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.

Smooth... Ever hear the pharse "if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all?" It's good advice. I suggest you use it.

This actually happened. I was the Chef at the restaurant and overheard her saying ugly things about me too. Being Swedish myself, i naturally took offense. I did things to the entree before sending it out to her table. bork.bork.bork.

Come on. You can't expect to never insult someone who doesn't speak Swedish if you do that all the time.

LOL. I'm Swedish, I speak Swedish, I talk about people in Swedish all the time. Honestly, who the **** speaks Swedish? But seriously though, there's not one person who's not a hypocrite here! Every mother ******* person on this planet has said something mean about another person. And to the people saying that OP is probably ugly, not possible. Swedes are a race of the hottest people alive. Legit. By the way, I don't talk about people in Swedish randomly, or to make myself feel better, but only when people are rude. Tack, nu dra åt helvete, hycklare.

There's a huge difference between saying bad things about people because they've pissed you off and being such a wanker that you feel the need to comment on how ugly the person at the next table is. Just saying. Oh and whilst I agree that most Swedes I've seen are fairly beautiful, that certainly doesn't mean you all are. You're talking balls there. You sound pretty arrogant to be honest.
