Today, I was with my grandma waiting in a line. She only speaks Chinese and there was a black man in front of us talking his phone. My grandma tells me that the black man's really loud and annoying. The man finishes and turns and said fluently in Chinese, "What's wrong with loud black men?" FML

You know it sounds like Mr. Black man was more annoyed by the fact that granma specifically mentioned that he was black. My grandma doesnt speak English either and she would have said the exact same thing. Has anyone seen that "Professor Badass" picture that floats around the net? Thats the picture I have in my mind for this guy.

#17, I'm Chinese and I tell people I'm speaking Chinese. I don't I ever heard a Chinese refer to it as either mandarin or cantonese unless someone asks them what dialect they speak or unless they're speaking in Chinese in the first place.

I hate when people speak in another language assuming you won't understand.

#17: chinese is chinese. who the hell specifies chinese as mandarin or cantonese in an english speaking country? when you tell them you speak mandarin or cantonese to people who're not familiar with chinese language, they'll be like "is mandarin kinda like chinese?" *ni ming bai ma?* obviously you don't live in an english speaking country or haven't been exposed to non-chinese community. i hate when people try to make up stupid arguments and then accuse that an fml is fake based on them. makes me want to bitch slap somebody.

The thing is, he was probably assuming she was speaking in Chinese because she didn't think he'd understand him. The way some girls in my school used to switch to Chinese when I walked in to a room because they thought I couldn't understand them. But since she only speaks Chinese it's not such a big deal. My mother complains in every single language she knows in the hope that the person will understand her.
