Transportation, Travel and Relatable: ¿Dónde estás?

¿Dónde estás?

By Anonymous - 09/03/2015 14:24 - Spain - Zaragoza

Today, an old friend of mine landed in Spain, where he's visiting me. After a few minutes talking about where we should meet, we realized the reason he couldn't figure out where it was, was probably due to the fact that he was in Barcelona. I live in Madrid. FML

Today, I was meeting up with a friend in a town. He said he was at the restaurant we were going to meet at; I was too. Turns out I was in the wrong town. FML

Today, a friend who I hadn't seen in a while offered to give me a ride. I didn't really know how to give directions to my house, so when we had been driving for a while and it was getting awkward, I just pointed at a random house and pretended to live there. FML

Today, I met with my Bolivian friend, who's vacationing here for a few weeks. Eager to show him how welcoming we are in the USA, I took him home and introduced him to my parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "Bolivia? That's in Europe, right? We saved your asses in World War 2." FML

Today, I flew to England to visit my boyfriend, who has been working there for the past three months. I went to his hotel and waited for him; he never showed up. I called one of his colleagues to ask him what was going on. He had no idea what I was talking about. FML

Today, I introduced my Spanish friend to a girl I've had a crush on for a long time. Because he only spoke Spanish and she only spoke English, I was the translator. The first thing he said to her was, "You are really pretty." I translated it as "I like other men." Later, they found out. FML

Today, I had an argument with my dad about Venice being in Italy, not Spain. He wouldn't believe me, and had to Google it. He's an engineer for an aerospace company. FML

Today, after many hours studying a complete course of Spanish, I felt really good. I had accomplished something, something I could really use next week when I fly to Mexico on vacation. Then I found out what I had learned was Spanish as they speak it in Spain, not how they speak it in Latin America. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend from college on the bus to work. Having not seen each other in over 10 years, we spent a good 15 minutes talking about our lives after college. At the end, he asked me what my name was. FML

Today, I met up with an old friend of mine who acts in a TV show. I hadn't seen him in a long time, but I'd been watching episodes of the show almost daily, so when he showed up I could only see him as his TV character and not as my friend. I ended up calling him by his character's name. FML

Today, my boyfriend, who lives 100 miles away and whom I haven't seen in 2 months, told me he was visiting my city with some friends. I assumed this was an opening to an invitation, but no, he just asked me about the best places to get drunk. FML

What I'm wondering is how they didn't notice this when they were planning the friend's trip...

Saw this FMl and I'm knew this would pop up. Little bit surprised one of the first comments wasn't a debate between them and one between messi and ronaldo

Your friend should jump on a train to Madrid, the ride between those two cities is most scenic. Problem solved!

Is your friend from the the US? I think some (not all, please don't downvote me into obliteration) Americans are not very good with geography. "Spain is a very small country, right? They probably only have 1 airport. Blah blah blah" kind of thinking. Just because the country is not as big as the "Great and Powerful United States of America".

HeWillBeLoved105 22

It has nothing to do with the geography or how "little" the country is it was the friends pure and utter stupidity. And you're not that far from his friend.

Tuesday 10 March 2015 3:18

Just because his geography skills might not be superb, doesn't mean OP's friend is from the United States, is it so hard to believe Other people from Other countries make mistakes too? Why Is it always assumed to me American?

latinablanca 24

Tuesday 10 March 2015 3:53

Your comment shows pure ignorance. Looking at your profile, I see that you're from the US... Maybe you have poor geography skills and that's why you think other Americans do as well? I'm not sure. But if my theory is correct, maybe you should MOVE AWAY to a different country and help yourself develop some geography skills(:

Of course you say Americans right? Because we are all the same?? Wrong.... You are a idiot, just because you "think" we are doesn't make it true. Btw any moron knows Spain is a big place, he probably just didn't research enough.
