Today, I'm on vacation in Japan with my brother. When he said he could speak Japanese, I guess what he really meant that he's a dumbass weeaboo who only knows the words "kawaii", "baka", "sugoi" and a few others. He ended up offending two locals so much that they beat the shit out of us. FML

Today, while on vacation, my brother asked a native of the area for help. Once he got it, he thanked them with "muchos gracias" in the best Spanish accent he could do. We're in Japan. FML

Today, I almost got written up for insubordination by my boss. All I did was explain to him that I couldn't help a tourist out because I speak Japanese, not Korean, and that it's not in fact "the same Asian shit" as he seemed to think. FML

Today, I got my wisdom teeth removed. While under the influence of the drugs, I tried to speak Japanese. Later, my Japanese roommate informed me that I was saying "I am a weasel" over and over again. FML

Today, my brother thought it'd be hilarious to tease a group of Pokémon players. They thought it'd be hilarious to beat both our asses. FML

Today, while on a vacation, I tried to step out of myself and flirt with this boy who I thought was cute. He was going along with it and nodding so I thought it was working. Then he opened his mouth and I realized he didn't speak English. FML

Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his parents. My boyfriend is Japanese, and I wanted to introduce myself in Japanese so I'd asked him. Little did I know he'd taught me how to say, "Hello, I love your son's cock." I almost got kicked out of their house. FML

Today, I brought my Japanese girlfriend home for dinner with my family for the first time. They all got drunk and made heaps of racist jokes right in front of us. My dad forgot her name and started calling her "Rice Ball" instead. FML

Weeaboo is an annoying anime fan that usually is disrespectful or annoying and basically idolizes anything Japanese. Usually ignores the culture other than anime, though.

Sugoi means amazing and Baka means idiot. However in Japan weaboo actually means someone who is extremely obsessed with something and generally stays in and is antisocial. Like a hermit.

Time to learn word number one: Sumimasen! (I apologize)

MidnaLink 33

No, Sumimasen means "Excuse me". Shazai shimasu means "I apologize".

Sumimasen can be both, but just be safe and go with gomennasai

That's impressive. Japanese people are generally very polite and keep to themselves.

He must have really been an asshole because I've heard from people who used to live in Japan that the Japanese are usually pretty accommodating and patient with foreigners.
