Today, I realized that potato chips are made from potatoes. I'm 26. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I found out what rotten cooked potato both smells and tastes like. FML
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
Cooked
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
Today, I was sent to the hospital for being knocked out with a potato. FML
Today, I accidentally poured milk into my bowl of chips. FML
Today, I tried to open a can with a potato peeler. For a minute I forgot what a can opener looked like. FML
Today, I decided to finally try out the veggie slicer I bought a few months ago to make healthy homemade potato chips. Along with the sliced potatoes, I am now missing about a quarter inch chunk of skin from the side of my hand and quite a bit of blood. At least the chips were good. 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
Old soul
Today, I realized I’ve become an old woman. I have dentures, wear bifocal glasses, have rheumatoid arthritis, carry a stash of candy in my purse, and got excited when I bought a new potato peeler. I’m only 29, but I’m an old woman. 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

It's ok, I didn't know either. I always wondered why they called it potato chips.

aaand your an idiot too...I suppose you thought that chocolate chip cookies were made from pickels?
DropDead77 11
Ohh no, don't join the OP in this idiocy, your making yourself a target as well :o
DropDead77 11

I am half awake feeding my baby at 4 am...excuse me for a typo
DropDead77 11

RinnieRiot 9
13-Lol, it was sarcasm. I thought I made it pretty obvious. I guess not.
DreamRose 5
So what if he doesn't know?
batgirl_babygirl 0
lol thanks dido ....and yes that's why I had a lot of typos ...i did sound pretty dumb I know my bad...it was just my first thought when I read it..sorry I thought you were serious...normally I pick up on sarcasm but like o said it was early lol
batgirl_babygirl 0
I** not "o" ...that might have been where my mistake with "your" went wrong..my phone didn't pick up the "e" I tried to type and I didn't proof read
A7X_LoVeee 10
Okay #30 let's not make excuses now.
batgirl_babygirl 0
it's not an excuse...you try getting up when your body's not ready and breast feeding and typing on a tiny keyboard..let's see how many mistakes you make...oh that's right..you must be peeerfeeect ..doubt it

Did you also know that paper is made from trees?

153 - Every morning when I get up, I either respond to missed texts or come on here for some pre-school enjoyment. You know what works for me? Proofreading. I'm not a total idiot and can spot a mistake I've typed even if I am half asleep. Mind you, sometimes if I use an iPod touch, it will correct something for me and I won't notice until after I post. Then again, I can still reply to my incorrect post and correct it. Doesn't sound too hard, right? That's because it's not. You misspelled 'pickles', 'you're', and you didn't capitalize "And". To me, that's more than one mistake and half of those, even with being on an iPod, should have auto-corrected. That tells me either you misspell those words so often the iPod didn't pick up the mistake. If you were typing on a small keyboard on a laptop, you're still at fault. A laptop's keyboard, small or not, is still bigger than phones or iPods.

Apparently the 'edit' function isn't working at the moment. You misspelled* pickles...etc.
Jrefinne 7
206: I would either take out the "either" or add an "or" clause. In case you didn't notice. =)
5t3ff1k4h 45
I also mentioned, lalalady, that she could have gone back to edit after she CAUGHT the mistake, just like I did. Thank you to the other guy - I did miss that. I was going to add an 'or clause' but lost my train of thought. This is what happens when you try to correct someone; you make the very mistakes you're complaining about (whether you usually make them or not) completely by accident.

Never heard of beef burgers... But hamburgers definitely are made from ham.

hamburgers are made from beef...
Bobissmall 13
That's because you speak a weird form of English 37... On that note i definitively agree that OP wouldn't have a ******* clue that America doesn't = the world, and wouldn't understand what beef burgers are made from.

Hamburgers are seasoned with chuck norris's pubes that's y they're so good
Miss_Michaela 10
England for the win! :P Beef burgers. :)
grosjean 1
I don't really see why there is an American/English discussion here. Hamburgers are called hamburgers because they originated in Hamburg, Germany. Their name became shortened (by pretty much everyone I think) to burger and is now prefixed with beef, cheese, veggie, or whatever else it contains. If no.37 really thinks hamburgers/burgers contain ham s/he is as stupid as OP.
