Today, my best friend called me a moron for disputing her belief that Canada is in South America. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I actually had to explain to two of my friends that neither Alaska nor Nebraska are in Canada. I think I need new friends. FML
Today, my teenage daughter tried to convince me that the UK is a part of Canada. After I pulled out a map to prove her wrong, she got all angry and defensive, and said that nobody's perfect at "geometry". My daughter is an idiot. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, I've been living in Canada for past two years, and my friend from the States came to visit. He was talking about how Canadians are so polite, but I was in total denial, that he didn't know anything. While I was arguing with him, a guy in front of us walked into a pole, then apologized to it. FML
Today, my teacher, who's Irish, called me insensitive and stupid for imitating her accent. I'm Filipino and my parents immigrated to Ireland where I was born, and then we moved to Canada when I was 14. Her response to my explanation? "Bullshit." FML
Today, I had to explain to my grandfather that Canadians aren't evil by reminding him that he's Canadian. FML
Today, my sister called me a moron after I told her that no, healthy foods do not give you "negative calories". She's 21 and goes around telling everyone that she's an expert nutritionist. FML
Today, here in Canada, my father-in-law talked to me about how people who are "not Canadians" are destroying the country. He called me an "import" several times within the course of an hour. I've been a citizen for over twenty years. FML
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, my teacher called me "stupid and ignorant" for referring to myself as Asian. I'm from Pakistan. Pakistan is in Asia. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, at least now you don't have to worry about finding the perfect gift for her next birthday. A nice atlas will do nicely I should think.

Where I'm from in Toronto (not really what one would call a town), they carry glock 18's and some (very few) glock 19's. I swear RCMP's are like in the country, I barely see them, but do see a lot of regular police.

I'm Canadian and I could only WISH Canada was in South Africa. Our winter is horrible, not to mention we're in the middle of June and it's still pretty cold and rainy :(

You mean south america? Some of their weather isnt that great either. Hot and rainy all the time? No thanks!

Depends on the part of Canada you live in. If you're in Alberta, I agree. Normally our Summers are dry and hot. The last couple years its been wet, cold and oddly humid. O.o

I'm in Ontario, and it's just starting to feel like spring--in June. It snowed just over a month ago. Right now, it's pissing rain on and off. I WISH we had that kind of weather right now.

I'm in Alberta too, but hoping for Alberta summers and NSW/generally Aussie winters. Aussie summers are just plain too hot.

Oops sorry guys, I typed Africa thinking America -.- but I'm in Montreal and it's been raining none stop a lot lately! And the temperature is no more than 20C :(

I am in Edmonton and it has been raining for 2 weeks straight. We even had a tornado warning last week even with it being so cold.

My dad is in NS and he said that it pours, and they had hail 2 days ago. The temperature fluctuates wildly! I currently live in southwestern Ontario and it feels like spring, but we still get cold nights where I need an extra blanket! If we've been in South America all this time, I feel seriously gyped!

I'm in Calgary and it's been raining non-stop for practically a month. I just want warmth and sunshine.

Oh really? I thought we were apart of Africa. ;) In all seriousness, why would your friend confuse us for the southern part of the Americas anyways when we are much colder than our southern cousins?

Unfortunately I'm hearing this more and more (and not just on here). I'm not sure what kids in the states are learning in school (or even if they are at all) but obviously something needs to change. I know for a fact that some Americans don't think that Canada is even involved in the Middle East. I mean how stupid can you be?!

Our education system may not be great but it generally does a better job than this. It's just that people talk about the stupid people more than the intelligent people.

If you asked a thousand people in any country, then you would find at least one idiot that didn't know something like what OP discovered their friend didn't know. Idiots are in every nation.
