Today, my family and I were at a restaurant. We're Swedish and love talking about people in our language because no one ever understands here. I decided to comment about how ugly the girl at the next table was. She turned around and goes "Dra åt helvete." That's Swedish for "Go to hell." FML

Today, I came home to visit my family after a year at college. Expecting to impress them, I proudly informed them that I now speak fluent Swedish. Imagine my surprise when my mother said, "That's a useless language" and everyone agreed. FML

Today, while at a restaurant, my three year old daughter pointed at an African-American girl and yelled out “She’s ugly because she’s black!” Me and my wife got dirty looks for the entire rest of our meal. We have no idea where she learned that. FML

Today, I went out to eat at a restaurant. When the waitress saw me, she continously told me how beautiful and kind I was. Flattered, I just said thank you. Five minutes later, one of the ugliest girls I've ever seen in my life walked in. The waitress told her the same exact things she told me. FML

Today, my boss at my new job asked whether I was fitting in OK. The company is Swedish, so as a joke, I said that at home I now serve all my food as a smorgasbord, chew on fermented herring and Daim chocolate bars, and buy all my furniture at Ikea. She didn't see the funny side. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with a girl I really liked. She started crying when an overweight family walked in and loudly sobbed about how the parents were "murdering" their children. This made the father of that family try to fight me. FML

Today, my sister and I saw a guy with a terrible nose job coming up the bus. She said to me, "Look how ugly that guy is" in our native tongue. The man sat down right in front of us, took his phone out, and started talking our language. FML

Quality family time

Today, my family and I were visiting an aunt. While helping my aunt to set the table, my sister remarked that from behind I look exactly like her. I reflexively blurted out, "Well fuck you too." Very awkward silence. FML

Today, I was in a restaurant with my fiancée for dinner. I commented that she had some food around her mouth. She responded with a lecture, then by throwing her hot bowl of noodles at me, before stomping out the restaurant. 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 went to a family dinner. While waiting to be seated, a guy walked by and I looked to see if he was hot. Then my grandma yelled, "Get your eyeballs back in your head and quit staring at boys!" The whole restaurant heard her. Including the guy. And yes, he was hot. FML

I did that before when someone thought they were being clever talking mess about me in Spanish. It's a good way to knock someone down a peg.

It's one thing to vent about someone when you need to, but not everyone talks shit about people behind their backs like people are implying. If you have something to say, don't be a coward and just say it so they can understand it... Or maybe you should stop being so shallow and don't judge people based on what they look like.

Hmm, my family is Japanese, and we like talking TO each other in Japanese, because it keeps conversations more private. But we don't talk ABOUT people... Especially if they're right THERE. No matter what, because you never know if for some reason they understand. 8-) It reminds me of when I was at some theme park, and some lady in line behind me was getting way to close to me, so I said something to my cousin about it in Japanese, and the lady ended up being Japanese.

That's precisely WHY I hate when people speak anything other than English in my country. If you don't have the balls to say it in front of me, in English, then you shouldn't be saying it at all. I think you completely deserved the reaction you got. I personally would have treated you much worse.

I know exactly how the "ugly" girl feels. I get people who are very impatient (I work in a pharmacy) and they start bitching and insulting in Hindi, and they don't know I can understand until I say "Just 5 more minutes! ^_^" in Hindi. I loathe people like you. You think you're the only ones that speak that language?
