Today, while walking home, I passed some guy loudly whining that foreign imports are destroying our economy, and that we should all be deported. When I pointed out that the mobile phone in his hand was clearly a Samsung, he turned bright red and punched me in the gut. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while I was standing in line at the store, some guy insulted the girl in front of me as he walked past. She turned around and socked me in the face. FML
Today, an Asian man approached me and called me pretty. I thanked him and he asked if I'm Chinese. When I said, "No, I'm Taiwanese" he promptly spat in my face and called me a "traitor to the motherland." FML
Today, I went on a first day with a guy. It went well up until he saw my phone, loudly declared that I was ‘gross’ for having an iPhone, and then stormed out. I’m on a family plan and if it were my choice, I would have got an Android. FML
Today, a stranger asked to borrow my phone since his had died. As he was using it, he kept walking away and I had to chase him because he was walking too far. He turned around, yelled, "Stop following me, asshole!" and punched me, knocking me out cold. When I came to, I realized the fucker stole my phone. FML
Today, I told a customer that we don't do refunds. He responded by throwing his wallet at my face and accusing me of stealing it. FML
Today, I was in a big Skype chat, which somehow turned into a heated argument. My friend lost it, typed "your stupid" and called me a "looser." When I pointed out the irony of his messages, he rage-quit, drove all the way to my house, and punched me in the face at the door. FML
Today, I asked my husband to borrow his phone, since mine had died. His response was, “Well, you have a charger, use it.” When I reminded him that we weren’t at home, he screamed at me in front of everyone at the store, “I’m not letting you go through my phone and that’s final!” FML
Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML
Today, while at work, a customer, who was also on his phone, rudely asked what kinds of bread we had for his sandwich. After I told him we had many different kinds to offer, he cut me off, told me to stop playing stupid, and stormed out after holding up a long line of people. FML
Today, I was out for a walk, wearing a T-shirt with a fist on it and the words "Bump it." A guy came up to me, looked at my shirt, shrugged, and punched me in the stomach. FML

Apparently people don't realize the OP's from South Africa, not the U.S.....

Right on!!!! :D

What's up with all the dipshits talking about America? This guy's from South Africa. Stop making Americans look so self-centered, ffs!

Yes, I am aware that OP is in South Africa but you could just as easily hear some ranting like that in the U.S.

So what. Even though the "buy only [American] products" solution is a silly one I don't find it compelling enough for people to slander the country and be all anti-American. The OP is from S. Africa and people automatically assumed he's from the States - that right there just proves that people are quick to jump on the "stupid American" or "I don't understand this country" bandwagon.

Loud... whiny... racist... stupid: How could this conversation go wrong?
unknown_user5566 27
Way to take one for the team, OP. We need more people like you in society who are willing to go the extra mile to cure the rampant idiocy that currently plagues us.
LiceDownUnder 3
And its people like you who have to be politically correct about everything and cause this country to grind to a hault when it comes to making progress
unknown_user5566 27
54- I am honestly baffled by your comment. What are you talking about?

I heard this guy once go into a 3 minute rant about how we need to buy more American products to stimulate the economy. He then go into his Toyota and drove off. I've given up on trying to understand America.
OhDearBetrayal 25
Probably thought that Toyota is American because of the whole pride in trucks thing in the US.

PLEASE tell me you laughed your ass off at his idiocy *falls of chair laughing*

That's just one person out of 300+ million people, and although a rather silly solution for stimulating the economy at least it's an honest one. So try again.

Toyota is actually made in Mississippi :) Unlike Ford that is imported from Mexico.

My feeling is, no matter where you're from, if you're whining about imports making your economy worse, do some shopping and research and buy only what is made in your country. Hypocrites are the absolute worst!

I was going to make comments about 'Merica being ignorant ... But this was posted In south Africa . But the fact that I immediately assumed this was about my country speaks volumes for itself .

Ehh, you really can't be that bad. You admitted it, at least.

Economic nationalism is no solution to current crisis.
Locoluis 15
Economic nationalism brings economic isolation, stagnation, poverty and eventual collapse. We've reached a point from which it's impossible to progress without global trade. The world is going global. Either you make business overseas or someone else is going to do it.

Hey, there's no room for you smart people on this site. You don't fit in at all. Lol

Ignorent people will do ignorent things, so don't take the punch personally OP
unknown_user5566 27
That they will. It's ignorant*, by the way. Ignorant: 1. Lacking education or knowledge. 2. Showing or arising from a lack of education or knowledge: an ignorant mistake. 3. Unaware or uninformed. I'm normally not this much of a nazi, but I HAD to point this one out. It was killing me. ;)

So are you saying that 22 was ignorant of ignorance?
