Today, I was at my friend's Bar Mitzvah. After he finished his long-winded speech, I sarcastically did the mockingjay sign from the Hunger Games. It took a couple of seconds before I realized how that looked, and a couple more for me to be shouted down and kicked out. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my sister had her batmitzvah. During the party, there is a tradition where the batmitzvah gets lifted on a chair, and so does her family. It was my turn after my sister's. I got in the chair. They couldn't lift me. FML

Today, I somehow mistook the Star of David for a Pentagram. My Jewish friends were not amused. FML

Forever solo

Today, I went to a Bat Mitzvah. We played a game where all of the girls grabbed one of their shoes and placed it in the middle. Then, all of the guys had to pick a shoe. Whatever guy picked the shoe, the girl had to dance with. No one picked my shoe. Everyone else was dancing except for me. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML

Today, I made a speech in front of my entire graduating class and their families, despite my fear of public speaking. It seemed to go well and I got a big round of applause at the end. Then I panicked and instead of waving, I lifted my arm straight out in a Hitler salute. FML

Today, I stuck one of those "kick me" signs on my friend's back for fun, and someone took the invitation. Unfortunately, my friend whirled around and beat the shit out of him. I managed to sneak the sign off his back, but now I feel like a total asshole. FML

Today, during some previews before the new Harry Potter movie, a guy stood up and led the audience in an enthusiastic and rather successful chant "H-A-R-R-Y!". Minutes later when I attempted to do the same thing, I was pelted with half-full bags of popcorn, freezing sodas, and booing. FML

Today, I saw Les Misérables. I was singing along to one of the songs when the guy next to me dumped his soda over my head and told me to shut up. FML

Did I miss something? How is OP a douchebag? I mean, yeah, it was colossally offensive but it wasn't like OP's thought process was to intentionally offend. Edit: I'm not condoning what OP did, by the way.

Irrespective of what it looked like, why would you do that at such an important event? YDI.

After reading the comments abou what it means in the film/book it's respectful, obviously it's other connotation not so much..

I saw a similar post in moderation about this and it didn't use the word "sarcastically" and said the rabbi kicked then out because he thought it was "heil hitler".. i said no for a reason. YDI

That's just brilliant. Your friend'd bar mitzvah is a sacred right of passage and you mocked him. Karma came all over your face.

First would be how would that fit at all? Second would be think before you make random signs, or potentially before you speak

Should have done the Vulcan salute, at least that wouldn't have gotten you kicked out.

Ok, must be showing my age; apparently you're all too young to have heard the story of how Leonard Nemoy snuck a peek one time when he was a kid and saw the Rabbi making the sign that would later become "Live long and prosper".
