Today, I got rear-ended. In possibly the scariest part of downtown. At night. By a man who spoke hardly any English but managed to ask if I would go out dancing with him instead of calling my insurance company. FML
I agree, your life sucks (16424) - you totally deserved it (1025)

@op your telling me that he didn't speak any English but he knew how o ask you on a date? and he could say insurance agency?? BS
@5: You're telling me that if someone can't speak English they also can't use body language? or even broken English? You're statement is invalid, and you should apologize to the community for being so stupid and ignorant.

It's not at all 'lovely' how this poor, innocent woman was 'rear ended' by a foreign man in the middle of the night while in the scariest part of town. Sicko. ;) OP you're lucky you can't get pregnant from getting rear ended. ;)
Just kidding. :p FYL, I hope you're car is fine!
Please excuse my ignorance, but how do you say insurance company in body language???
And OP, should have called the law, its his insurance (if he has any) that should have to pay for the damage and you need a police report to do so.
Freeze im tired of telling you...... IM NOT INTO YOU..... shit, i thought i made that clear in the messages, leave me alone, stop harassing me, im not gonna send you pics, leave me alone fag.... Im not gay, im not into guys and im not into you.
Hmm? Couldn't understand you with Perdicks in your mouth.

I am going to sympathize with OP if she's referring to Lake Street. Ughhh... *shudder*

URGH! Lake street. Or in Frogtown over by downtown St. Paul. That place is SCARY!

The man not speaking English in this FML is actually part of the FML. I'm sure trying to sort out an accident with someone who is hitting on you but unable to functionally communicate with you is pretty tough.
Exactly - It's a major detail of the FML if you assume op only speaks English. They said it with no implied racism/whatever-ism.

i would've called the police. in this situation, better than just solving it friendly :-|

Lol. I guess it is possible. Come on. If he barely knew any English, maybe he only knew a couple phrases.

this is just another reason why America should completely shut down our borders!
#20 - On 02/04/2010 at 7:26am by Whiterabbitm1
have you heard of the word tourist or resident America it's made out of ppl from everywhere and makes money out of the relationship and ppl from other countries what you shut down is your big mouth
Hello, some people have immigrated here, you bigot. Where did your ancestors come from? The United States? Unless you're Native American, they didn't. So STFU.
#53 - On 02/04/2010 at 11:46am by snickerdoodles
"Native" Americans crossed a land bridge to get to America, so they're immigrants just as much as anyone else, by your logic. Learn your facts you pompous fuck.
My point is that most likely his ancestors were once immigrants that couldn't speak perfect English, just like the weirdo referred to in the post, so he has no place to be bashing immigrants to the United States. The Native Americans were never immigrants to the United States.
#64 - On 02/04/2010 at 3:05pm by snickerdoodles
Oh, if you want to get picky about it. Sure, "Native" Americans were never immigrants to the USA, but they did migrate to the region currently known as the USA. It's likely that Whiterabbit's ancestors never immigrated to the USA either.
I think fudrick is completely missing the message here. What's his name is saying that because EVERYONE in the USA doesn't speak English, we should shut down our borders. This is illogical, seeing as how speaking English is not the only requirement to being a productive citizen. Does it cause problems, sure. But so does being born in the US and dropping out of high school or knocking up your redneck sister at age 13. Closing USA borders will not solve all of the nations problems. Not even a fraction of them.

Hmm...Well, in case you consider going out on a date with him, take my advice:
DATE RAPE
DATE RAPE
RAPE DATE
RAPE DATE.
Eff Your life.
@ 22. Have you ever heard of a fragment? Also, trust me, it wasn't a tourist. And theres nothing wrong with shutting down a boarder. People from Europe or other countries need passports to get here, it doesnt hurt them. Why not the conected boarders?
WTf is wrong with you? People from the connected borders needs passports to get in as much as from any other country. Hell, from Mexico I think you even need to get a visa as well.
FYI, the immigration problem has NOTHING to do with passports anyway! And closing borders isn't really the solution either...
Perhaps the guy liked you. Why you got to be prejudice? Perhaps he was a great guy who just had an accident and is as scared as you are.

Usually one has to take a girl dancing first before can have anal sex with her.
This guy must have come from some exotic "backwards" culture.
You beat me to it again.
Low hanging fruit. I have to get up a little earlier.
#61 - On 02/04/2010 at 2:01pm by CallMeHush
Maybe he thought "dancing" in english meant something else?
"You want get in car? You want to dancing? Me dance very very good, you see!"
You make the translation and see how it comes out...
OP, that's weird and creepy. I'm sorry.
#33 - On 02/04/2010 at 8:26am by saranottelling
How does a dance make up for running into someone? I'm sorry OP. I hope your car isn't damaged or badly damaged.
#37 - On 02/04/2010 at 9:05am by mollymaykitty
I'm sure that he was not trying to make it up, also he probably had no intentions to hurt her but he must be so ugly that he can't get a date and after the crash that is the only thing he saw, an oportunity!
indeed that is fucked up and probably scary for a girl, but next time do yourself a favour and avoid those "dark and lonely" areas!
It's Minnesota. The 'scariest part of downtown' is not all that scary -- even in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Cry me a river.
#44 - On 02/04/2010 at 10:09am by ozymandias
both your comment and this post are extreme. downtown is safe. there are unsafe areas in both cities. did you grow up in the city? linden hills perhps? posting from burnsville maybe?
I really hate when men take any opportunity to ask a girl out. I mean seriously! Come on!
#45 - On 02/04/2010 at 10:12am by TryToBeKind
I had no idea there were scary parts of town in MN. Live and learn.
#46 - On 02/04/2010 at 10:12am by Gobsnoglin
For the love of everything in the known universe, OP, would it kill you to write more than one real sentence? For the other matter, one might wonder why you were even down there in the first place.
#48 - On 02/04/2010 at 10:44am by blastvortex
Why should he call your insurance company, that's your job. Get his information, take pictures with your cell phone and go on about your business. Let the insurance adjusters figure it out.
Not sure why being asked out dancing is a FML...
#52 - On 02/04/2010 at 11:28am by Joceannora
so your saying.. the fact that he didnt speak much english which possibly makes him a minority made the whole scenario scarier? WOOOW ...
If you had tried to use your brain, you might have come to realize that the scary thing is being alone in a not-so-good area of town by night, being in a car accident, AND having some jerk try to seduce you to get out of the insurance issues and the potential payment of the car damages.
Exactly WHY do you think he was asking her for "a date instead of the insurance thing"...? Huh? People try to get out of that sort of thing all the time, but the dance offer was seriously ridiculous.
Him not speaking English well was just added comical effect to the fact that despite the language issue, he still managed to make that ridiculous proposition.
usually, the dancing comes BEFORE getting rear-ended...OH!! giggidy giggidy gigiggigiddy
#55 - On 02/04/2010 at 12:23pm by protooler31
Hey WhiteRabbit, you're right. Native Americans should have closed off borders before you ever got in, you emigrant descendant motherf*cker. And right now they should close them off for good, to make sure dumb-arse bigoted motherf*ckers like you never get out. The rest of the world is sick of the amazing amout of dumbasses that the US spits out.

Please shut up and find somewhere else to spew your crap. Thanks. =) Have a wonderful day, and please leave at the sound of the tone. *BEEEEP*

Your logic makes perfect sense. Thank you, Ben-, nay, Dr. BenCakes.

Got rear-ended and the other driver speaks enough english to ask for a dancing date, but insurance isn't part of his vocabulary? Get back in the car, lock the door take his license plate and call the cops. It ain't brain surgery.

Bencakes, maybe she's hot and the other driver got thinking "you know, this is a great way to meet women - Hey, babe, ya dance?" :)

Today, I decided. That I would type. Like the biggest jackass. In the world. Using only sentence fragments. FML.

There is no "Scary" part of either downtown minneapolis or st paul....I call shenanigans. Only scary part of Minnesota at all is North Minneapolis.
agreed downtown is not "scary" but would you want to get rear ended in downtown eat or cedar riverside after midnight with no one around? im from phillips and have had SKETCHY encounters biking at night. it can get unnerving is all i'm sayin'
I'm tempted to believe this, since when I was in my first ever (and hopefully last) car accident in Los Angeles, my hot friend was actually hit on by the fugly cops who arrived on scene. Humans are humans, even cops/bad drivers.
I'm tempted on saying YDI, since Minnesota as a majority. Has the worst drivers I've ever seen. And based on the crappy drivers I have to dodge each day I can assume your probably at fault as well. But still its most likely his fault. So FYL for crashing in D.town, and having to deal with a car crash.
