Today, my boyfriend still won't talk to me, after I caused him the "worst embarrassment" of his life in front of his friends. What did I do wrong? I joined their conversation and ended up confusing the fictional characters of Gollum and Yoda with one another. FML

Today, I had a massive argument with my boyfriend, in which he called me stupid repeatedly. I stomped out of his house and sent a very angry text to my best friend about him. She didn't text back. Then my boyfriend texted, "My girlfriend is so stupid, she can't even text the right number." FML
Today my boyfriend and my best friend had a very lengthy, detailed conversation about Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, of which I know nothing about. Once they stopped, I looked at him and smiled, and he responded with, "Why can't you be more like her?" FML

Today, I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone, when I accidentally let rip a monstrous fart. He swore at me for being a pig, hung up, and has ignored all my subsequent calls. I try not to date idiots, but it's like I have a big old shithead-attracting magnet attached to me or something. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML

Not strong is the force in you, my precious.

Maybe you shouldn't join conversations if you don't know what they're talking about.

WTF is with all the YDIs? Big deal, so OP doesn't know the difference between two fictional characters from two series that suck. Yes, I hate both series. So sue me. OP's boyfriend seriously overreacted. He stopped talking to her because she got two stupid characters confused? Sounds to me like she needs a more mature boyfriend.

I know right? They're just fictional characters, who the **** cares that she isn't familiar with them. Maybe she doesn't watch very many movies. It doesn't give him an excuse to be an asshole.

Wow, why all the rage at OP? I love LOTR, but I don't judge people's intelligence by whether they've consumed the same fiction as I have or absorbed it through cultural osmosis. The boyfriend is overreacting. A reasonable person would laugh it off.

I'm surprised everyone is being such a-holes in the comments. She wanted to join her boyfriend's conversation and it is pretty bad she didn't know the difference, but that's no reason to get on her ass about it.

I could understand if it was confusion between two sci-fi characters but come on... wrong genre and everything :p But yeah he's being a dick. Ridiculous that he'd judge you based on your knowledge of pop culture.

150, I believe the same thing. That'swhy I interject myself into the never ending stream of cell phone conversations in public. There is no privacy in public, and I'm pretty sure I have a right to converse with them, right?

Regardless of whether or not you follow Lord of the Rings, you should always remember who Yoda is

Offer to have a movie marathon with him to make it up: watch all three LOTR films and all six star wars films. He'll probably be happy to watch them with you and you'll never mix up the characters ever again :)
