Today, after a heated debate with my friend on whether blondes are naturally stupid, I convinced her that I'm actually quite intelligent, and poured myself a glass of juice in victory. After finishing the glass, instead of returning the bottle back to the refrigerator, I put it in the cupboard. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was trying to convince a friend that even though I'm blonde, I'm not the oblivious or stupid moron everyone apparently thinks I am. Then I smacked face-first into a glass door. FML
Today, I poured out a glass of apple juice to drink. I threw out a beer can from earlier, and my mom thought I was drinking alcohol, not juice. She scolded me, until I made her physically taste the juice. FML
Today, I had a few friends over. Wanting to seem cool, I yelled at my girlfriend to get me a beer. She chucked four bottles at my head. All my friends cheered her on. FML
Today, I was trying to convince my boyfriend that I am NOT a dumb blonde. After screaming at the top of my lungs, I tripped over a bin and hit my head on a wall. FML
Today, I was at home, my mom came and saw me holding what she thought was a glass of beer. She took the glass, threw it and slapped me for drinking it. I was drinking Apple Juice. FML
Today, I learned that drunk me from last night is apparently great at flirting. She also apparently flirted her way to a free bottle of white wine, only to shatter it on the kitchen floor at 2 a.m. How did I find out? Three words: glass in foot. FML
Today, some friends and I had a wine tasting evening, and I tried to impress my friends by showing off my extensive knowledge of different wines. I confidently described the subtle "notes of vanilla and oak" in a bottle of wine… only to find out that my "friends" had pranked me, and it was actually grape juice. FML
Today, I had a mumbled conversation with myself in a supermarket aisle about whether or not to buy a bottle of bourbon. Nothing screams "pathetic loser" like an alcoholic in denial having a debate with himself out loud near strangers. FML
Today, after a stressful week, I spent my last few dollars on some comfort food. Later, my roommate's girlfriend came over and helped herself to my juice, drinking it straight from the bottle. I'm such a germaphobe, I can't bring myself to even take a sip. It's a full bottle. FML
Today, I was hanging with my friends when out of the blue, I got thirsty. Friends said there was Gatorade in the fridge. Being the trusting person I am, I took a drink, only to discover it was piss. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

On a serious note, anyone can be stupid, regardless of their hair color.

Are you suggesting that being absent-minded means you're dumb? Maybe you really are dumb.

I hope you are pretty. Pretty, stupid blondes can go quite far in life, but ugly and stupid is a losing combination regardless of hair color.

I'm blonde and I'm one of the smartest people at my school grade-wise... but I'm also really clumsy/absent minded, so I get called a dumb blonde a lot.

everyone has their moments :)

I'm a natural blonde and I'm no where near as stupid as I'm made out to be. I am also the only blonde girl out of my entire class so there are many jokes made about my hair colour. Why are blondes the dumb ones? Why can't it be brunettes or red heads?

It's just the way things have ended up. It probably comes from the 'blonde bimbo' image... This was originally aimed at Katharine, but it still generally fits.

how do you take the comment "everyone has there moments" and take it on a banter about how everyone in school doesn't like you?

Actually, the stereotype began with a blonde Miss America and her total inability to answer simple questions.

Apparently, the stereotyping is as follows: Blondes: dumb/most fun Brunettes: mysterious/intelligent Redheads: bitchy Do I believe any of this is true? Nope. But certain people's personalities match up with their stereotypes often, so I can see why people read the above stereotypes as if it's the law.

I'd thought redheads were feisty and kinky. Damn. Although, I have heard that redheads are harder to sedate and for medical procedures are given a bit extra to help keep them unconscious.

I would get all pedantic here and explain the origin of the dumb blonde stereotype but I don't want to reinforce the geek stereotype. I will just say that, of course, it started before Miss America and even before there was an America. (Hint: Look to the European nobility.)

RBG: I've heard that too. I forgot any other stereotypes as I was typing, so thanks for adding them!

100, the thing is, the stereotypes don't even fit. In fact, they're ass-backwards. The majority of the blondes I know are all good girls who study hard and do well in school. The people who repeatedly fail courses and just do badly in general almost always have brown/black hair.

One thing that I've learned, this is with girls I've met and grown up with, is the girls who bleach their hair blonde are the ones that will tend to be idiots. It's not that they're actually stupid, but when faced with a decision, a common reaction is, "Oh! Hehe, I'm blonde, can't you tell? What do you expect from me?" Where all the natural blondes I've met have been incredibly intelligent. It's all about what you believe you can be. If you think your hair color will affect your thinking, chances are, it will. Replace hair color with gender, race, or anything else, and give limits, there are those that will try to fit that stereotype, no matter how idiotic they may be.

148 - The stereotypes usually hold true from what I've seen, but I realize not everyone follows the stereotype. I know several bitchy and hot-headed redheads, but I also know some extremely nice ones. I'm a brunette and I'm a hot-head. I've seen moronic brunettes that no one cares to pay attention to, and I've also seen intelligent and mysterious brunettes. I've seen extremely intelligent blondes who aren't total *****, but the majority of them from my college and old high school are rather stupid, and slutty. I'm not saying that's the way the majority of blondes anywhere are; I'm just saying IME that's the way they are. I keep hoping that there are more intelligent/non-slutty blondes out there... I swear I'll meet more one day! RBG: Exactly. The intelligent blonde I was referring to has naturally blonde hair. The morons and ***** are usually bottle blondes.

In re the original question of origin: Because if you call a redhead dumb, she'll kick you in the face. :}

Are you serious? Putting JUICE in the wrong placE? That is seriously not about being less intelligent, rather absent minded. And how is it FYL?

'poured myself a glass of juice in victory' That is all.

Very easy mistake to make, I regularly nearly put the milk bottle back in the cupboard with the cereal :D

the fact that you and your friend have to have a serious argument about whether hair color influences intelligence clearly indicates that A. this particular blonde is stupid, and B. that your friend is either just as stupid as you are OR is much smarter and was just ****** with you...either way it doesnt look good for you.
