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

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

I guess, when you moved to America, you did Nazi that coming.

Sorry OP, some people can be really ignorant! Just disregard it because they're obviously dumb.

I apologize for the idiots of 'merica making the rest of us look stupid and ignorant.

I've never heard of people treating other people like that, it might just be where I live though.

This is why I wanna get out of America. rude ass people

Well the Nazi and electricity comments were messed up, and making fun of your accent is just rude. But are you seriously offended that they can't distinguish a Danish accent from a German one? I mean, they sound quite similar, especially to someone that is not used to hearing either. There are people that speak Danish in Northern Germany, too. I think you need to lighten up on people not recognizing your accent or on not knowing geography. Maybe you are a snob and that's why people don't like you =/. Well, I am an American, and while I'm no language or geography expert, I always treat others well, and I would never have made those stupid comments or made fun of you, no matter where you're from. Ignore the idiots; every country has them. Even yours.

Just come to Canada. Plus , we have maple syrup.

Don't fall into the Canada trap. Yes, the maple syrup and people are nice. Your chances of being molested by a moose are exponentially higher, though.

Try going to NYC. If you don't mind paying millions of dollars for a small apartment. You probably wont be made fun of though!

This is why I hate humanity. They're assholes to everyone.

I'm sorry you have to deal with idiots.
