Nice neighborhood

By Michaelichael - 28/03/2009 20:17 - United States

Today, I was mowing the lawn of my brand new house, located in a very nice neighborhood, when a lady in her nice white cadillac drove up and asked me, in extremely broken Spanish, if I could mow her lawn too. I'm a hispanic guy. FML

You should have said yes and then wrote "**** You" across her lane with the lawn mower.

#16. I actually voted for Obama. #34. By not "racist" I meant that the concept of ethnocentrism is not the same thing as intentional racism. It is innate. I'm not talking about advocating slavery here. I'm just saying, that people act like its a conscious decision to prefer their own kind, and really its not. Black people identify more closely with other black people. I identify more closely with other white people. Does that mean that I don't have non-white friends? Of course not. I'm sure this is normal in all races. To the FML community as a whole: thanks for proving that there is no right to free speech in this country anymore. Being PC is running this nation into the ground.

It may be an old joke #64, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've had a few similar things happen to me. Still kinda messed up.

#63 - Thanks for the link, I'd always thought it was true since I heard Richard Pryor tell the story on the Tonight Show one night. It sounds like he co-opted the story to get a laugh.

i think you shoulda had fun with it. just be like, "what house do you live in?" and you should actually do her yard, and then come over the next day and tell her you are the new neighbor. haha that would be hysssssterical lolol

This is pretty much the oldest urban legend in the book.

That was very arrogant and rude of her to assume. And then to further degrade by assuming you don't speak English. I'm Hispanic but I don't look like it so I'm fortunate enough to not have to deal with such stupidity.

I don't know.... just because it is a joke doesn't mean it isn't possible..... there are billions of people out there and 50% of em are below average intelligence..... You know what the difference between fiction and fact is? Fact has to make sense.
