Today, I heard a teenage boy ask his friend, "So, is it, like, November in Australia too?" This is the future of America. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me when I was going to shave my arms now that summer is coming in Australia. FML
Today, the boy I have crush on at school announced that his family were moving to Australia. My friend thought that it would be funny to spread a rumour that I was moving too, in order to follow him. Everyone has heard it, and unfortunately everyone believes it, including him. FML
Today, I live abroad, but I was born in the USA so I'm sick of people asking me who I voted for in the last election, all while looking at me weirdly and suspiciously. FML
Today, a police officer came to talk to the kids at my workplace. He asked what they wanted to hear about first. A group of them shouted, "The donuts, tells us about the donuts." Apparently these idiots are the future of my country. FML
Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML
Today, my son asked me if slavery was ever abolished. He's 19. FML
Today, I heard my ten-year-old brother say, "Are hamburgers a reptile?" FML
Today, I discovered that apparently my six-year-old daughter actually believes that the United States is the only country with advanced technology. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

To answer the teenagers question: No, we have a special month called Kangaroocember, where we all celebrate Australia by finding kangaroos and riding in their pouches. ...OF COURSE it's November in Australia. Just like the rest of the world. >.<

... I can only hope that the boy was trying to refer to the weather difference, and not the actual month, because otherwise this is just another crushing blow to my faith in humanity.

128 - No. Australia is 16 hours ahead, not 6 days.

I should note that that's from my location and not California before someone freaks out for not having precision. But trust me, even from California it is not 6 days ahead.

Well if it had been November 30th, in some places of the world it could be December first. Not that dumb. Also, different countries have different calendar years. It is actually 2005 in Africa right now, they are 7 years behind us... It is not that stupid of a question.

I'm in Africa and I'm pretty sure it's 2012.

I've had my American friends ask me what month it is here. Oh dear.

I am not sure what is worse, this, or when I was at walmart and a group of teens was buying a calling card, the cashier asked if they want an international card or not. Nobody in the group knew what international means.

Calm down, everyone. Most teens aren't that stupid. The ones that actually give a shit are probably smarter or will be smarter than many adults considering high schoolers and middle schoolers are learning stuff their parents learned in college

It seems like America is full of idiots because idiots usually have the loudest mouths. It really sucks when a few dumbasses like that give us a bad image.
