Today, there was a new girl in one of my classes. We both corrected a classmate on his grammar, so, trying to make a new friend, I leaned back to her and said, "Haha, fellow Grammar Nazi?" She gave me a disgusted look and told me she was Jewish. FML

Then she obviously has no sense of humour. There's no better revenge than taking a derogatory term and turning it around.

what Nazis did to the Jewish people is like a slight pinch when we consider that more people in the world die per month from starvation, fever, cold or car/bike accidents.. Statistically, we need to be more scared of "our own people"..

So I guess she didn't enjoy the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" episode either, huh...

Well doesn't she look like a barrel of laugh...

Just one laugh? Do you really need a barrel to hold it?

There is a huge difference between a grammar nazi and a NAZI..

Refering to anyone affected by the Nazis in any way as a Nazi in any form is usually considered offensive. Jews, Holocaust survivors (and their family), and most Germans don't take kindly to it at all, even as a joke.

Lmfao. Epic fail, next time don't try so hard to show off. Just because you both corrected another student does not mean she likes you.

I will say i was wrong due to the fact i thought OP was a man. Either way it can be taken in a sense where "she doesn't like you" as in friendship or something more.

Obey_StudBoii 23

Where did you come up with that assumption???

21- OP was just trying to be friendly... Are you saying no one should ever try to make new friends?

I highly doubt she's never heard the phrase "Grammar Nazi"

Jews often do to get away from all the persecution

I guess you exterminated that chance of friendship, hope it wasn't your final solution.

YDI for being a know it all. Glad you ended up feeling as stupid as the person you were showing up in class.

I agree, FHL for ruining a funny moment, I hate people who take offense in a light hearted moment.
