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 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

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

the ratio of FYL to YDI sais it all.

I have not even seen Star Wars or Lord Of The Rings (no hate please) and I know the main diffrences between those two. But with the OP she might have known who they were and the diffrences, and it was a case of mixing up the names.

Just like what 75 said, if he is gonna just completely ignore you and desert you beacuse you mixed up somthing, he has a problem and is overreacting. He should just lecture you about the movies and you two watch them insted of acting like a 1st grader about it. YDI for not knowing the simple diffrence between Gollum and Yoda, but FYL for not having a more mature boyfriend.

I do not get why I am getting thumbed down, I suggested that he should watch the movies with her to lecture her. Do you guys really think its better to ignore her and cry over it insted?

Maybe it's the "lecture" part.

He may be overreacting a bit here. What he should be doing is sitting you down to watch both series to cure this ailment you're clearly suffering from.

Okay, odd, but I get why. But what were they talking about, Star Wars or Lord of The Rings?

Of course not! They were talking about unicorns. ...How did you not get that?

YDI for trying to pretend to be smarter than you are. Just admit you don't know, and protect yourself from looking like an idiot.

I would have attempted a force choke.

At first, I was surprised by the staggering number of you-deserve-its, and then I remembered, oh yeah, this is the internet...

What rock are you living under where you don't know the difference between Yoda and Gollum? I would be embarrassed too. YDI
