Today, a blonde tourist came up to me and asked me for directions to the nearest train station. I politely directed her there, and she left. Five minutes later, she came back and slapped me for not bringing her to an "English-speaking station". We're in China, lady. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was verbally abused by a tourist because neither I nor anyone else in my country can speak "proper English". We're in England - clue's in the name, dipshit. FML
Today, two drop dead gorgeous Australians asked me for directions. Being so shocked by their beauty and accents, I couldn't get words out of my mouth. Then one said to the other, "Nope, she doesn't speak English", then walked away. FML
Today, I was eating at a Chinese restaurant, when I stopped the waitress to tell her that even though I am of Chinese heritage, I can't understand a word of Chinese. After an awkward silence, she told me she was actually speaking English. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a bunch of angry people because I couldn't physically move out of the way while 10 more tried to force their way onto a subway in Shanghai. Then one old lady started hitting me with her purse to get me to move even more. FML
Today, a tourist from an English-as-second-language country taught me a new word. In English. FML
Today, while waiting for my order at a restaurant, a woman walked up to me and slapped me. She looked at me for a moment and said "Sorry, I thought you were someone else." Ten minutes later, the same woman came back and slapped me again. FML
Today, I was walking down my street when a girl came up behind me and started yelling about me being a slut. When she saw I was the wrong person, she continued to yell at me because I have blonde hair. FML
Today, I returned to Germany for a break from my studies abroad. I got lost while out for groceries, so I tried asking a guy for directions. I went totally blank and strained to think of the right words, prompting him to mutter about rude foreigners not bothering to learn the local language. FML
Today, at the nail salon, a Korean woman was making fun of me. I kindly told her, in Korean, that I understood. She kindly told me, in English, that she didn't care. FML
Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You have a map in your brain. Use it.

I can't imagine how expensive it would be to use your phone to navigate around a different country. Hello roaming charges! Maybe not the wisest thing to do.

Surprisingly, the dumb blondes are usually the girls who dye their hair an obviously fake colour of blonde.

The slapping part seems like a major overreaction o-o

Nothing like proving a stereotype.

People seem to be to concerned about the fact OP pointed out the tourist was blonde & how offended they are. The blondes need to stop paying attention to those stupid overused jokes & realize they're making them more real by responding to them & reminding everyone those jokes exist. Even really smart blondes makes asses of themselves making the same arguments. Come on, don't remind me one more time about how hung up you are on overused jokes, please let them die down, people aren't always pointing out blondes to make fun, pointing out someone's naturally blonde paints a better picture than "I saw this white girl in line carrying a cute Louis Vuitton. She looks like she's not from here." Just saying, be confident that you're smart & stop thinking everyone thinks blondes are dump, people try to hate by using stupid stereotypes & it doesn't make them true by saying them. ~ Sorry for the long rant. ~

Did you REALLY have to say that she was blonde?

The problem I'm seeing with the comments is people are jumping to conclusions on what this woman is. There are many English speaking countries with blondes. she could have been Canadian, European, or American, but ignorance doesn't mean She was from the States. Also, providing that she was blonde was unneeded. I understand you were trying to say that she was obviously foreign to you, but simply putting tourist would suffice.

I saw only one comment assuming that she was from the U.S...
