Annoying and Kids: Scheißleben

Scheißleben

By LearnGeographyUSA - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Kirkland

Today, and for the past 13 months, I've been living in the States. I've been called a Nazi, asked if we have electricity in Germany, and been made fun of the way I speak with my "German accent", the list goes on. I'm not even German, I'm Danish. FML

Today, I started a new school, after moving from England to New York. People only talked to me just to hear my accent. FML

Today, I came across a tourist in the street asking people for directions, but nobody understood him. I speak English, so I went to help the gentleman out. He said "Knock it off with the cheesy accent, pal" and informed me that my country is a shithole. FML

Today, a kid from my school called me, saying he's going on vacation to Japan soon and that since I was born there, I could teach him the language. His exact words at the start of the call were, "Hey man, you speak Asian, right?" I have to be around this shithead 5 days a week. FML

Today, I found out that two kids were able to, without much effort, convince my 16-year-old daughter that her friend's house was used to smuggle out Jews during WWII. His house was built in 2007. We also live in America. FML

Today, a neo-Nazi stopped me and commented on my blue eyes and blonde hair. He went on to explain that I could be "pure", and should follow him and other Aryans in the campaign to eliminate Jews, and other "abominations". Good thing he didn't see the Star of David necklace around my neck. FML

Today, the first words I heard from my "good, Christian" future mother-in-law included a salvo of curse words and a hushed rant about "them dirty Jews". I'm culturally Jewish. This bodes well. FML

Today, after I was gentrified out of my rent-controlled San Francisco apartment on June 1st by speculators, which I could only afford because of the rent control, I haven’t been able to find a new place yet. I've been living in hotels off a small settlement, but money ran out last week so now I’m on the streets. FML

Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML

Today, I found out that my paper about World War 2 has led my teacher to believe that I hate Jews. I wrote my paper about the technological advances made during the war, and made no mention of Jews. She and I are both Jewish. FML

Today, while going on a jog through the countryside, I discovered that it is actually possible outside of crappy TV shows to have a rifle leveled at you, and to be shouted at to, "Get off my land." FML

Laugh at their ignorance. Or agree with their Nazi joke and let them know they could be next.

Just because you're not German, doesn't mean any less of you :D

My dad is German, and my mom's parents are from the UK/America. I totally feel you. When I came back from Germany after living there for most of my life, I had people asking me the dumbest questions, like if I spoke "European" and if I had met the King and Queen of Europe. They thought that Germany, the UK, and France were all states in one big country. I also got a TON of that whole "Nazi" stick. Though one person called me a "Jewish Nazi"... No idea why. Anyway, if someone calls you a Nazi, just say "Oh yeah, you're totally right! I have a list of all the humans who are lesser and deserve to be wiped off the planet! And guess who's on the top!" Then smile, really nicely. Kidding, mostly. But I feel your pain. Sadly, many Americans are ignorant, self-absorbed people who barely look at the outside world. But there's also many kind, educated, smart people around- you just have to find them! Still, the second I'm old enough, I'm going to find some way to move to Canada. My gf is a Canadian citizen so maybe.... *shrugs* Anyway, best of luck to you OP! Chin up! Denmark is a wonderful place to be from! ^^

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. Not all Americans are like that, it's just sad that the majority is. Why on earth did you leave Denmark?

why would you leave Denmark for the US? I mean I like the USA but I would'nt want to be there for more than 6 months.

Don't feel too bad, I'm Canadian and they think that it always snows here and that we live in igloos. The worst part is there are some Americans that can't even find Canada on a map. So how could they be expected to know where Denmark is or tell the difference between accents

That sucks! A lot of the people in the states are pretty ignorant. Like, I was living there for a year ( Back in Canada now) and I was called beaver lover,asked why I wasnt fat like they thought most Canadians were, and asked if Canada was one huge state in the US.
