Today, my family and I were at a restaurant. We're Swedish and love talking about people in our language because no one ever understands here. I decided to comment about how ugly the girl at the next table was. She turned around and goes "Dra åt helvete." That's Swedish for "Go to hell." FML

Today, I came home to visit my family after a year at college. Expecting to impress them, I proudly informed them that I now speak fluent Swedish. Imagine my surprise when my mother said, "That's a useless language" and everyone agreed. FML

Today, while at a restaurant, my three year old daughter pointed at an African-American girl and yelled out “She’s ugly because she’s black!” Me and my wife got dirty looks for the entire rest of our meal. We have no idea where she learned that. FML

Today, I went out to eat at a restaurant. When the waitress saw me, she continously told me how beautiful and kind I was. Flattered, I just said thank you. Five minutes later, one of the ugliest girls I've ever seen in my life walked in. The waitress told her the same exact things she told me. FML

Today, my boss at my new job asked whether I was fitting in OK. The company is Swedish, so as a joke, I said that at home I now serve all my food as a smorgasbord, chew on fermented herring and Daim chocolate bars, and buy all my furniture at Ikea. She didn't see the funny side. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with a girl I really liked. She started crying when an overweight family walked in and loudly sobbed about how the parents were "murdering" their children. This made the father of that family try to fight me. FML

Today, my sister and I saw a guy with a terrible nose job coming up the bus. She said to me, "Look how ugly that guy is" in our native tongue. The man sat down right in front of us, took his phone out, and started talking our language. FML

Quality family time

Today, my family and I were visiting an aunt. While helping my aunt to set the table, my sister remarked that from behind I look exactly like her. I reflexively blurted out, "Well fuck you too." Very awkward silence. FML

Today, I was in a restaurant with my fiancée for dinner. I commented that she had some food around her mouth. She responded with a lecture, then by throwing her hot bowl of noodles at me, before stomping out the restaurant. FML

Today, I was at a restaurant when I heard a young girl telling her father she didn't think she was pretty. When I got up to leave, I walked past her table and told her she was beautiful. Her dad then punched me in the face. FML

Today, I went to a family dinner. While waiting to be seated, a guy walked by and I looked to see if he was hot. Then my grandma yelled, "Get your eyeballs back in your head and quit staring at boys!" The whole restaurant heard her. Including the guy. And yes, he was hot. FML

I did that before when someone thought they were being clever talking mess about me in Spanish. It's a good way to knock someone down a peg.

Whoa, well that was silly of you to be so mean and assume that people don't know what you are saying. Maybe next time you should not be so public about it?

This is why Americans have such a distrust of immigrants. Despite the language it is very uncomfortable to be in, for example, an elevator of immigrants babbling away in a language you can't understand. This confirms everyone's fears that they are being talked about behind their back.

Wow... that is a really mean thing for you to say. So she was ugly (in your opinion)... you guys should find something better to talk about.

#120, I guess it depends on how often SwedishBozo does this. From his comment, it sounds like he does it a lot, so I'm betting the odds were pretty high.

Ha, you got what you deserved. Maybe you won't try talking about people in front of their faces when you think they can't understand you anymore.

you're awesome!! I love people who speak their mind, even if it's in a different language. I do that all the time but just for fun :) and people have understood me, but big deal! You don't mean anything by it, it's not as if you know that girl. therefore it's just an observation. It's not like you're saying she's a horrible person. why should a stranger's comment bother you? that just means they're insecure :)
