Smart

By Anonymous - 16/03/2011 17:20 - United Kingdom

Today, I went on a date, the first one I've been on since my last boyfriend broke up with me 6 months ago. We were at a restaurant, and at the end of meal he insisted on paying the bill. He wanted to leave a 15% tip but couldn't work out in his head how much to leave. The bill was for £100. FML

That isn't that bad. Atleast he wasn't making you pay :)

be glad someone spent $100 on a first date for you, when it's just a dinner.

Some people just aren't good at math. That doesn't mean he's a bad person. You agreed to a date with him, so clearly he has some good qualities. It sounds like he bought a very nice dinner for a first date. Plus he was leaving a decent tip, which in my book is always a plus. (Providing the service warranted it, of course.) Give the guy a break.

Hahahahaha, are you mad? You probably haven't been to any of the countries in Britain/the UK. We're not all smart.

Proven smarter than most Americans, yes, but you do find stupid Brits as well.

yes that's why the majority of new technology and inventions have come from the US . If you really think we are that stupid, come over here and see and stop watching all that shit that stereotypes us as stupid. You say shit about us, then I will say shit about you. It's a proven fact that Brits are buck tooth, ungrateful ******* that would be speaking German if not for my grandfather.

@Person000 I think you'll find most new tech has come from Japan. Another point if it wasn't for tech from Britain like the telephone, TV ex cetera then there would be no pcs no games consoles and no mobiles.

#326: You're pretty damn ignorant, you know. Philo Farnswoth was USian and Grey, another USian, practically raced Bell (who, while he was born in Edinburgh, had been in the Americas for a nontrivial time before his telephone invention) to the patent office, so it's hard to say that TV & telephone are British to any degree. Even worse, you're also leaving out a man named Alan Turing and the entire Bletchley Park station. The former is essentially the father of computer science and both Turing and Bletchley Park massively helped advance cryptology, in addition to the whole "winning WWII" thing. But, yes, Eastern Asia and Western Europe are pushing the envelop even now on a lot of things. Hell, while Fermilab is ******* impressive, I remind you that CERN (home of the Large Hadron Collider among many, many other things) is European, not USian.

The television is a british invention by John Logie Baird. I stand corrected on the telephone tho.

And I stand corrected about Baird. I did not realise that there had been an electromechanical system before Farnsworth's all-electronic TV. Still, either way, I think we can agree that Turing is a huge point in favour of the British.

A dude took you out for a $100 dinner and all you do is complain about something stupid! There are very smart people in the world that can't do math in their heads! It doesn't mean he's stupid! You are a judge-mental B and probably won't have a date for another 6 months! FML for the poor guy that wasted his time and money on you!

You're complaining? No wonder you've been on your own for 6 months. Enjoy celibacy!

No wonder you've been single for the past six months. A guy spends $100 on a meal and you insult his math skills.
