Today, a baby shat on my foot in the crowded subway on the way to work. Its mother didn't care in the slightest about my predicament, because she was holding the baby so it could relieve itself. ON ME. FMCL

Today, I found some steel wire in my lunch at a Chinese restaurant. I called the waitress over and asked that something be done. I was hoping for a refund on the dish. Instead she picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked out the steel wire. FMCL.

Today, I gave a presentation to a potential client. After the business meeting, the head client asked my boss where he could get a secretary who spoke such good English. I am an American-born Chinese woman. FMCL.

Today, I had to transfer at People's Square metro station. Apparently, metro stations should also be considered toilets because a mother decided to help her child pee in the middle of a corridor. Nobody was shocked or even a little bit bothered by this. FMCL

Last year, the plumber had to come when my friend was visiting. Even though I spent 10 minutes explaining the problem in fluent Mandarin, he didn't look at me once and only spoke to my friend, who was standing right next to me with his mouth closed. I'm white and my friend is Chinese-American. FMCL

Today, I brought in Arab sweets from my trip to Jordan. The women in the office complained that they were far too sweet and that "only foreigners would eat this stuff" all while shoving desserts into their mouths with much enthusiasm. FMCL.

Last night, we found an abandoned toilet across the street from an apartment building. We bought a ton of fireworks and tried to blow it up. FMCL? No, can't do that in America, buddies.

Last year, since I'm Chinese-American, I was talking to my Chinese co-worker in English on a flight within China. Suddenly, the young Beijing woman next to us began yelling obscenities at us. Turns out, she was upset that we were "showing off" and being "un-Chinese" by speaking English. FMCL

Recently, I put some trashbags outside the door as I was cleaning. The next day my landlord called and told me that no one did that and that it was unhygenic. But every fucking person in the building does that, and some leave the trash out for a couple of days. FMCL

Today, on the ride to work, my cab's side mirror was hit by another car, so my driver stopped in the middle of the road to yell at the other driver. While we were stopped, a car behind us didn't brake in time and crashed into the back bumper. I was still seated in the back. FMCL

Today, I came out of a restaurant right on time to find a Chinese guy trying to steal my bike. He panicked, shoving the wrong key into my bike lock and breaking the lock. I managed to kick him in the arse before he ran away. FMCL

Today, I was looking for some crazy porn, and then I clicked a link and I couldn't get to it. It was five-starred too, and had over 500k views. FMCL
