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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that potato chips are made from potatoes. I'm 26. FML
Today, I was sent to the hospital for being knocked out with a potato. 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
Today, I found out what rotten cooked potato both smells and tastes like. FML
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

I wonder. if someone from the south marries someone from Montana would their children be accused of dating their cousin's sheep.

I feel ya, but Idaho is a great place to live. I wouldn't trade it for anywhere. I haven't ever seen a potato farm either.

At least you don't have to live with the stereotype of being a trigger happy redneck that dates their cousins. Every state has their stereotypes

Anytime someone tells me they are from Idaho, I just say Idapimp.

I've been through idaho a few times. I've seen 5 or so potato farms. I'm from the east coast.

East Coast people have no idea what happens over here op, you'll be fine.

I met folks on the east coast who told me California wasn't geographically or culturally diverse, then added that they should solve the drought by getting water from Arizona. When they found out I was from Texas, they were floored - where's my accent? Where's my gun? Where's my hat? (I know two people who own a gun, one person with an accent, and no one who wears hats.) In short, don't take it too hard. They're in love with themselves and don't know what the hell they're talking about.

And yet, very, very few people actually know that Idaho is nicknamed the the gem state. Even growing up there, people seemed to only know it for potatoes. On a side note, I've seen numerous potato farms and even worked on them. I assume OP is from western ID, near Boise where there aren't many farms.
