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.

Most german natives do not have an accent when they speak English. I think the problem is just that America is very america-oriented. For example, Europeans are much more world-oriented. In Belgium (where I'm from), for example 60% of the population is AT LEAST bilingual, if not multilingual. I'd like to see that happen in America.

Not all European countries are bilingual. In Hungary for example, the country I'm currently studying abroad in, less than 1/3 of the country is bilingual. Hungarians have so little interaction with foreigners, that accents of foreign students can confuse them to the degree where they will even refuse service. Also, foreign language programs were actually required in my (US) high school, and there was a huge variety to choose from. Every country has idiots; please don't judge the whole population based on its lowest denominator.

I understand I'm from Canada, and when I went to Orlando, I was asked if I lived in an igloo.. I just laughed. Oh I was also asked if I was from Toronto or Vancouver, because you know those are the only cities in Canada...

I am so very sorry for my fellow American's immense stupidity! Please understand that not all of us are like that. Again I'm really sorry

Americans are so mean I once went there because I am from Canada and one girl looked me up and down and talked bad about me even though they don't know me they never do something like that here in Canada

Please understand that not all Americans are like that! Every country has people who are ignorant and rude. Either you've had the misfortune of meeting huge twats, or they clammed up and tried breaking the ice in the most awkward, inappropriate way. As an American studying out of country, I have had somewhat similar experiences. Most people like to introduce their country of origin by saying "hey, take a guess! Here's a clue, our countries are at war!". And I hate when people generalize Americans, saying they're all "fat, stupid, lazy, ignorant, and rude....except you of course!" because I happen to break all those stereotypes. Either cut them off and tell them straight up how inappropriate it is, or learn to grow thicker skin. Still, FYL.

You people are calling us Americans so many negative name. Do you guys really know America? If you were born here you people would not be talking bad about this country. Their will be idiots everywhere, you can't possibly think everywhere but America is smart.

I hate to bring up an inconvenient truth, but there were PLENTY of Scandinavian nazis during the war and even after it for quite a while. The op's point stands however. Not many people know this and it's likely this American was the typical ignorant stereotyper.
