Today, it's my first Halloween in America since moving from Russia. While handing candy to children, my roommate told me to compliment a little girl by saying "You have a face only a parent could love". I found out it isn't a compliment when I was punched by her Dad. FML

No, no, no, no, no, It's the other way around. In Soviet Russia, these jokes are new!

I know some FML's are inevitably fake and I kinda think this one is. Unless that dad was fresh outta jail I doubt any parent (or any normal person) would react so violently. I've had foreign professors, doctors, and coworkers who have all mixed up phrases and idioms, and never was my first though to punch them but ask them to clarify instead.

Why was that moderated? It didn't have anything offensive and it was totally relevant to the FML.

In soviet rusaia, FML reads you 0_0

In Soviet Russia, candy hands you to children.

In Soviet Russia, the weather is a bit chilly, but still nice. There is a nice coffee shop north of Moscow. Great service.

It's better than getting him to say "you have a face that I could Love ;)"

Eh, if OP speaks enough English to write and FML, -and it being perfectly written- I say YDI for obviously not paying attention.

82- OP could've had his roommate or someone else American write it or check his writing. Also, having good grammar is far different from knowing American cultural subtleties.

what IS cool is his username: "Vladyboi"

In soviet Russia, you scare trick or treaters!

I agree with 82. Grammar is perfect, better than most americans. How could op not have known what he/she was saying in such basic english in this situation. And if op is straight from russia wouldnt the guy have heard a deep accent and given him some sort of break?

Totally agree. Perfect grammar. No way he didn't know what he was saying.

English idioms are subtle to use/understand, so I think this isn't quite a YDI.

Aww, What a bitch you're Roommate is… I suggest you don't take advice from him/her involving speaking English again. (Side note) GO RUSSIA :D

He could've got you to say something to make you sound like a complete creep.. So could've been worse, I guess.

In soviet Russia there are no treats, just tricks

I'm Iraqi, think of how many stereotypes I get thrown at me.. I've lived in Canada my whole life, but my skin color remains. ;) Just brush em off bro.

A Russian having a Russian accent? Naaah, that's just STUPID stereotyping.
