Today, I was called a "Potato" for at least the 30th time by people online for living in Idaho. I've lived here my whole life, I have yet to see a potato farm. None of these people has even left the East Coast. FML

Today, my husband argued with me for an hour, because he believed that loaded potato skins grow naturally on a tree. FML

Today, I tried to make mashed potatoes but then went into another room to wait on them, then forgot about them, ruining my only big pot and a full bag of potatoes. FML

Adulting is tough

Today, in last ditch attempt to be an adult, I trotted out to do my grocery shopping for the week. As I confidently strode through the produce aisle, I grabbed what I thought was a nice, ripe mango. At checkout, the cashier kindly informed me it was in fact a massive potato. FML

Today, I over-boiled some potatoes. I was having a bad day and this tipped me over the edge. I burst into tears and threw the potatoes all over my kitchen. I then stomped on the piping hot potatoes. The bottoms of my feet are blistered and still feel like they’re burning. FML

Today, I'm so broke that I had a money nightmare. I'd accidentally purchased a single potato for exactly $22 and it was non-refundable. FML

Grateful much?

Today, my mom yelled at me for taking too long at a job interview, and that it was a waste of her time to drive me to it. I just quit my job, moved away from my boyfriend and the coast to help take care of her in Idaho. FML

Prejudice

Today, I was hanging out with a friend out of state. He had some friends with him and we were all having a great time, until they found out I live in Utah. They instantly assumed I was Mormon and started to act weird around me. This is a frequent occurrence. FML

Don't worry OP, I'm sure you'd be a sweet potato. All corniness aside, don't take it too seriously, those people are living in ignorance.

as someone that lives in idaho and consistently plays online games, can confirm. but it's not bad enough for a FML. the usual "u-da-ho" comment is though

1. Look up 'Latvian jokes potato' on google. 2. Feel relieved you're from Idaho and not Latvia. Cheers!

Dude. They're freaking everywhere. I live in Idaho and can't swing a dead cat without it landing square in the middle of a potato field.

people always chuck others in categories according to where they live. People assume because I'm English, that I sound like something from Downton Abbey. And those from England think that because I'm from the north, that I sound stupid due to our dead pan accent. It's time we stopped tarring everyone with the same brush!
