They're not real
Today, my girlfriend, KNOWING I have severe arachnophobia, changed the wallpapers on my phone and tablet to pictures of tarantulas, all because she's mad at me. And she won't change it back. FML

Today, my girlfriend bought me a pet tarantula. I now have one of my biggest fears crawling around my house. FML

Pranks are shit
Today, my wife got me back for hiding a realistic tarantula replica in her underwear drawer. She ground up hot peppers and horseradish and shoved it in my mouth while I slept. I woke up screaming in pain and went to the hospital before she confessed. FML

No future
Today, I had no idea my girlfriend had such a poor sense of humour until I pranked her by hiding a plastic spider in the kitchen, and she broke up with me and asked me to move out. She’s not even arachnophobic, so I don’t get her extreme reaction. FML

Today, I saw a spider in my bathtub, so instead of killing it, i decided to bring my dog inside the bathroom to kill the spider for me. Turns out that the spider was a black widow, and my dog was bit. The dog killed the spider. The spider killed my dog. FML

Awwww, how sweet!
Today, after having a 3-day vacation and feeling a bit bummed that it was over, I got home to find a black widow watching her babies hatch in my office window. FML

Oh shit. Didn't see that coming. SMH.

I think anybody with extra limbs gives a lot of people the creeps

She must not be a native then because that definitely is not the Minnesota nice that is characteristic of the area.

Having lived in minnesota I can from experience say that it's not always the case.. "Minnesota Nice" is really just another saying. Only difference is that people there aren't as vocal about it.
OhDearBetrayal 25
I have and am still living in Minnesota. I know what you're talking about. I'm just saying that it's not often that you find a Minnesotan that is vocal about their racism.

Is there even many black people to hate within the state of Minnesota...?

That's a bit over the top... **** your wife.

Yeah, like how do you not notice that your wife hates black people? You haven't encountered them throughout your relationship or what?
fuzz97 23
I dunno, I can see how that fact might have remained ridden. I mean, it's not as if he ever asked her "do you hate black people" or anything
MissMess 12
I'm not going to YDI, but this is a good argument to not rush into marriage before you PROPERLY know someone. What sort of relationship must you have that you didn't know your wife was racist??
txgirl2013 14
I can see spiders cause they're ******* scary but the color of someone's skin? Not cool.
happle 21
I used to hate black people too. But I was 4.
MrPlopper 9
When I was 4 I thought Mexicans were also black
blaackandprouud 20
I think racism and discrimination in general is really just stupid. I just don't see why you would hate some people because they're skin is darker/lighter than yours. You're still equal. No race is better than another.

#13 - When I was 4 I never really noticed a difference, when I get older that's when stupid prejudices become more pronounced and noticeable.

13- Did you have racist parents or grandparents? That sort of thing happens often. Kids follow what they see (or hear), especially when they are very young! I've had friends of many races even from a young age. Thank God my grandparents shut their mouths around me when I was young! The color of someone's skin doesn't make any of us less human. Shame on OP's wife for thinking otherwise.

Your wife has some serious issues.

Totally. What a racist bitch.
xgetxbentx 13
...how did you not know she was racist before you married her?
Cbizzlez 10
It makes sense he didn't know, besides the twin cities there's like 5 black people here

think it's time to get the divorce papers....
jojimugo 20
I don't know why you're getting thumbed down. I would divorce her too bigotry should never tolerated.
eddeeezzyy 19
42's right. I would hate to be married to someone that has hate toward a particular race.
Laurenlou 24
11, 42, and 47- Why shouldn't OP just try to help his wife? Isn't that what you do when you love someone? I mean, really. It's not reasonable. OP should help his wife. Maybe he could show her statistics on how skin color doesn't affect someone's personality. Or maybe he could introduce her to a black friend of his to show her that they are just as human and kind as anyone else. Why would anyone break off a marriage for something that can easily be worked through?

53 - because she's probably beyond saving at this point
eddeeezzyy 19
53, I really haven't thought about that. Gosh, I hate when I jump to conclusions so early. Then again, it's 1AM here and very tired. Please excuse my last comment, everyone.
Laurenlou 24
58- And you know this how? There is not evidence or implication that OP's wife is beyond saving in this FML.

Well, um, at least you can get into the mind of someone with irrational hate?
