Well received

By egghead - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I was introducing my American cousin to the peaceful English village I live in. Just as I was reassuring her that the people were very friendly and welcoming, a car drove past and pelted us with eggs. FML

By American standards, that is friendly and peaceful. Here, you'd get pelted with bullets.

Or drinking your small town blues away.

14 I'd prefer sex over petty vandalism personally, but maybe I'm just weird like that.

How friendly and welcoming :) they gave you free eggs !! Normally I'd have to pay for them..

Haha. Well I think it's a great welcome! OP's cousin will know there is some fun going around!

This is perfectly normal, British people were never peaceful and no1 can say otherwise.

Damn Brits! You wonder why we wanted our own country!

We wanted our own country so we could throw eggs but claim it to be a sacred religious action so we can do it legally.

Then you would sue the people you hit for negligence of paying attention for flying eggs.

And sue them for them breaking the eggs with their skin.

Is that the best you Brits can do? Once I was walking with my friend past a bank in NYC. There was quite a scene with people running about and cops all over. We thought they were filming a movie cause there were crowds of people just watching. Turns out the bank was actually being robbed. Only in America is mayhem a spectator sport.

Take a joke! You Brits have no sense of humor. We wanted our own country to escape the power hungry king, not because of flying eggs. Why be so defensive?

Comments like yours are one of the reasons people in other countries look at Americans as arrogant. Please STFU.

Sorry, but there's no getting around the fact Americans ARE arrogant.
