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 humbly apologize on behalf of my country. Not everyone from the USA is an entitled dickface.

I would love to visit or live in Germany, whether I learn the language before or afterwards, I would love to see it. I'm sorry that an American treated you so harshly, they just can't appreciate someone trying to help. **** them!

How do you know it was an American? I mean granted, American tourists can be dreadful to deal with, but so are all country's tourists...

I would like to apologize for my fellow American. We are not all ignorant, obese, stubborn assholes.

Are you sure he wasn't Canadian?? Lol I can only hope ignorant dickbags like that are from someone else's country! That sucks. I've had that experience too. Sorry that happened to you.

I have never met a Canadian who was socially inappropriate in a manner that wasn't passive aggressive. Outright rudeness might happen during sporting events, but outside of that my Canadian classmates were more polite than my Korean ones. All were very polite, but the Koreans were polite by default and returned rudeness in kind, the Canadians seemed to get aggressively nicer in the face of dickishness.

I am really tired of Americans acting like asses in other countries. Lots of them seriously need to pull their heads out of their asses. As an American, I apologize for these assholes.

I'm just as tired of Americans acting like asses, IN AMERICA, to be quite honest. Everyone just stop braying already.

What's funny is that although op never said the guy is American, all Americans just know he had to be one of our assholes. There should be an IQ test required before you leave the country so that we don't let anymore idiots out of the US. It's bad enough that our politicians have to go and ruin things. Let's not make matters worse.

On behalf of my country, I apologize. And I speak for the entire country when I say: Feel free to kill him.
