Today, my roommate came out of the bathroom, and asked me how the scales knew her weight in both pounds and kilos, even though "the exchange rate is always changing." I actually live with this idiot. FML

For anyone who is interested, she has taken it with good humour and is still laughing about it. It's one of those electronic scales, so I did briefly get her to believe that due to the GFC, the scales would say she was putting on more pounds than kilos before I came clean with the truth.

Unfortunately for her, there is no exchange rate for her IQ, which probably resembles that of a kiwi. The fruit, not the bird. Not that it makes much of a difference...

She must've been thinking pounds->euros. Still a dumb moment, but at least they sound similar.

#1, while it is kind of you to do so, I'd have to think that God in Heaven has better things to do with His time than help people tolerate ignorant roommates. Maybe not, which is why atheism is getting more popular these days.

Tell her it's just the price of her drugs changing, not the exchange rate.

Darwin's theory of natural selection took a serious validity shot in this FML.

It's also what we call people from New Zealand. Hence why this half of the world say 'kiwifruit'. I was about to bitch you out for offending New Zealanders haha.

I've never heard anyone say "kiwifruit" in any way or notion, just kiwi.

As a whole, people are getting smarter everyday. The average IQ continues to climb. But everything is relative, so even the smartest are smarter too. Which means that "stupid" people will always exist. But it's definitely not true that people are getting dumber.

As long as she pays her half the rent, is not a disgusting pig, and doesn't have creepy habits I see no reason for OP to shell out a ton of money just to get away from the roommate.

Stupidity is pretty much everywhere these days. Even if she moves out, I'm sure it's still right around the corner.

Because when people are too stupid to effectively contribute to society, the government just hands them welfare cheques.

Well first organize a study group, then make a chart of similarities and differences, then analyze it and finally open the discussion for observations and conclusions.

Look on the bright side - if she's really that stupid, you can probably bilk her out of some portion of the rent. Just tell her the exchange rate for men is different for women, so you only owe 40% of the monthly rent instead of 50. It's actually legal in Australia to do this to idiots. Really, I looked it up. No need to thank me.
