Kids: Today, it's my first Halloween in America since moving from Russia....

Today, it's my first Halloween in America since moving from Russia. While handing candy to children, my roommate told me to compliment a little girl by saying "You have a face only a parent could love". I found out it isn't a compliment when I was punched by her Dad. FML

Today, a kid came Trick-or-Treating at my house. When I told her it was still one more day until Halloween, and that I didn't have any candy, she wound-up her fist, punched me in the groin, and ran off laughing. FML

Today, a kid came trick or treating to my house. When I told him Halloween was nearly two weeks ago, his reaction was to savagely kick me in the shin and run off screaming obscenities. This is the same kid who broke down in tears when I gave him candy on the real Halloween. FML

Today, I was at a restaurant when I heard a young girl telling her father she didn't think she was pretty. When I got up to leave, I walked past her table and told her she was beautiful. Her dad then punched me in the face. FML

Today, I realized why the lady I had complimented the night before on Halloween about her amazing one-armed costume, looked so hurt. She is literally missing an arm. I'm an asshole. FML

Today, it was Halloween, and I was giving candy to kids. When a group of kids who looked like they were around 4 years old came up to me and said, "Hey mister, do you have one of those things that make it look like you are fat under your shirt?" I didn't have one of those, but I lied and said, "Yes." FML

Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents. My dad looked at him and said, "Nice outfit, but it's a little late for Halloween." Before I could intervene, my boyfriend said that joke had been done to death, to which my dad retorted, "Yeah, so has your mum." Instant fistfight. FML

Today, in the spirit of Halloween and to get back at a child who repeatedly pressed the doorbell until I showed up, I quickly opened the door and yelled "Boo!" The child ended up being carried away crying with wet pants by a mother threatening to sue. FML

Today, it's Halloween. I get bullied every day and this was no exception, but this time I got beat up so hard I bled. Everyone thought it was part of my costume. FML

Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML

Today, while I was working at a supermarket, a kid started to cry in line because he couldn't get candy. Since we have free lollipops behind the desk, I gave him one. His mom complained to my manager and said I was grooming her child. FML

So, will everyone pose as a Russian to prove a point about OP's comprehension? Sheesh, is it even safe to state that it's possible that people understand things differently? "Even" in America throughout the different coasts (i.e. west, east, south, & north) there are different dialects, intonation, catchphrases, etc., which could portray a different tone/meaning of a variety of things said & done. Shit, what I'm saying is not all things said will be understood the same just because a few people are from the same ******* country. A country! Yea... I think that's what I'm saying.

In all fairness, by the way you write makes it seem like you have a pretty good grasp on the english language. IMO, you should at least have the common sense to figure out what that meant. Just sayin'

#124 thats not true, you are obviously ignorant when it comes to languages and cultures (i dont mean this as an insult). i am learning german (Ich lerne Deutsch) and i gotta say im pretty damn good at it so far but just because im good at the language doesnt mean that i would know their customs or their culture. for example, if it wasnt for Inglourious Basterds i wouldnt know that in Germany they use their thumb when they signal the number three. you could say "you are pretty good a speaking German, you should know that that's how they show the #3 or that they don't switch hands after cutting up a steak" my point being, just because he has a good grasp of the language doesnt mean he should know our culture or our customs.
