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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 decided to be friendly and say hi to the weird kid at school, who was sitting by himself eating lunch. After I said hello, he stared up at me intensely and said, "I don't have many friends. Yeah. Mainly 'cause I've eaten most of them." FML
Today, my coworker insisted there must be an underlying, romantic reason for why I spend so much time teaching him everything, and that I didn't mean it when I told him that's what I'm paid to do. I'm actually supposed to train this guy for three weeks. Two more weeks to go. FML
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 found out that my neighbor's son is supposed to be giving me gas money for driving him to school each morning. He's using it to buy drugs instead. FML
Today, I finally got a date with one of the hottest girls in school, a perfect 10. Just before I go to pick her up to go to the movies, I called her to find out where she lives. She answered the phone, only to hear my father yelling in the background, "STOP TALKING TO THAT WHORE." FML
Today, my coworker pointed to our nervous new intern and asked who he was. I jokingly said, "Can't you tell? He's our new slave." I then quickly realized how bad that sounded, given the intern is black. FML
Today, at the daycare center that I volunteer at, a 5 year-old boy asked me, "What do you do when you really want something?" I told him to try his best to get it and give it his best. He ended up stealing from the donation box and when he was caught he said that I told him to do it. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

just teach him all the wrong words, so instead of "where is this place" he says "I am a ********"

Because this is so much worse than the racial slurs of the 1950s

Teach him a ton of rude words and profanity and say that they are "please" and "thank you" or "hello" and "bye!"

Japanese doesn't have the same concept of profanity as English, a lot of things depend on context or word form, the same word in one situation or using one suffix would be what you expect to hear from a holy man giving blessing, while another context or suffix with the same word would get you seen as a sexual deviant. Now, only teaching him the impolite forms of speech, only the least appropriate terms for things, that while technically accurate will be like going out of your way to use every Un-PC term possible. But just not teaching the ass is probably easier.

Get used to it man. After he leaves some other shit head from your school will come along. Then when you go away to college there will be another shit head, and once you get a job out in the real world there will be a whole lot of shitheads.

I don't see anything wrong with that. U are Asian right? So u should obviously teach. C:

If you do decide to teach him, be sure to give him lots of "helpful" phrases like: "I like it in the ass", "I still wet the bed", etc
