Annoying and Kids: Scheißleben

Scheißleben

By LearnGeographyUSA - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Kirkland

Today, and for the past 13 months, I've been living in the States. I've been called a Nazi, asked if we have electricity in Germany, and been made fun of the way I speak with my "German accent", the list goes on. I'm not even German, I'm Danish. FML

Today, I started a new school, after moving from England to New York. People only talked to me just to hear my accent. FML

Today, I came across a tourist in the street asking people for directions, but nobody understood him. I speak English, so I went to help the gentleman out. He said "Knock it off with the cheesy accent, pal" and informed me that my country is a shithole. FML

Today, a kid from my school called me, saying he's going on vacation to Japan soon and that since I was born there, I could teach him the language. His exact words at the start of the call were, "Hey man, you speak Asian, right?" I have to be around this shithead 5 days a week. FML

Today, I found out that two kids were able to, without much effort, convince my 16-year-old daughter that her friend's house was used to smuggle out Jews during WWII. His house was built in 2007. We also live in America. FML

Today, a neo-Nazi stopped me and commented on my blue eyes and blonde hair. He went on to explain that I could be "pure", and should follow him and other Aryans in the campaign to eliminate Jews, and other "abominations". Good thing he didn't see the Star of David necklace around my neck. FML

Today, the first words I heard from my "good, Christian" future mother-in-law included a salvo of curse words and a hushed rant about "them dirty Jews". I'm culturally Jewish. This bodes well. FML

Today, after I was gentrified out of my rent-controlled San Francisco apartment on June 1st by speculators, which I could only afford because of the rent control, I haven’t been able to find a new place yet. I've been living in hotels off a small settlement, but money ran out last week so now I’m on the streets. FML

Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML

Today, I found out that my paper about World War 2 has led my teacher to believe that I hate Jews. I wrote my paper about the technological advances made during the war, and made no mention of Jews. She and I are both Jewish. FML

Today, while going on a jog through the countryside, I discovered that it is actually possible outside of crappy TV shows to have a rifle leveled at you, and to be shouted at to, "Get off my land." FML

Laugh at their ignorance. Or agree with their Nazi joke and let them know they could be next.

On behalf of Americans everywhere, sincere apologies.

Don't apologize for ME. While I've been abroad, people have been rude to me because I'm American, even though I break all the awful stereotypes. I am neither overweight, stupid, rude, or lazy. Just because the OP met a bunch of idiots doesn't mean you need to say sorry. OP should've handled the situation like an adult and told them it was inappropriate and that he was having none of it. You should stick up for your country... not the idiots who live in it.

My friend did tell me a story of her father's trip to England. They wouldn't let him order coffee unless he did it in spanish.

The downfall of the U.S is the lack of compassion towards each other not the economy.

When I moved to the states from Bolivia so many people told me to go back to South Africa... Ignorance.

Holy crap, people. I didn't realize it was "bash America" day. Denmark: a peninsula in between Germany and Sweden/Norway. Copenhagen is the largest city. They have an insane tax rate and claim to be the happiest people on earth even though they are their government's b*tch. Yep. All without looking at a map or encyclopedia. USA! USA! USA!
