I will…. And will add they are like cockroaches, once they touch something, you don’t want anything to do with it.

My wife got her masters from NSU and...yea. I'll just say all the offenders with airhorns, cowbells etc started arriving as the keynote address was wrapping up so people were filing in as names were starting to be called (as if a certain demographic abides by it's own sense of time) which is disrespectful enough...they made an announcement about decorum and allowing all graduates to have a moment but that didn't stop some families.

Found a facebook thread with a meme about this and all the participants in the comments section were of that demographic...basic consensus was...we don't care if it's trashy or it bothers people we're gonna do it anyway. One even proudly posted how her daughter begged her not to make a scene which only made her want to make MORE of a scene.

Large families of 20 or 30 with motherfricking airhorns, screaming "that's my baby" for a full minute after their name was called


I don't get the people who want every member of their family to go watch the graduate. I know people want to see their favorite nephew or their first granddaughter graduate, but its not that exciting. Sure people want to see their person go up and get their diploma (which is really just a piece of paper), but then you have to sit through a bunch of bullshite. They should limit that shite to 4 people a person... Mom & pops.. Or guardians.. Then maybe a grandmother and a sibling.... Video the moment and show it to the others. No need for the bullshite.

A careful review of many hours of graduation footage has shown that the more noise produced by the family, the lower the GPA of the student.


Not true.

I graduated with a 1.6 GPA and my parents didn’t even show up.

Literally had a "queen" standing at the bottom of the steps at the PMAC screaming "BLACK STUDIES MATTER" for a solid minute after her baby shucked and jived across the stage.

That’s debatable, but God gave her the knees he should’ve given Derrick Rose.

Not familiar with her work, but then I stand corrected, I guess that degree was worth it.

Good for her.

UNO’s graduation was a mini-pro Palestine rally

It doesn't matter the graduation level, we went to an 8th grade graduation, the yelling and screaming was unreal. I'm thinking to myself, this is an 8th grade "show" graduation, not fricking Harvard.

I think they need a "Quiet" or "Traditional" graduation ceremony, and anyone that acts like TRASH actually gets hauled off by security. How did security allow airhorns in in the first place?


It would be cool if everyone else boo’d them loudly.

I've witnessed that same crap when my grandson was graduated at the PMAC.

Decorum is a forgotten word.

I saw a video on FB where some kid started dancing as he approached the principal. Principal sent him back and made him walk correctly.
