Today, I had to explain to half of my class that yes, my birthday is on the same day as Hitler's, but no, it does not make me a Nazi. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML
Today, I was discussing my family heritage with my girlfriend's parents. The moment I told them that I came from a German background, her seven-year-old brother pointed at me and yelled, "HITLER!" FML
Today, I had to explain to someone in my class who Gandhi really was and that he was not a fictional goblin. FML
Today, my daughter is so out of touch with anything not related to her phone and her social popularity that she doesn't know who Hitler was. I had to show her on YouTube, and while we aren't religious anymore, we are a Jewish family so this is an extra level of parental shame for me. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, there was a new girl in one of my classes. We both corrected a classmate on his grammar, so, trying to make a new friend, I leaned back to her and said, "Haha, fellow Grammar Nazi?" She gave me a disgusted look and told me she was Jewish. FML
Today, it was my high school graduation. Because our school colors were red, black and white, and our principal looked somewhat like Hitler, the senior class prank was to salute him when he finished his speech. I was the only one. FML
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today, I had to explain to multiple people that even though I'm white, I have no interest in joining a hate group. FML
Today, going through my late grandmother's papers, I found out that my grandfather had never been in the Nazi party. The reason he was not allowed to work as a teacher was that he had never passed his university exams. He found an invented Nazi past less shameful than academic failure. FML

Yeah, in a dictatorship, there is only the dictator's birthday. Anyone else is not human.

Dude look at the bright side... Your birthday is 4/20! ;)

Hitler's birthday, April 20, was a shitty day... The BP Oil Spill and the Columbine High School massacre also happened on his birthday..

Oh and #56, it should also be noted that North Korea's calendar begins on Kim II Sung's birthday...

If you're in AP, someone has clearly made a mistake, as your comment is verging on the incoherent, given the misspellings and poor punctuation.

Jesus Christ. This makes me ashamed to be in AP.

Well, what are the odds then eh? Precisely 1 in a 365 chance.
Acik91 26
Not quite precisely. It's 4 in 1461, taking into account 29th of February. My apologies, I wouldn't normally do it, I'm just supposed to be preparing to an exam right now. So, anything's better.

You share that burden with about 1/365th of the world's population. I'm pretty sure there are some nazis among them. Good for you that you aren't one of them.
cryssycakesx3 22
I Snyder think that's how that statistic works.

I'm that 1/365 lol
