Today, at work, I decided to make things more interesting, so when I called people I used a fake accent. As I was using an Australian accent, the person I was talking to asked me where in Australia I was from. I desperately replied, "Where the kangaroos are..." I'm now jobless. FML

I don't think OP was mocking us, it was probably just for fun. That said, he was being stupid and does deserve it.

You could have just erased the "DF" and the parentheses and left the "dumbfuck" there by itself...

It's sad to see people are so uneducated and ignorant and can't even name one capital city in Australia...and the only thing they know is that we have kangaroos...YDI

I take great offense to this FML, you totally deserved it. Culturally insensitive! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to ride my kangaroo to my koala sanctuary where I will be wrestling a crocodile and consuming spider poison for fun. G'day and goodbye mate.

Honestly, that's more of an epic stereotype than the "fat dumb American" kind.

I'm an Aussie and I reckon other Aussies are with me when I say "NEVER SPEAK WITH OUR ACCENT AGAIN!" and I'm pretty sure you didn't even use the real Aussie accent, you probs just spoke like a bogan

******* oath! I have yet to hear a convincing Australian accent by a non-Australian. I am curious to know what he sounded like. I guess It was a stereotype Croc Dundee accent due to the kangaroo reference.

I don't think it's that bad when they speak with the accent. It actually makes me laugh because of how silly it sounds. I've never heard any Australian speak with an "Australian" accent.

Not all of us are ignorant like this moron. Some of us "yanks" actually know what's outside of the U.S.

Ok so I'm Australian and I have no idea what #59 is talking about. If that's Australian English I must have not reached competency yet.

He said, " Haha, very smooth, good fellow. Only the cursed Americans would be that much of an idiot to speak so stupidly over the phone. You deserved it, now you have to hurry up and find another job or you'll be selling your testicles for money."

Previous call: "'ello there sir! 'ow ya doin? Would you like some tea and crumpets with you services?" Call before that: " top o' the afternoon, lass! Spot o rum with ya order?" Guess third time was a charm. And note: Instead of coming up with accents, why not google something educational. Doodle or scribble or something, but dont be a jackass. You jackass.
