Today, I'm studying abroad in Russia, and I lost my keys to my dorm room. In the office I asked for a spare and she spoke really fast so I couldn't hear her. Assuming I don't speak Russian, she gets on the phone and calls maintenance saying, "There is this ugly girl about to cry... come fix it." FML

Today, I lost my keys. My roommate locked me out, then yelled at me when I made her come home to let me in. I tore my room apart searching for them, and even went out to search my locker room. When I got home, I glanced at my wall only to find my keys hanging on the hook I set up specifically for them. FML
Today, I went to take a shower, but forgot my towel and dorm key in my room. After my shower, I had to run down to the front desk butt-naked, using only a shampoo bottle as cover, and ask for a temporary key. The person running the front desk was my ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend. FML
Today, my roommate who stays out til 4 or 5 in the morning each night got her key to the dorm fixed. I've been having to stay up nightly to let her in (my normal bedtime being 12:00) How'd they fix it? Turns out it was never broken she was just putting the key in the slot wrong. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my dorm room. I walked across campus, shoe-less and in nothing but my bathrobe, to find someone who could let me back in. Turns out I hadn't even shut the door properly and so it never actually locked. I can still hear the guy laughing at me. FML
Today, my boss is on the phone with a Russian customer, who keeps saying, "Speak Russian please!" My boss asks me to translate, as he hired me for my knowledge of Russian. He says something, I translate in Russian, then the customer says, "Speak English please!" FML
Today, my roommate has gone home for the weekend. She forgot to turn her alarm clock off. Her door is locked. FML
Today, my roommate asked me to lock the door as we left our place. I told her to use my keys, because my hands were full. Afterwards, she and her boyfriend set off out of town for the next couple of days. She forgot to give me back my keys. FML
Today, while taking a shower in the dorm bathroom, my roommate thought it would be funny to steal my towel, robe, and key. I spent over an hour waiting for someone to come into the bathroom so I could ask them to bring me something to cover up. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend came to visit. We went to a cafe where I managed to lock myself in the toilet, breaking the key. I then had to wait for them to break down the door. I came out to applause from everyone, who had been laughing at me for 25 minutes. FML
Today, I heard a knock on my door and, thinking it was my student adviser, opened it. I was greeted by a drunk girl, who pushed her way into my dorm room, informed me that she lived here last year, and then told me that she lost her virginity in my bed. FML

was the word she used "ooroda"? thats the only one i can really think of since "nekrasivaya" wouldnt really fit the situation. anyways, doesnt necessarily mean ugly, well literally it does, but anyways. im trying to piece together the sentence based on your translation, what i have is "toot ooroda shas rasplatchitsa, priydee pomagee" is that right? if so, shes basically just showing her displeasure with the situation and not really calling you ugly, or even saying that you are about to cry. translating literally from russian to english will often get you into trouble, but that is what you are there to learn. either way though, it was unprofessional of her, but seriously, being called ugly (not really) by some receptionist is FML worthy for you?

Are you sure she would say урода, i think she would use уродина, even so saying this word also seems awkward, just because it has so many syllables, it makes it hard for me to believe that she used a word that means ugly but rather something else.

yes, it is urodina, but it is not that difficult a word. It may be difficult for a non-russian speaking person, but its an easy word for a russian

the fact that it has many syllables doesn't make it a difficult word, after all the syllables aren't hard to pronounce. i think it is just an awkward word.

Let's get to the nitty gritty here, is this an FML because the desk jockey was talking about you behind your back, but to your face - or is it because you are fugly and the clerk called you on it?

I hate to break it to you, but not everyone dreams of living in America. She is probably quite content living in Russia and doesn't dream of being elsewhere because she really has no desire to live in a different country.

you are pathetic... Reporting her won't help, as her supervisors would probably be even more rude, since they are in a higher-ranking job position that the receptionist. No one actually cares about employees being polite to clients..

oorodka is most likely but theyre all just diminitive from ooroda

I understand English and German and have been in such situations in Europe myself. I have also heard tourists from my country (Russia) talking laudly and rudly about everyone around on the street or in the cafe in London or Vien and thinking that no one hears. And I felt shame for them. I think it is a common sin. To many people think that they are really clever and would not get cought.
