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, my boyfriend called me over for dinner. When I walked in the door, he asked why I was here; apparently he dialed the wrong girlfriend. 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, my boyfriend and I got into a huge fight. What was it over? He accused me of pronouncing MY name wrong. 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.

If I was his friend, I would bloody well care. One is an adorable wise old Jedi, the other is a hobbit like creature that has slowly had his mind poisoned over 500 years by the most powerful object in Middle Earth.

His Precious, you are not. Seriously, how do you not know the difference between Gollum and Yoda? Not even close. YDI

#71 its not like everybody is gonna know. I only know Gollum kinda because a reading course I was forced to take. If not for that, I'd not know. It's not like its a common sense thing without knowing them

I'm actually not kidding....seriously don't know who they are

For the love of God. Don't tell the FML community that! They will track you down! Sleep with one eye open tonight, just incase. ;)

I'm horribly upset after reading these comments. HOW have you NEVER heard of either? And how is it NOT common knowledge??? I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't know Gollum and Yoda. :/ You're missing out on the real epicness of life.

You forgot, one is way faster than the other. Hard to move quickly when you're 2 ft tall and have a cane.

OP is lucky he didn't dump her on the spot..

What... Have you not seen Yoda when he fights? He's like a spinning ball of fury. Example of when he fights Count Dooku, while trying to save Obi-Wan and Anakin in Genosa

I may get severely thumbed down for this, but I feel like I have to write this. That is definitely an overreaction, and not a good one at that. It is embarrassing and yes, OP shouldn't have started talking about something she knows squat about, but when a girl shows interest in something and gets a fact wrong, what is the correct reaction: A- Freak out and never talk to her ever again or B- Teach her about it and convert her. Hmm. Just speaking from personal experience, my boyfriend taught me so much about classic rock bands and rock n roll history (it's more extensive than you might think!), and I taught him to love video games and I've even started showing him anime. I've gotten things wrong (mixed up Paul and George a few times) and so has he with video game/Harry Potter/etc. things, and we've just corrected each other and learned. I can honestly say he now knows more about DC and Marvel than I do! So the point is that one should not be shunned if they make a little mistake like that, especially when showing interest. Just teach them. It benefits them, and it benefits you :)

At least Paul and George are in the same band. Mixing up Yoda and Gollum is like confusing Paul with Jimi Hendrix.

What a tool your bf is. So what if you confused them. Secretly give him laxatives so he ***** himself in front of his friends. Then he will know true embarrassment.

If she was expecting sympathy...I'm not giving it to her. I grew up watching the old Star Wars and the cartoon lord of the rings. I was appalled reading this.

Sorry that's worse than my wife mixing up star wars and star trek and calling chewie the big monkey
