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?

I concur.

I disagree! I know Germany is a great country. I would love to go back and visit. (Ohio)

Oh great. Another reason for people use the "clever" and "funny" Murica joke. Not all Americans are idiots but the ones who are make it pretty easy to spot them...

As an American, I'd like to say that we are not all as rude as that asshole, and I'm sorry that he had the audacity to speak to you like that.

Das tut mir Leid. Ich schreie für mein Land.

Some people are just rude. I've been to Germany and really enjoyed it. People should learn a bit of the language before they visit another country.

We aren't all like that, I swear. D8 I used to live in Germany and it's amazing!

He never said the guy was an American. There are assholes all over the globe. Regardless, he seems to be incredibly stupid in addition to being rude. He finally finds someone that speaks English and then he insults him before he can be helped.

But OP's username is "thank u usa". I'm guessing that the guy eventually told OP (or gave some other indication) that he was from the US.

I think if people travel, they should know the languages of the country they are traveling to.

In that case tourism income would fall phenomenally. Whether they like you or not, a country will be perfectly happy to take your money and send you on your way.

If you plan to visit a lot of countries, it would be nearly impossible to be very fluent in the languages of every country you will visit. But you should know at least some basic words and phrases to help you get around.

Sounds like someone didn't eat their cheerios today....
