Today, I checked in a group of men from Mexico. I speak just enough Spanish to realize they're discussing my breasts. I have to stand there smiling while checking in three more people. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was at a mall. A woman stopped by me, said slowly and loudly, in Spanish "baño?" Knowing a bit of Spanish, I nodded and pointed the restrooms out for her. She then mutters about "dang Mexicans and their inability to speak English". I'm not even Latina. I'm Irish-American. FML
Today, I was in India. At the airport, the men and women were being searched separately. The guy welcoming us pointed me towards the women's area. I had to explain to him that I was a guy. It took 15 minutes. FML
Today, I was at my favorite Mexican restaurant when I realized my really cute waiter, along with his buddies kept looking at me and smiling. Trying to be cool, I took a bite of my burrito, choked, and spilled ground beef down my new shirt and in my bra. They laughed the whole time. FML
Today, I gave a presentation to a group of international clients. Wanting to impress them, I tried to say "Thank you" in their language, which I thought was Portuguese. Turns out, I was speaking Spanish to a room full of French Canadians. Their confused faces were priceless. FML
Today, my sister told me about her upcoming trip to Mexico. I asked her how she was going to do anything without knowing any Spanish. She told me she's "just going to read their lips". FML
Today, I introduced my Spanish friend to a girl I've had a crush on for a long time. Because he only spoke Spanish and she only spoke English, I was the translator. The first thing he said to her was, "You are really pretty." I translated it as "I like other men." Later, they found out. FML
Today, a customer came in who only spoke Spanish. I speak Spanish rather well so I helped the customer. She ended up buying $2300 worth of stuff. I got written up because not speaking English apparently "has the potential be offensive to other customers if they are not able to understand you." FML
Today, I had to repeat my order in Starbucks three times because the barista was staring at my chest. FML
Today, I was taking the metro into DC for my internship. Two guys came in and started talking to each other in Arabic. One boy turned to the other said "Do you think shes cute?" The other responded "Her face is hideous but she has nice tits." I am fluent in Arabic. They were looking at me. FML
Today, I went to the gym that I just became a member of, making an extra effort to look good because I've heard there are hot guys there. The lady at the front desk said they need to take my picture, then took a second look and said, "Don't worry hun, we'll take it when you're more prepared." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should've said something to them in Spanish. Even just like "enjoy your stay" or something so they get the hint that you could understand them.

Erm... Hate to tell you this, but your comment was neither funny, clever, original, nor intelligent... And the fact that you give kudos to yourself just shows how small your brain actually is.

Congratz, you weren't even bright enough to make another account when trying to make your pathetically immature comment look good.

It's a shame you didn't know enough Spanish to reply with "They're actually exquisite - but the three of you will never see them. Enjoy your stay."

Would you rather they stand there and NOT talk about your boobs? I think that'd be even more embarrassing.

That's when you smile and say "Entiendo lo que ello dice," or "I understand what you're saying."

Entiendo lo que ustedes dicen* You said "I understand what he says"

First, get over the fact that they're talking about your boobs. They're guys. It's what they do. If you're old enough to have a job, you're old enough to have learned that life lesson. I worked at a Mexican restaurant, and I knew enough Spanish to ask 'how many?' 'smoking or non?' and 'follow me.' That was it. And I didn't have to know more Spanish to know when the guys were talking about me. It happens to every girl. Second, if you know enough Spanish to know that they're talking about your boobs, then you should know enough to tell hem off. YDI for standing there doing nothing. Unless your boss is really anal, he/she would understand the situation.

No one has to accept being made uncomfortable simply because "that's what guys/girls do." There's a big difference between saying something about it in private and saying something about it to the girl's face. OP, you still deserve it for not saying something to them.

All men are pervs. It also depends what social "tribe" you are. If you're a prep, you will be "decent". If you're a naco... Well, I think the word explains itself.

You should have said something to them polite to them in Spanish like wishing them a good day or something, just so they could know that you understood all they had been saying in Spanish. I'm sure the looks on their faces would have been worth it. XD

I would just say, "I SPEAK SPANISH ASSHOLE." (bonus points if you say this in Spanish) seriously? A LOT of people in the US speak Spanish - it's not a secret code *ROLLS EYES*

I take Spanish. Easy. Now tell me: If Spanish was a secret code, why did I get As all 4 semesters I have taken it so far (I have 2 more semesters to go)? And how could I have done this as a second language learner? I think you're dumber than a dumbass. (Bonus points for me if you're older than me. And to give u a baseline, I am 16 and going to be a junior in high school).
