Today, I had to suffer through a two-hour long trivia game with my boyfriend's family. As if that wasn't annoying enough, my boyfriend caused the pair of us to lose by just a single point, because he answered "Quebec" to the question of "What is the capital city of France?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was playing Charades with my boyfriend's family. When it was his turn, he pointed at me. His mother said "Bitch?" The answer was "relationship". FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend at chess, whilst also doing my homework and cooking dinner, and he got upset about it. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went mini golfing with his family. We had a competition going on, and when I managed to get two consecutive holes in one, he started seething and muttered that I'm dangerously close to becoming single. FML
Today, my boyfriend was talking to me on the land line when his cell phone rang. He told me to wait "two seconds" while he talked to a classmate. Their "two second" conversation lasted ten minutes, and now I can hear the French Open on the TV in background. He forgot he was talking to me. FML
Today, during a trivia night, I got overly confident after answering three questions correctly in a row. The final question asked for the capital of Australia, and I loudly whispered “Sydney” to my entire team like I was saving us. We lost by one point. FML
Today, my boyfriend beat me and my whole family at Scrabble using only rude words. Seriously, he got a double word on BUTTOCK, a triple letter on the X in SEX then finally got a double word and 50 points for using all his letters by turning the word IS into CLITORIS. FML
Today, I had to play Paper, Rock or Scissors and beat my boyfriend in order to get him to take a shower. FML
Today, I was playing Charades. My boyfriend, who I'd recently had a fight with, had trouble and just said his answer was the name of my celebrity twin. Nobody got it. He said "Really? It's Fat Bastard." Stunned silence followed, broken by a single "HAH." from my 'best friend'. FML
Today, I got selected to participate in a trivia night after trying for ages. First question: "What is the capital city of Australia?" My brain completely stopped functioning and I confidently and incorrectly answered "Sydney." I've spent most of my life knowing the correct answer, but my brain wouldn't let me remember it when it mattered. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after I beat her once again in a trivia game. She said that I was cheating, and if I was cheating on the game, I was definitely cheating on her as well. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Nothing like a good trivia loss to ruin your entire day and week and lifetime and also your next reincarnation.

Lol give him a break, family game nights are supposed to be fun and silly.. You should be happy that he loves you enough to include you.

Be that as it may, the fact that he believes France's capital is Quebec is cause for alarm.

Everyone knows France's capital is named Europe.(Sarcasm)

Bro France's capital is French Toast. That's all the frenchies are good for, and the Eiffel Tower :P

At least it's not located in the country of Africa...
GTAmax99 12
Well at least Quebec is predominately French, it would have much worse if he said Juarez...

Everybody knows the capital of France is Tokyo. :O

Well done sir!

You kinda sound like a bitch. It seems like you were determined to make this a bad time because it wasn't something you wanted to do, so you're searching for anything to complain about. Maybe your boyfriend doesn't really think Quebec is the capital of France and he just misspoke. Some people get really into games and blurt stuff out. Haven't you ever watched Family Feud before when people's minds go blank and they blurt out things that clearly don't work with the question? Lighten up a little bit and allow yourself to have some fun!

Thanks for pointing this out. I think this FML should have more "You deserve it" votes just for OP whining & choosing to stay miserable over a game.

Yeah, there's pretty much this. It is a game, and everyone has brain fart moments. My boyfriend and I got to know each other playing Family Feud over an SNES emulator on the Internet. He got a sound thrashing from me - still does, at Family Feud, Pictionary - that might be because I'm an illustrator an he can't draw - and anything resembling Trivial Pursuit. He can totally whip my ass at chess, Scrabble, and most card games (I'm terrible at card games, unless they're really simple, I forget the rules). Also, Monopoly, because he knows my favourite strategy is to become the Slum Lord and he goes out of his way to sabotage me. Trivia games can lead to love, as long as you don't take them too seriously.

Are you serious? Why are you over analyzing this? It's pretty sad to think Quebec is the capital of France. Besides there's no telling whether OP posted this here laughing about it and finding it a silly mistake or whether she's a "bitch" like you said

And this guy graduated high school how..?
SerenaSerenadex3 13
Graduating doesn't depend on this fact alone, or else I'm sure way less people would have even a high school diploma.
morgiepuff 14
Who says he graduated? He may not have. At my school, we only have to take a 9-week World Geography course. That's the only geography course required to graduate, and you take it in freshman year. It's highly likely that he graduated and forgot, or just had a brain fart at the time of playing.

Wow, you sound like a Debby Downer. Some optimism wouldn't hurt.

it's trivial.

At least he ain't say "France city"
