Today, I was called a "Potato" for at least the 30th time by people online for living in Idaho. I've lived here my whole life, I have yet to see a potato farm. None of these people has even left the East Coast. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I realized that potato chips are made from potatoes. I'm 26. FML
Today, I was sent to the hospital for being knocked out with a potato. FML
Today, my husband argued with me for an hour, because he believed that loaded potato skins grow naturally on a tree. FML
Today, I tried to make mashed potatoes but then went into another room to wait on them, then forgot about them, ruining my only big pot and a full bag of potatoes. FML
Today, I found out what rotten cooked potato both smells and tastes like. FML
Today, in last ditch attempt to be an adult, I trotted out to do my grocery shopping for the week. As I confidently strode through the produce aisle, I grabbed what I thought was a nice, ripe mango. At checkout, the cashier kindly informed me it was in fact a massive potato. FML
Today, I over-boiled some potatoes. I was having a bad day and this tipped me over the edge. I burst into tears and threw the potatoes all over my kitchen. I then stomped on the piping hot potatoes. The bottoms of my feet are blistered and still feel like they’re burning. FML
Today, I'm so broke that I had a money nightmare. I'd accidentally purchased a single potato for exactly $22 and it was non-refundable. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for taking too long at a job interview, and that it was a waste of her time to drive me to it. I just quit my job, moved away from my boyfriend and the coast to help take care of her in Idaho. FML
Today, I was hanging out with a friend out of state. He had some friends with him and we were all having a great time, until they found out I live in Utah. They instantly assumed I was Mormon and started to act weird around me. This is a frequent occurrence. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't worry OP, I'm sure you'd be a sweet potato. All corniness aside, don't take it too seriously, those people are living in ignorance.

I'm from New York and everyone assumes I love Bagels. And I do.

Loving bagels is a New York thing? I thought it was an "everyone with a modicum of common sense" thing.
Spark_Slicker 19
Yeah, by many it's considered a New York thing. Especially New York City.

#30 Bagels are to New York as gambling is to Vegas o.o

I have never had a better bagel in my life than the ones my grandparents used to bring us from NYC. Nine states, four provinces, 2 other countries. NYC bagels win hands down.

I lived in north Idaho (Lewiston) for 9 years. No potatoes there; just cowboys, Indians, lumberjacks, & rednecks. I'm very glad to have moved on & moved out!

That isn't the perfect scenario but it is really worth ******* your life over?

Every state has some sort of stereotypical thing about it. For example... What do you call a Washingtonian? Caffeinated.

Overpaid maybe?

#56, you wouldn't be saying that if you saw the cost of living up here.
derpyshy 16
No kidding #59. I'd have to relocate from Seattle to Spokane if I wanted to live on my own with the wages I currently make.

Is it really worse than being from Maryland, and being known as having crabs?

I've never heard this one before. But I have heard of "Duck Farmers" regarding North Harford and "Heroine High" regarding Fallston High school.
