Today, my art teacher showed off a painting of his name he got in Japan. I can read Japanese, and it actually says "Old idiot". I really don't want to break it to him. FML

Today, I brought my best painting yet to college. I showed it off and everyone loved it. Or almost everyone. When we came back from lunch break, we found someone had sharpied the words "JIZZ BUTT" all over it. That painting took two weeks to finish. FML

Today, my grandpa saw one of the paintings in the guest room at my house. "What the fuck?" he snorted, then said whoever painted it should "stick to their damn day job". I painted it. FML

Today, I had to make a poster for social studies. I decided to write "Nice ass" in hieroglyphics. Turns out my teacher can read hieroglyphics. FML

Today, in algebra, I took out my notebook. My Chinese teacher was so impressed with my "Chinese" writings on the cover that I'm now her "favorite student". Those "Chinese" symbols are actually Japanese, but I wanted someone to like me so badly that I didn't correct her. FML

Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML

Today, I found out my teacher writes descriptions next to people's names on the register to remind him who people were. By mistake the descriptions appeared on the computer projector. Next to my name it said "Tubby". FML

Today, one of my paintings was accepted into a local art gallery. It would've been a dream come true, had my "best friend" not submitted it under her own name and taken all the credit. FML

Today, in art class, everybody was showing the paintings that we have been working on for weeks. Everyone was cheering and clapping. When mine came up, nobody clapped. FML

Today, my friend showed me a creepy piece of artwork he'd drawn. I laughed and said that it would give me nightmares, meaning it as a compliment. Turns out, this one was in honor of his dead grandmother, who'd raised him. FML

that's really messed up but I don't think I'd have it in me to break it to him either.

This is why it's a terrible idea to get Japanese words as tattoos also, unless you're fluent enough to understand or someone you trust can translate it.

Yeah, when getting a foreign glyph Tattoo, painting, coffee mug, whatever- done, it's wise to have someone who can read the language and is on your side as a backup. A FOAF went to a tattoo parlor and wanted the Glyphs for Wisdom and Courage in Korean Tatted on his arms. He took a schoolmate who read Korean with him, and lo and behold the Tat artist was preparing to put Stupid and Ugly on him. Said Tattoo artist got his ass beat thoroughly. The friend offered to write the glyphs beforehand but the dude was curious as to whether the artist was honest or not.

That last part would have been a smart move in any case. And good on your FOAF for beating that jerk. Do tattoo artists show what they would do beforehand?

That sucks. Don't tell him. He'll just take it home and enjoy it and possibly show it to friends and family. I've been to japan and most of the people are very nice.

You have to tell him. Otherwise you're the friend who reads Japanese who didn't give him the heads up. Better he feel like an idiot for a minute than look at you differently for the rest of your friendship.
