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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

I did nazi that coming.

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

Jew should have known.

I don't understand why she is so bothered with the term. Yes, she's is Jewish, but she obviously doesn't understand how to take a bit of humor..

Someone in her family could have been killed by Nazis or something similar, so her family could be touchy about it. Pus it is a bit sick to turn people who tortured and murdered thousands of people into humour, to be honest!
helloimclaudia 30
People nowadays turn everything into humor. And yes, someone could've been killed in her family, but someone in my family was killed to. I'm not Jewish though, but Dutch, and a lot of Dutch people were killed to. And trust me, my family isn't really 'touchy' on the subject. We always have been very open about WW2.

I'm Jewish, and so are a few of my friends, and that doesn't offend us at all. So I honestly don't know what's up with her, maybe she has a stick up her ass

The question really is, What kind of stick?

Nazi's are heartless, cruel monsters that terrorised and murdered millions of people. Why people seem to think its alright to demote that tragedy into a joke is beyond me.

Well,it happened a long time ago.
PrincessPesa 20
Oh my god. It happened a long time ago? So did the civil war. It's been almost 150 years and there are still many people who bear confederate flags and want to secede from the north. There are also neo-nazis proudly bearing swastikas- and the holocaust happened less than a century ago. My grandparents are survivors and are still alive today. Think before you speak. Also, don't ******* tell people what to do. I've probably been on the Internet for longer than you have, and as a result I know about the sick shit going on in the world. Humor is no excuse for ignorance.
Zomg_Okay 27
For someone who claims to have been on the Internet a while, you have a really thin skin. Are you sure you're not the girl in the OP?

Pms trip for 86!!!!

Humor is no excuse for ignorance, I agree, but a lot of the time, it helps people to deal with things.

I'm not talking about this comment on its own if you go through she's all over the place having a moment.........if she really got that seriously offended princess-what's her face should have moved on and not even bothered commenting (in which I bet she's seeing red cause everyone saying relax its an oops)

#86 I see where you're coming from, but comparing the Confederacy to the nazis is a very loose metaphor. Nobody here is stating that the nazis were great people, but the term "grammar nazi" is one that is well engrained in the Internet community. I mean no disrespect to you nor your family and extended community. However if you wish to enjoy your time on the Internet it would be best to not start flaming on Internet euphamisms. Just my $0.02

It's over, move on.

Don't worry, you can redeem yourself next week. Tell her that you hope the Grammar Angel of Death passes over her house as she goes to her seder. That'll fix it!

There are probably less confrontational and more productive ways to go about this.... that isn't a great idea.

#49, I'm sorry you feel that way. I was working on a Grammar "Enthusiasts'" Ten Plagues. You don't think I should suggest: 1. Your/you're 2. To/too/two 3. Loser/looser 4. Literally 5. Should of 6. OMG, LOL 7. poor capitalization 8. u, ur 9. ... 10. *lowers sunglasses* OK. I'll just keep them to myself.

#56 - you left out that non-word abomination "irregardless"

#177, good one! I also had to leave off when people use "aggravated" to mean "irritated." There are just so many!

Can't she take a joke? He wasn't trying to offend her and she should've realized he couldn't possibly have known she was Jewish.

I'm also Jewish (well, I was raised Jewish but no longer practice) and don't mind terribly if someone says "Grammar Nazi"; however, I much prefer "Grammar Snob" or "Grammar Cop". Perhaps, for a number of reasons, it's a sensitive subject for the girl.

Irrelevant on her part.. Just take the damn joke. Lol.

I'm Jewish and I'm a Grammar Nazi...

Oh goooood for you.

#92, you are really starting to annoy me..
stargirl_95 24
#111 - she started annoying everyone a long time ago
sonnyrosa 32
Jeez... tell her to pipe the **** down and develop a sense of humor...
PrincessPesa 20
So she shouldn't tell people she's Jewish? I didn't know it was 1939.
helloimclaudia 30
#93, start reading, that's not what she said..
