Today, during a lecture, my teacher jokingly talked about the time he was best buds with George Washington. Another student then asked, "Really? You knew him?" I'm in an advanced placement U.S. history class. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, during class our teacher asked us, "Who is Uncle Sam?" A girl answered, "He's the guy who founded KFC, right?" I'm in an AP class and have to put up with these morons constantly. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML
Today, at my art school, during the class my teacher left the classroom. I stood up from my seat to ask my friend something. When I sat back down, one of my guy classmates was sitting there. I sat on his lap and right at that moment my teacher came back. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML
Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML
Today, a classmate found out I have a boyfriend. He said, "Really? YOU??" FML
Today, my teacher began to explain Veterans' Day and why it's on 11/11 to a new student from Iran. He said he already knew, but this was news to almost everyone else in the class. FML
Today, I got an e-mail from my seminar tutor asking why I wasn't in class. I was sitting next to him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ah, George, that old rascal. I remember when he took his buddies out for a midnight row across the river to throw a surprise Christmas party. Good times...good times.

US History? Do you really need a class for a period so small? You could probably get through it all in an afternoon.

America has a lot of history, actually.

Considering the US wasn't even a State 250 years ago, and how much has occurred in the short time that we have been a nation, a semester will barely get through the American Revolution.

There must be a lot you don't know about. Not only do we learn in depth about the colonies, the Revolution takes a lot of time, as well as industrialization and the Gilded Age. Not to mention the Civil War, learning about presidents and problems with Native Americans, famous court cases, all the amendments, foreign affairs through the history and so much more. There's a lot of material to it actually. Try your hand at it.

There are classes based on Revolutionary America, the Civil War, the Holocaust, etc. Granted some are only a semester long, but still...

I could spend half a year talking about the political and social repercussions of the civil war, nothing is so simple that it could be covered in a day.

Hope you don't wake up one day to see that idiot treating you in the ER.

Well, I'm sure you've heard the old joke, "What do you call a medical student who graduates last in the class? A doctor."

I'm guessing that was the kid I ran into at McDonald's last night who couldn't run the cash register. I weep for our country.

Stuff like this is proof positive that knowing raw facts doesn't alone make you intelligent. Most people are capable of learning raw facts if they really want. Some have better memorization skills yes, but most could still do it if they wanted. Either way though, you could clearly know a lot of facts and still be an idiot in other aspects, like this. I see it all the time.
