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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. 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 discussing my family heritage with my girlfriend's parents. The moment I told them that I came from a German background, her seven-year-old brother pointed at me and yelled, "HITLER!" 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 somehow mistook the Star of David for a Pentagram. My Jewish friends were not amused. 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
Today, I watched my mother tell a man that the holocaust was "a good thing" and "necessary for population control". That man was my girlfriend's father. Who is Jewish. FML
Today, I was sitting in class when I overheard a group talking about how much they don't like me. When they saw me there, they burst out laughing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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?

Yet she's a grammar nazi...

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.

19 you're a bit dense aren't you

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.
fuzz97 23
are you sure you read the story
Obey_StudBoii 23
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???
SomeRandomGuy15 18
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"

She must live under a rock.

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.

Not funny. At all.

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.
