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.

Some people. I'm fluent in spanish (which most people don't expect because I'm a redheaded white girl) and I've heard talk about some horrible things in there native language because they assume others can't understand. It's ridiculous how stupid people can be.

how do you NOT deserve it? I'd say that in sweedish, but you're in an English speaking country, and apparently you know how to speak it, so speak it! if you don't have the balls to say it in English in front of me, you probably shouldn't be saying it. learn some manners, asshole.

All you americans are right to be outraged at the ABSOLUTE NERVE of people who could even consider speaking in a language that isn't English. Imagine that you might have to learn about a different cultureand people. Cast shame on these people and deport them immediatly. Agus ná bí ag gearán an t-am ar fad faoi daoine ag caint i teanga eile. B'fheidir go bhfuil sé a dteanga féin agus cén fáth nach deireann siad as fhraincis nó spáinis nó aon teanga eile. Sin é le haghaidh mise agus go n-éirí an t-ádh libh.

I agree that some dudes are really pissy about speaking English in America, but just in case you forgot English is in fact our primary language. MOST who act like that aren't retarded hillbillies who cringe at the thought of learning its just a fact that in China your expected to speak Chinese; Sweden Swedish; Brazil Portuguese etc... Yes a lot of people who act like that are grade A douche bags but talking rudely about people, expecting them not to understand is also a real dick move

people here from america seem to need total control of everything that is said, requesting us to speak english when in america... if i was in america with my family, we would ofc speak swedish to each other. why on earth would we want to speak english to each other? just so other people can hear what we're saying? its then called eavesdropping, and is considered discourteous.. if for example, a spanish family came to sweden, i would think it would be silly of them to speak swedish/english.. just plain stupid. OT: OP, du förtjänar det trots allt.
