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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Teaching him dirty words would be too easy. Just teach him the right words, but in Chinese instead of Japanese.

Teach him dirty words so he can be a fool like he is when he is in Japan. I'm sure he will get karate chopped!!!

I'm Spanish, and I always have either someone telling me that I am Mexican or someone asking me why I'm white -.-

Look at it positively. Now you have a chance to teach him some manners. Japan is all about respect and manners. Tell him he'll offend people if he doesn't keep in line and maybe it'll stick. Or you could teach everything wrong and offend every person he encounters and ruin his trip and possibly jail time and or deportation.

That's not entirely true. Japan is among one of the most racist and closed off societies to outsiders there is, especially in the business world. It's just that they think most westerners are loaded with money, why some are being nice :).

Should have asked him, "Can you teach me how to speak European? I'm visiting Germany some day."

Teach him how to say only racist, sexual, and just inappropriate phrases without his knowledge. That's one way to get even. Or be entertained. Or both.
