Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that miles are the same distance for everything. He thought that human miles were different than mouse miles, because they're smaller. He's 34. FML

There was a woman on "Canada's Worst Driver" a few years ago who kept asking about miles when Canada's used the metric system since the 1970s. Then, at one point, the contestants had to drive a British car (which was actually a Nissan, but whatever) and she started asking about English miles. Just to clarify, the woman WAS Canadian and had English as a first language. Reading a speedometer shouldn't have been confusing for her.

Well, I'm 95% sure he was trolling you. Also, you can't say he's wrong until you provide a reference to the official definiton of a 'mouse mile'.
