Today, I was at a mall. A woman stopped by me, said slowly and loudly, in Spanish "baño?" Knowing a bit of Spanish, I nodded and pointed the restrooms out for her. She then mutters about "dang Mexicans and their inability to speak English". I'm not even Latina. I'm Irish-American. FML

FHL. That was your opportunity to tell her how much of a racist **** she is in plain English.

You may have muttered it a bit. I do this sometimes at work. You can't be perfect when you're tired.

lol you might just be black Irish or something but yeah... what a racist lady >.

That lady's a moron. SHE came up to YOU and asked YOU in Spanish where the bathroom was. It's not like she came up to you, asked where the bathroom was, and you responded to her in Spanish. Plus, you didn't even respond in Spanish, so there was no need for her to make racist remarks. What a dumb bitch.

@ 144 lakeylove: Please try to correct your grammatical errors; they make you seem as if you lack a formal education. Secondly, half American (whatever that means) plus half Panamanian does not equal to Spanish. I could really care less of what you look like but would rather focus on working that noggin. People often think that I am a Mexican even though I am Salvadoran. It doesn't bother me though since I have many close friends that are Mexican. When I see a douchebag, I will them I know English, Spanish, German and some Italian! If they continue to be pesky, I tell them that I am double majoring on Literary Criticism & Theory and Biology! Don't worry, being Hispanic is cool since you get to learn to languages instead of one. As they say, "the more the merrier!" Cheers from California

To number 172, proper English is not as necessary in a forum such as this as it is in a report, or even some more formal forums. A site such as FML is ment to be informal, but if you are going to criticize somebody for grammatical errors, please correct the errors in your own post.

You should have pointed out where the bathroom was while speaking to her in English. It would've been funny to see her reaction to that.

Your life isn't f**ed nor did you deserve that one. Some people are just mean and that woman is one of those people. She obviously assumed you were Hispanic, desperately tried to communicate with you in what she thought was the only way and then was a complete bitch about it. If you ever see her again, just give her a swift kick in the ass.

wow, I would have told her a big **** you. What a bitch.

This is more of a WTF than a FML.
