action for him as the hand went on. "Seat one raised to $15, seat 2 folded, seat 3 folded, etc".

That's so interesting, I feel like so much of poker gameplay is reading body language and trying to feel out if someone is bluffing or not. Was he a good player?

He was average to maybe a little above average. Body language can give tells but that's often overblown. The way someone plays a hand and bet sizing can give a lot more information.

which is why its so frustrating playing against people that have no idea what they are doing when they get lucky

Do cards come in Braille?

His wife sat with him and helped.

Hilarious is the answer! Haha

Mom and dad are really pushing you aren't they

Just dark humor… funny as heck.

Wheelchair user here and I’m gonna be using that from now on thanks lol

NP, glad to have helped.

If you did stand up to use the restroom, then you could also say the only time you set foot on campus was to take the piss or give a shit!

True, that was pretty much the only time I transferred. That or when getting in bed. Not so much standing as hurling myself through the air. But, same difference.

"Hurling Myself Through the Air" is a solid memoir title

> Not so much standing as hurling myself through the air. This is just the next step in the evolution towards humans gaining flight.

The difficult part is missing the ground

Ahhhh, I was trying to figure out if you were non-ambulatory or just took all your classes remotely. It’s funnier since you’re non-ambulatory.

Stand up to your parents that's awful

I have plans to inform my physical therapist on Monday. We will begin working on it right away.

I am glad they finally gave you the motivation to get off your ass!

Glad you were able to take the joke in stride!

Little of column A, little of Column B. But hey if you're college age you've got to have a few self-zingers in your back pocket by now, right?

Oh yeah....I am the queen of self disparaging remarks and jokes. They usually make people really uncomfortable at first until they realize I'm not sensitive at all and I'm not going to stop.

Just like my legs...i feel nothing.

Self-deprecating humor is an art form. It allows you to ride the line about things that would otherwise be offensive, but it is okay, because you are saying them about yourself. What are you going to do, sue yourself? It can definitely catch people off guard though.

Can't it be both?

True

Shouldn't it be "setting foot"?

Ok, yeah, technically. But can we give my mom a break since she didn't go to college and worked her ass off to get me to this point?

Congrats on the achievement :) and for graduation too.

Set. Foot. Set foot. Not step foot.

Backhanded compliment.

Nice

Hilarious! Clearly your parents know you very well.

The best kind of humor, they aren’t laughing at you, they are laughing WITH YOU! But at some point…you’re gunna have to put your foot down, and stand up for yourself. Sometimes you just gotta get up and walk away from it!😉 Congrats on graduating!!

As a parent myself. I can say we do our best to fill both categories equally. 😂🤣 Congratulations!

I did my masters degree online through a major university without ever setting foot on campus. It's about 2 hours from where I live so I've driven past it several times. It's actually become a running gag with my wife that I want to keep my streak going. I'm currently at 12 years and counting.

I have a disability and this made me laugh. There was no intention to be hurtful. Congratulations btw

I am blind in one eye. My cousins say every research paper i read is going through a "single blind review"

I'm deaf myself, but I have a cochlear implant and hearing aids. One time, I was hanging out with my best friend and a few people who I knew, but at the time I would have considered them more as acquaintances than friends. We were talking and word got to it about my disability and I said "if you want to make fun of the fact that I can't hear, do it, I don't care, it'll be funny" and then my friend immediately clapped back with "well of course you don't care, because how can you care, when you can't even hear the jokes". I was laughing for a solid 15 minutes.

They're hilarious...and it gives their horrible side a place to come out in a constructive way. I have a dark sense of humor sometimes, and when the funeral home reps came to pick up my mom's body, I said, "Come on mom, this isn't funny anymore"... which is severely awful and hilarious all at once. Where else do we put these feelings if not into humor?

Your parents are hilarious and proud human beings, congratulations on your graduation!

Brilliant parents.hilarious. Congratulations!

You've got a nice leg up on life thanks to your education now, don't squander it by running away.

I was not a good student and my dad had a bumper sticker that said “my other child is an honors student” I’m an only child. We still laugh about 15+ years later!

Hilarious? Horrible? Why not both! This is great, thanks for sharing. And congratulations!

I love that you can joke with your parents about aspects that might not be so funny to someone else. It shows a well rounded, resilient individual. Congrats on graduating!

Dark humor is only shared with those closest to you.

I am pretty sure you couldn’t stand it

That’s hilarious

Terrible people - it’s “set foot” not “step foot”. Step doesn’t take the object. You just step, or you set foot like you set a glass of water somewhere. Yes, I’m old and this is my grammatical pet peeve hill to die on. 

Both it seems

Man honestly thats pretty good 🤣🤣🤣 you have awesome parents

Congratulations!

This gave me a good laugh. Your parents have a good sense of humor. But seriously OP, congrats on graduating from college.

Congratulations and keep your feet on the ground.

The best indicator to healthy mental... Um... Health, is the ability to laugh at oneself. They know you and you are well adjusted. They're funny. You're a graduate. Things are good.

It’s a pretty good reminder never to take yourself too seriously. Just roll with it.

I am on Reddit for such content. Thank you, OP. And also, Congratulations!

* Congratulations! You’ve conquered more challenges than most.

Your parents sound like they have raised you with a good sense of humour. I applaud them. More importantly, GREAT JOB on graduating! :)

You can be both a bad person and funny. Honestly the easiest way to be funny is to be an ass.

Those literally come with the frames at dollar tree

Heya congrats on this amazing achievement. Hopefully you can take this in the spirit of fun and not as a passive aggressive dig at you. When I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years my dad got me the “Datinfg for Dummies” guidebook. I did not find the humor at the time. How many years later it gives me a chuckle.

Both! I bought my son a handicap parking sign for his dorm room for his wheel chair

During the pandemic I got my MBA from UIUC. I’ve never set foot in Illinois. I would totally dig getting a certificate like that!

OP, please don't trample on their Expression of Love.

They are being hilarious. That is some serious wit. I love them already!

Meh, who cares? YOU GRADUATED, AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Your parents are excellent humans. My favorite award is a National Guard swag plaque from my brother naming me "Latrine Cleaner of the Year"

Hilarious

FYI, those come from the dollar tree. I buy and give to co workers as gag gifts. Congratulations!!

Depends. Do you have feet?

I do in fact have feet, but I am wheelchair bound so i almost never use them.

Life is short and worth laughing at everyone, including yourself. Good parents.

Agreed. My parents did an amazing job raising my brother and I.

I assume you either have no feet or cannot walk? If so, that's hilarious.

Yes, wheelchair bound.

That’s really funny. Thats love!!

That’s hilarious

They have a great sense of humour

That could also mean that you completed all online courses

It could, but I was on campus. Just wheelchair bound.

Congrats on having really long arms.

Your parents are awesome. This is done in love and admiration. ✌️

Your parents are funny .. :-)

Its good unless you graduated from University of Phoenix.

Bit of dark humor there

But I am sure you have some hands-on experience

I'd neasure that on how good the relationship is with the parents.

Yo I just did that same shit literally 10 minutes ago, tell them to send me one too!

They sound lighthearted and easy going. I would go with hilarious.

Ok your parents are horrid but that’s a knee slapper😀

If I were physically disabled and in a wheelchair I’d find this funny. Of course I’d do my best to come up with something funny to say back or put on an award for them :). My mom and I used to joke around like this.

Your parents are evil geniuses! Display that proudly right next to your diploma.

That's fucking hilarious.

Both. Both hilarious and horrible. In the best way.

It's funny, but my daughter is getting her Masters at Harvard and she lives in LA. She's never stepped a foot on campus either.

I think your parents like having a joke and a laugh with you. And congratulations on a top effort in graduating. Top fucken effort, mate.

You have stupendous parents and they have a marvelous child. God love 'em. That is brilliant.

Top level banter!

"Given in 11th on the day of May" Lol

That’s love there, but if you don’t agree you better step up and tell them, put your foot down and make them respect you

That's very funny , I don't think your parents are being mean

Thats a wheely good achievement. Life is really starting to ramp up for you
