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.

You're wrong. "Dra åt helvete" means "Go To Hell." We also use the words "**** you". And the direct translation to that is "Knulla dig"

Yeah, cuz why would a swedish guy know what it is in Swedish? You are stupid, 'Dra åt Helvete' is directly translated to 'Go to hell'...

Why the hell would it matter to you what the girl looks like? You were too much of a coward to say it to her face. Or in English for that matter. Haven't you heard the saying "Talk shit, get hit" ? I bet you aren't a looker, either. YDI.

#25 and others who posted comments in similar lines: People! FML's are meant to be funny.They are meant to be enjoyed. Laugh at them!. Don't judge/preach based on those few sentences. Everyone does mistakes. Many talk dirty about others.If you guys never did, you had a different upbringing.

I think you guys are being ridiculous saying that he's a prick and that he completely deserved it and that people like that are awful people. Face it, everyone says mean things about other people behind their backs, unless you would like to go with #20's "YES, everything I say about someone I am more than willing to express it where they can clearly hear me and respond." (No, I'm not buying that.) Because the OP happened to do it in their own language to family there rather than in the language of their country later on, you guys think that makes him an awful person. It makes no difference. It was unlucky that she understood, but that doesn't make the OP deserve it or any worse than anyone who talks about people behind their backs.

Come on dude you know better than that. I speak another language than the normal one but I know better than to talk about people plainly in front of them.

"We're Swedish and love talking about people in our language because no one ever understands here." Then you deserved this. I hope you avoid being so rude in future.
