Today, I came across a tourist in the street asking people for directions, but nobody understood him. I speak English, so I went to help the gentleman out. He said "Knock it off with the cheesy accent, pal" and informed me that my country is a shithole. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I started a new school, after moving from England to New York. People only talked to me just to hear my accent. FML
Today, a kid from my school called me, saying he's going on vacation to Japan soon and that since I was born there, I could teach him the language. His exact words at the start of the call were, "Hey man, you speak Asian, right?" I have to be around this shithead 5 days a week. FML
Today, I was serving a family at the restaurant where I work. When I went to ask the little girl what she wanted, I was tongue-tied and got "cutie" and "hun" mixed up and ended up asking, "What can I get for you, cuntie?" FML
Today, and for the past 13 months, I've been living in the States. I've been called a Nazi, asked if we have electricity in Germany, and been made fun of the way I speak with my "German accent", the list goes on. I'm not even German, I'm Danish. FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML
Today, while going on a jog through the countryside, I discovered that it is actually possible outside of crappy TV shows to have a rifle leveled at you, and to be shouted at to, "Get off my land." FML
Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw someone pulled over on the side of the road. Wanting to help, I pulled over. In so doing, I ran over something that popped my tire. The guy had just pulled over to pee. FML
Today, I witnessed a car accident. Being an experienced paramedic, I rushed to the scene to see if anyone needed help. As I assessed the people involved, one of them pickpocketed me. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

On behalf of the USA, I apologize. Not all of us are impolite morons.

It doesn't say hes American. USA isn't the only country that speaks English. On behalf of all Americans id like to apologize for YOUR assumptions due to your lack of reading skills.

The rudeness and saying 'pal' make it obvious he was American. Plus the OPs name... Prove me wrong

Well 'pal' is also used in England, and Scotland, and Ireland, and probably other English speaking countries too.

I'm also pretty sure all those English speaking countries have accents that we don't.

Sorry #93. A typo caused my post to relocate here instead of my intended recipient.

I would pay to see that: "German citizen verbally abuses ignorant visiting American"

As an American, I would like to apologize for him. I promise we aren't all this way

I swear we are not all like that! I was raised with manners here in the US but unfortunately there are a lot of rude people here as well. Sorry you came across such an awful person.

Entschuldigung fur die idioten. Did I get that right? I'm barely beginning to learn. Assholes are everywhere and refuse to stay home so the rest of us can live in peace. Don't let that ruin your opinion of all of us, OP.
bardo264 17
Almost correct. It's spelled: Entschuldigung für den Idioten. But for someone just starting to learn the language, that was amazing. Keep going!
TwistedCherub1 15
Thanks. I'll admit I asked my friend the word for "idiot". That's not exactly in the lessons on conversational German.

"Arschgeige" is always a welcome term if you need some variety from "Idiot"

This is why everyone hates the USA.
TheCowCollector 2
Only overly generalizing people hate Americans based on stereotypes.
mbuck87 19
No, we all hate the USA. Your foreign policy and spying efforts have not helped.
TheCowCollector 2
Mine? I have zero spying effort

I've worked with americans for 4 years and none of them were like that. They are usually great people.

83, I'm not sure about spying on other countries but they tap our phone lines and spy on us too. Not all of us mind everyone else's business or are rude but some of the American's have nothing better to do.

I've been to both countries multiple times, and I have to say that Germany is a lot nicer than the U.S.A.
