Just because she didn't know one piece of information doesn't mean she's stupid. And she was aware she didn't know where Detroit is and asked you, thus learning something. If that's how she approaches the class it makes sense she would score high.

YDI for not having a ******.

just because she asked what state detroit was in doesn't mean she's not smart, it could have just slipped her mind, or she might have immediately felt dumb afterwards when she realized. It's really judgemental of you to think just cuz she's blonde and asked one thing that seemed stupid that you're soo much smarter than her.

OP, so you're saying that you've never had a momentary lapse in memory when you couldn't remember a specific word or a little fact like which state Detroit is in? Really, get over yourself. You have no idea how hard that girl studied and tried on that exam. And unless you talk to her, you have no idea how smart she really is. As a woman and blonde marine biology major, I get really ticked off at the stereotypes. "I'm a very attractive young woman, and so there's no way I can no the difference between a dolphin and a fish. I'm blonde, so there's no way I'd even be able to tell the ocean from the sky. And my favorite, I am a woman, so that means that I only want to get my degree so that I can go play with dolphins as Sea World." Never mind that I graduated from high school with honors, had the third highest GPA in my class, want nothing more than to go jump in the water and study a tiger shark, am only a junior but taking grad seminars, and started working hands-on with stingrays before I even graduated high school. Nope. I'm just a ditz who has to suck off her wrinkly, old professors and the occasional TA, so that I can play with little ******* dolphins. And just because I can tell you what ampullae of Lorenzini are, or explain what is so cool about embryophagy, doesn't mean that I might not momentarily forget which species of fish prefer breathing air over water. Things happen. Quit being a douche.

seriously? that's your FML? I don't know what state detroit is in, neither did my friend next to me. It's not something that's common knowledge, like the capital of the US. If she'd asked something like that I could understand what you're saying. Or if you guys are in Detroit or something. But so far this is an FML fail

I don't know what her blond hair has to do with anything. =_=

A computer nerd asked me which way North was. I knew, but he still knows more about computers than I do.

If that was the only stupid question she asked you all semester, then I fail to see the relevance. I mean, it has nothing to do with the class subject really, she might have just been tired/preoccupied when she asked, or she might just not have known where it was. Lots of people ask silly questions sometimes, doesn't mean they're stupid. And, did it ever occur to you that she studied hard as well? And it shouldn't matter what she got, your score is still good. I'm really not sure why this is a bad thing.

Agreed. I live in California and I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you which state Detroit was in without thinking about it for a while. It's one of those ones over on the other side of the country. I dunno. It's not like this was some kind of AP geography class where she would have been expected to have learned that information already. She probably just couldn't immediately think of it and asked you for help! That makes her an idiot?

I'm Canadian and I know what state Detroit is in. Comeon people, bash to OP all you want but anybody who knows anything about geography, ESPECIALLY of their own country, knows where Detroit is.
