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

Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML

Today, I finally found out why my new co-worker has been shooting me dirty looks, being rude to me, and generally trying to avoid me. It's because I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and she thinks people like me are Nazis. FML

Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Today, I was hitting on a girl who was getting ready to walk into the same class as me. We were waiting outside the room, so I told her that I'd heard the professor for the course was a total bitch. We walked into the room. I sat down at a desk. She stood behind the podium. FML

Today, I contacted my landlady to tell her that I approved of the girl she recommended for a sublet. She then told me she thinks this girl is a neo-Nazi. Why? The e-mails she sent to the girl were rejected as spam. Apparently, this and being German qualifies you to be a neo-Nazi. FML

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

That happened a long time ago. I live in Germany and most Germans are horrified with what happened. So, if she has no sense of humor, that's not your fault... honestly.

@#205 "If she doens't have a sense of humor over a common term, doesn't sound like someone you'd want to bother being friends with." The point is, it's offensive, and should NOT be a "common term". "Bother being friends with" What the ****? Do you think friendship is something to "bother" with? Sounds like you've got no friends, there, son! The reason the term "Grammar Nazi" is offensive is because: 1. Genocide=/= Correcting someones grammar 2. I'm pretty sure a person who has correct grammar isn't going to kill countless millions of people just because they have bad grammar.
