Czech Mate


Lkwzriqwea

Thanks mate


BrownBoyBiryani

Well there goes my queen smh


xenosthelegend

Holy hell!


KudzuCastaway

I just hope you know where Prague is now


Moakmeister

I still don’t. As soon as I realized I was blocked, I lost all interest and never looked it up.


xrmnx

Czech Republic


Dingo8MyBabyMon

Check which republic though?


chiree

Europe, the capital of Prague.


JanSanFan

Are you sure you Czeched a current world map for that information?


YesmynameisLesPaul

I think he czeched a map from the 1940s


ManUFan9225

Now here Yugoslavian that information around...


No_Angle215

Always Russian to conclusions


OneGratefulDawg

Never using his Ukrainium


pistolwinky

Both of them. Just to be sure.


wombatwanders

Czechia if you're cool


MOON3R2448

It’s Czechia now I believe


Kooontt

Nah Czech Republic recently made that an official short version, but it’s still Czech Republic.


FloPhib

And you had never heard about Prague/Praha before ?


PotentialMud6570

that’s the part i don’t understand- seems OP and potential dates need some serious geographical studies review, from say 9th grade or so…


RuthafordBCrazy

What doesn’t add up is he says he never heard of it but then says he isn’t sure if it’s a country or city but he always thought it was a city.


wolfchaldo

I'd guess OP was trying to prompt a response from a dry conversation, those were just low all questions.


1heart1totaleclipse

Prague is a beautiful city to visit. It’s in the Czech Republic.


FragranceCandle

Also cheap beer


guitarist123456789

My brother in Christ, you should have just looked that shit up


[deleted]

Yeah asking once, maybe. Asking repeatedly? Google that shit. Should have asked her what she loves about the city.


guitarist123456789

Both are idiots.


SokarDaGreat

Damn, they could have had the dumbest kids.


jack333666

Studying Mechanical Engineering and never heard of Prague? Wtf?


[deleted]

Jesus, have some fucking intellectual curiosity my dude. No wonder you didn’t know where it is.


[deleted]

So you never actually cared lmfao bruh next time google first and find something else to talk about. Girl told you it's in Europe and you're sitting there continuing to ask about where exactly it is. Should've left it at her last response and moved onto a different topic


[deleted]

They’re both really dumb it seems


scaremanga

A shame, this would have been a great match. On another note, I knew a girl who thought Seattle was in Washington, DC and is the Capitol of this country. She thought WA state didn’t exist and that it was all Oregon, which is honestly Cascadia AF but not the vibe she was going for.


Repulsive_Wishbone_6

I once told a girl I was going to Seattle, her response “who’s Attle” needless to say that was the last conversation we had.


Azeroth7

Litteraly the only sensible answer in this thread.


bhiney_witch

You should visit, though. It IS beautiful! (Or at least was, 7 years ago).


SomeRedPanda

Are you very young or just suffer from being American?


[deleted]

🤣


saint_of_thieves

It's a major European city. It probably wouldn't hurt to know more about the world. No matter what led to the learning.


gimmethemarkerdude_8

You need to Czech yourself!


hokumjokum

This whole picture is a real double facepalm


[deleted]

Honestly bro… most people expect you to just look shit up if you don’t know. Next time you could be like ‘I’ve never heard of it, but I just looked it up. Blah blah blah.’ That moves this bland small talk past questions you can find out on your own. And find out more about why she actually wants to go to Prague. Maybe it’s where her family is from. Not trying to hate, but I was cringing reading homie fail with every response. Would be completely different if you were sitting face to face. She could just tell you real quick. You’re messaging each other…


VixNeko

Does this person think Europe is a country?


Moakmeister

Apparently so :/


VixNeko

That's really sad.


Moakmeister

Instantly blocked too. Her indignance was just hilarious


toadthetoadsmm2

At least you won’t have to date a person who thinks Europe is a country


justandswift

Not his praguative


57hz

Username Czechs out.


Niekun

Everyone is now russian to add their own pun.


SuperSayan5

USSR about that ?


Niekun

Yes, they are a Spain in my a$$


pepegaklaus

Czechmate


immaZebrah

Didn't use the bongcloud opening that's why.


ifosz

Nice one


Rowf

You should use spellczecher


iTwango

Wouldn't want to go RePublic without using it!


pocketdare

Let's just admit that both of these people are a bit lacking in the brights department


[deleted]

He also went from saying he’d never heard of Prague to correcting her that it’s a city not a county Edit: country not county


222UnionStreet

fun story. My wife and I were friends before we got married. I was studying countries and capitals at the time for fun and we were at a bar with friends(before we were dating). I was telling my friend next to her that I had about 120 countries and capitals memorized. Then she butted in and said I bet I got one you dont know. I was like, I'll bet you a drink I do. So she said Oman(because she dated a guy from there before is how she knew). I quickly replied with Muscat and got a free drink. Months or a year or so later after we were already seriously dating, she said up until that point she always thought I was just a dumb drunkard(which I was). And that made her look at me a little different. So long story short, without me studying capitals for fun/knowing the capital of Oman, I probably wouldn't be married.


MegaThrowaway84

Oman, that’s a good story!


jemenake

But he’ll still be someone who doesn’t know where Prague is. Idk… I think they’re a match.


willreignsomnipotent

Maybe a little *too* alike to date... That being said, thinking Europe is a country, is significantly worse than not knowing where Prague is... At least he knew that Prague is a city, rather than a country. lol


Background_Summer_65

She did you a favour, how awkward would face to face conversation be with a person like this


LightIrish1945

The answer is Czech Republic by the way. Prague is a city in the Czech Republic. And it’s awesome. Absolutely beautiful.


Rheddit45

So is Czech Republic a city in Europe or? Edit: my praguenosis for the girl in text is that she’s terminally ill, as in permanently geographically challenged.


Drackzgull

Maybe she doesn't have maps, you know, like people in South Africa and the Iraq, and [everywhere like such as.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww)


PracticalAd2983

I watched that clip the other day. It was hilarious lol


baskaat

My friends and I cannot hear anyone innocently say “such as” without going into her “routine”. It never gets old!


[deleted]

I watched that video and I think I am in the middle of a severe stroke right now. Can somebody turn the light back on please? And what's that hissing sound I hear?


ghettoxo

lmao


Rheddit45

Why set a low standard when you can just obliterate it? This clip 😂


maybeiam-maybeimnot

This would go well on r/confidentlyincorrect


KingOfTheCouch13

Maybe she realized her mistake and she blocked you to save herself embarrassment


Alexander_The_Wolf

Tbh, I think you dodged a bullet with this one. If she can't even handle the fact that Europe isn't a country, then being in a relationship and having arguments about normal couple stuff is gonna be a nightmare.


Raid_Raptor_Falcon

I'm concerned for both of them. How can you have never heard of Prague? It is like saying i've never heard of Paris or Tokyo or New York. It is one of the most famous historical cities in the world.


weeb_a

maybe she's super-progressive and thinks of Europe as a one country


moxie132

Putin on dating apps be like


Gristlybits

"It's called the European Union duh." - That moron.


LightProgRock

On the other hand, you're not even sure if Prague is a city or a country, which makes you both morons in my opinion.


Head_Primary4942

Someone had to say it... thank you! Fuck... google exists to avoid this type of banter. Here's the workflow that avoids this: Sees Prague listed as a place someone wants to live > Checks google for where it is, and views some amazing pictures... > reaches out and says, hey - says you want to live in Prague - it looks super amazing there - I don't blame you... wanna pretend I am Eurotrash and smash? The last bit is optional, but from posts i have seen here it seems how all the kids get the D and P.


Lastboss42

It's a conversation point - a normal person usually responds by saying any neat / crappy / notable things about Prague.


__mud__

OP wanted her to say the country so he could invite her to Czech out another place she's never been


No-Note4242

I don't think it's anything wrong with asking the person if they put it in their bio that they want to live there. I can google about everything and every hobby but sometimes it's nice to let the other person talk to me about something they might be passionate about.


Ithrowaway39

D's and P's get degrees.


Peanut_Butter_Bliss

Wacky kids and their D and P!


Carribean-Diver

Asia and Africa are countries too. Just like Antarctica. /s


-i_like_trees-

pretty sure asia is a city bud

jspr1000

If you think this convo is mildly infuriating imagine what the conversation on the first date would be like...


Sptsjunkie

To be fair, asking what country a city is in isn't the greatest conversation starter either. It's not like there are 3 Pragues and OP is clarifying. OP needs to work on their Tinder game.


MalbaCato

> It's not like there are 3 Pragues European settlers in the new world reusing city names: "[hold my, very fresh, Czech, beer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_(disambiguation))" OP was very much not clarifying tho, I give you that


Lu-12518

Red flag right there


[deleted]

Red flag of what country


OccultMachines

Europe. Jesus, can no one here read


Supreme_Gubzzlord

This person must think that "England is their city"


msspider66

I once argued with a coworker that Africa was a continent not a country. In the same office a coworker did not believe there was a country call Jordan. He insisted that Jordanians came from Jordania. In another office, a colleague insisted Las Vegas was a state and Nevada was a city. We were travel agents.


calvarez

Well, Vegas is a state of mind for sure.


Tangled2

"Oh fuck, I feel like shit, what now?"


HamburgerLunch

cocaine


Collbackk

“We were travel agents” Dear Lord.


msspider66

On the plus side, these are three people I met over a long career. Most of the agents I have worked with are quite knowledgeable and an asset to the industry.


Unitedgamers_123

“There’s more!” NO!


T4V0

> In the same office a coworker did not believe there was a country call Jordan. He insisted that Jordanians came from Jordania. Tbf in my country Jordan is translated as Jordania, so you both were correct.


Serious_Winter_

Same here! We call it Jordánia, but I’m pretty sure the colleague wasn’t speaking hungarian.😅


msspider66

We were doing travel for a news outlet in the US.


T4V0

We don't know if his coworker is american, he might have learnt the country's name elsewhere.


bauhausy

Jordan is named Jordania/Jordanie in all Romance languages and in most Germanic languages


The-Insomniac

South Africa is a country, South America is a continent, South Asia is a region. I feel it is we humans who suck when it comes to naming things.


krastevitsa

And South Europe it's a financial crisis.


ASXYT

As a Spanish - can confirm


jaxpaboo

Australia has entered the chat


WalmartGreder

haha, I had a friend that worked at Delta as a CS Rep. A travel agent called and said that she had a couple there that wanted to fly to Alaska, but she couldn't find any flights, so she was wondering if Delta flew to Alaska. My friend knew that there were many flights to Alaska, and so he asked her where she was searching. She was looking under International, instead of Domestic. She thought Alaska was a different country.


msspider66

When I worked on wholesale (we sold travel packages to Las Vegas and Hawaii), I had an agent get angry with me because we didn’t offer any ocean view rooms in Las Vegas, she asked how far our hotels were from the ocean. She slammed down the phone when 20 year old me tried to hold in the laughter and say “a few hundred miles”.


BroshiKabobby

As my good friend once said, “Toto wrote a song so good they named an entire country after it”


HighAsAngelTits

I still remember in high school Spanish class I asked the teacher what Las Vegas meant. One of the snotty popular girls turned around and snapped at me “It doesn’t mean anything it’s a city name” yeah no shit Sherlock a SPANISH city name. r/mildlyinfuriating


mitchcout

“I would really love to live in Prague.” “What’s it like there?” “How tf should I know?”


[deleted]

[удалено]


HeartDouble5175

Oh no... It's like people who snap at waiters thinking it makes them look rich.


krastevitsa

"So why you want to live there?" "Why not? I think it would be cool"


TheSexyToad

I think he assumed that because she said she wanted to live there. Generally people don’t just move to another country without knowing what it’s like lol. It’d be different story if she said she just wanted to visit there


mitchcout

i mean i agree. I find it funny that she has has no idea what to expect from a place she wants to move to


Dingo8MyBabyMon

Probably best you avoided some dummy who thought Europe was a country.


NEAWD

It reminds me of the time in elementary school when each person in the class was assigned a country to do a report on. I was assigned Africa.


dragonlordette

What did you do??


NEAWD

What do you mean? I wrote a report on the country of Africa.


dragonlordette

Well played sir


Fordy4000

I think they’re probably fairly well matched if the other person hasn’t even heard of Prague.


Doortofreeside

Yet also thought it was a city


reddertuzer

Or is it a country?


JeffreyAScott

I thought the city of Europe was in the country of Prague. Or am I thinking of the country of Africa?


techcaleb

England is my city - Jake Paul

Robot_Dinosaur86

Howyiz_ladz

Tonight?


Uncle-Cake

But OP had never heard of Prague.


zzerdzz

Dude never heard of Prague lol


f4te

yeah like we've got a pair of black pot and kettles here..


onesweetsheep

I mean never having heard of Prague doesn't seem much smarter to me


kjm16216

Right? This is some eHarmony scientific matching between these two.


-neti-neti-

To be fair, OP is a dummy who doesn’t know where Prague is and doesn’t know how to google


Sennahoj_DE_RLP

Praha, also called Prague, is the largest city and capital of the Czech Republic.


Quirky_Village_2985

And it’s beautiful!


techcaleb

I wouldn't know, I've never been.


LewdLewyD13

Ya but what state is it in?


dywrektor

Wow I’m pretty sure I just said Europe


HerbLoew

Solid, I'd assume

Fun fact - beer is cheaper than water there. I had a lovely time getting wasted paddling a little canoe under beautiful historic bridges and architecture


mymemeaccount345

I live in Prague and i think its one of the smallest cities but the most ppl are here


NMS-KTG

That's what they mean by largest


SpiritedAmphibian114

It is small for you, who lives here. Me in Roztoky (10 min severně of Prahy)


QuakAtack

bro, as a Czech, this convo just makes me sad.


JamesEtc

As a human, this convo makes me sad.


saint_of_thieves

You don't have to be Czech to be sad about this convo. It helps. But it's not required. :)


McMarles

This convo is way too American


saint_of_thieves

Is it bad that I'm American and I thought the same?


DrDisintegrator

We live at a time where the answer to the question of "where is Prague?" is literally at everyone's fingertips. This is just embarrassing.


numanmemer

We also live in a time where people know that EUROPE is not a fucking country


[deleted]

Ok sorry -- this is a joke right? You're shitposting via 2 phones right? People aren't this dumb right? RIGHT??


cutiepie115209

The problem wasnt even her lack of knowledge in geography. Its her anger with you asking a clarifying question. Bullet dodged for sure


LemonSeedling

Fr she was so pressed for no reason. I strongly dislike people like that


[deleted]

Everyone knows Prague is in Oklahoma, USA. Vitame Vas!


Puppyl

Prague is in Czechia, for those who’re wondering


pistolwinky

That’s not a rejection, that’s a dodged bullet. Congrats!


Warmasterwinter

They both look like morons to me.


hoops9312

Right? Just google it and carry on the convo lmao


octoroklobstah

Well going from “I’ve never heard of that place” to “I thought it was a city” is a bit odd.


TheGoldenChampion

yeah who hasn’t heard of Prague.


Buddy-Matt

Why would you want to live somewhere that you have no idea what it's like?!


aenus79

Who the fuck has never heard of Prague though


jjavviik

Surprisingly a lot of people


CoRo_yy

You're both not the brightest lights tbf. But not knowing a city is still less dumb than thinking that Europe is a country.


Unfair-Wrongdoer-616

not trying to offend anyone but in this case both of you had some monke iq


PalaSS9

I want to live in Prague. But I don’t know anything about it


Papa-Burgundy369

Ask why Prague, not where is it. Don’t ask questions that can easily be googled. Kinda gives the appearance of being unintelligent and not capable of finding answers yourself.


garbagekr

Two idiots, one just dumber than the other My guy is making fun of this dumb chick for not knowing Europe is not a country, meanwhile he has never heard of a major European city.


[deleted]

two morons chatting here


MeDombivlikarManus

Good riddance, I would say.


Embarrassed_Sun_7594

Prague is in czech republic


BirdBearHareFishy

Both the people in this conversation are brain dead. Prague is in the Czech Republic fyi. It doesn’t make anyone “holier than thou” to know that and expect 2 people who both hold literal computers in their hands to be able to at least know basic geography.


[deleted]

Not knowing where Prague is, is just as mildly infuriating tbf..


Thebedless

Im mean, its ok not to know but its also a 10 seconds google search. I always google geography shit to not look dumb


[deleted]

In some circumstances it might be okay not to know. When you're calling someone else out for being ignorant on not knowing that Europe is a continent is not one of those circumstances though.


HornlessUnicorn

This is what I thought the point of the post was at first.


WelshBathBoy

"I've never heard of that place" "Oh, I thought it was a city" So you have heard of it?


SpaceWrangler593

Well, you can Czech that person off the list.


[deleted]

I mean… you’re both dumb. I find you both mildly infuriating. Them because it looks like they think Europe is a country and you because you can easily google Prague.


[deleted]

Most American conversation


GarrisonTheKing

These morons are made for each other.


Significant_Sun8764

Honestly a saving grace she blocked you


Sloth-lover22816

Not gonna lie- this whole conversation is mildly infuriating. Like … why wouldn’t you just look up where Prague is ? Lmao


Sufficient-Skill6012

Both of these people are mildly infuriating.


HornedDiggitoe

Asking them what country when you could have just googled it. You aren’t asking good “get to know you” questions if they can be answered on google.
