Today, my father bet me $200 that since my boyfriend is "such a stupid shit," he wouldn't be able to locate Paraguay on a map. I gladly accepted the bet. Not only did he not know where it is, he actually accused us of making the country up. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my mom bet my dad $100 that she could pay my boyfriend ten bucks to break up with me. She is now $90 richer. FML
Today, four days after making a $100 bet with my balding, pedo-stache wearing dad over who could get a girlfriend first, he came home and introduced me to his new girlfriend. FML
Today, my crush won the bet that I made with him yesterday. The bet? That he couldn't land a date by the end of the day. Not only am I down $10, but a possible boyfriend too. FML
Today, I had an argument with my dad about Venice being in Italy, not Spain. He wouldn't believe me, and had to Google it. He's an engineer for an aerospace company. FML
Today, my boyfriend send me a text to inform me that his mother had told him that I was only with him for his money, which he got from his dad's will… even though we were already together at the time. FML
Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML
Today, just to win a bet against my mum that he could make me scream like a bitch, my dad faked his own suicide. He went the whole mile: fake blood everywhere, fake gun, yelling "Goodbye!" and playing a loud gunshot sound effect from his PC, everything. My dad won; my underwear lost. FML
Today, I convinced my father that "Juanito", our relative who needed money for immediate surgery in Mexico was a stranger attempting to scam him. I was $1400 too late. FML
Today, my dad went through all the trouble of sneaking onto my laptop and photoshopping a bong into my Facebook profile picture, apparently just so he could win a €20 bet with my mom, that hinged on her grounding me by December. FML
Today, I made a bet with my classmate that I would dare to play a weird song in front of the professor. I did, and as promised, she was supposed to give me $20, but she said it was just a joke. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

6 some people don't know where it is, doesn't mean you have to call them idiots. It's not like you were born and you already knew the whole map

I'm pretty sure anyone with a decent education knows where it is. At the very least they should know that it exists.

I graduated with straight A's and in the top 10 of my class... I couldn't have told you where it was.. Sorry to say, I guess? Not like knowing where Paraguay is is really going to affect my life.

Some reasons to know Paraguay exists: - It's the only country that was largely colonized by Jesuit missionaries. - It's the only former European colony where white people were once not allowed to marry each other. - On a related note, it's the only country where most people who are not native Americans speak a native American language (Guaraní). - It's the only country that lost the majority of its population in a war. No, not because they lost half of their land, but because most people died.

Because all boyfriends should know where random un-important countries are.

Determining something as complex as intelligence by someone's knowledge of a single subject seems idiotic to me. Is intelligence determined by how many things you know? Is it determined by how you can use knowledge? Is it the ability to logically deduce facts from observations? Here's the definition according to a dictionary: " The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge." From this, I can deduce that intelligence is determined by how efficiently you can acquire and use knowledge. I'd strongly doubt the reasoning of someone who would base someone's intellectual potential on whether he's aware of a single fact. The end. (Of the world, yes)

Doesn't that mean you get $200?

No.

How do you go through schooling and NEVER hear of that country? US education system at it's finest right there!

OP, your boyfriend isn't too bright if he would immediately jump to the conclusion that something doesn't exist just because he's never heard of it. You, however, are not much smarter for betting on him. Surely you must have had some idea of his intelligence (or lack thereof), and there wasn't really a good reason to feel you had to prove your father wrong. Unless, of course, the $200 was that enticing.
