Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

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.

I can name most states and their capital cities in the US and I don't even live there. Yet most people in America can't even locate Canada on a map let alone know where it is.

I don't know if I agree with that. I think most (many?) people CAN actually locate Canada on a map, though they may not know the names of all the provinces (I only know Ontario, Toronto, Quebec, and Montreal, from memory)

To be called a moron in this situation... Oh the irony... Plus Google Maps could solve that question really quickly...

The worst part is, op is from Michigan, so I guess that the best friend is as well, and Canada is just across the lakes... (totally loosing faith in humanity here!)

Maybe your friend always kept her map upside down in goelogy class.

What you were trying to say was *geology. However, the class that would have taught her where Canada is would be Geography

Good name... It's the second largest country in the world how can it be missed?

***actually it's the LARGEST...if you think that Russia is first, you're wrong. Something to do with it being a federation or something like that! I was surprised as well!

I am going to point something out and not everyone is going to like it....... They recently did a study of the top education around the world. Out of 74 countries the US was ranked 23 for math and science and 17 for reading. The top 3 countries were South Korea, Finland and Canada. (They interchange with each other and Canada dropped in the math department down to 7) So in all honesty the guy who thinks Canada on located in the Southern Hemisphere was at a disadvantage. Maybe we need to start enforcing the completion of at least high school? (This goes for everywhere in 1st world countries)

You should make a large bet with her if you haven't proven her wrong already, losing a couple hundred bucks should make her value knowledge and research more than narcissistic arrogance.

That's just sad. But I would be happy if Canada split just east of Manitoba. The west would be better off.

*high fives* gotta agree with that! But I wish we were in South America, the weather here has been bad for so long now. :(
