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

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..

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.

Actually, OP, in Russia, dorm room keys lose you.
