Subject: Some British guy yelled at me :(

I was playing with some friends and some British guy talked. I asked him if he was British and he yelled at me :( he hurt my feelings. Why are some people so mean?

Wait, you just asked if he was British?

Either this guy is touchy or there's something you're not telling us. Or he just grew up with a funny accent like me (except i'm vice versa, British with American Accent =P).

I just think people don't like others pointing out the obvious.

im from the UK the guy was most likely pissed because he was either Welsh, Northern Irish, English, or Scottish, there is no British accent, some ppl don't like being referred to as British like Canadians being called American, I'm Northern Irish and I hate ppl saying I'm British or English; it's a cultural thing.

im from england big wup! i also have a can of awsome sauce you want some? you cant coz it requires an awsome can opener which haznt bin invented yet!

i think hes just use to:
US guy-are you brittish
UK guy-yes
US guy-can you say water bottle?

and the typical arguement goes on where the brittish guy tries to reason on how its stupid and the american being stupidly disruptive so you cant get a word in.

BUT i have a little story on this one, i have american friends so i join there party chat that i knew everyone except one guy, he decides to take the piss out of my accent with the typical "tea and crumpits" thing,
i reply:
"you see our friends laughing? no, so why the hell are you trying to be little me infront of our friends trying to act tough? they dont find it funny and you just shown how insecure you are."
he left the chat.

Calm down kid, idc what you think about my life based on a post over the internet, i also dont care if I hurt your feelings. I did not make my country look stupid, it is the people who get mad when you ask if they are british that make your country look stupid. if they are going to freak out over a question like that then there is obviously somehting wrong with them. Overall UK kids are fine, but its kids like you that E-thug kids online because they think that one post can show you how someone really is, and the only virgin here is you sorry, now go back to sipping your tea and enjoy your rotting yellow teeth you random UK trash

Man, I miss dem Halo 3 days :'(

Lol, I'm English, I had a great argument with an American yestreday who thought that the USA had won the world cup twice and that they "Owned Us" in the last world cup. He was very proud of that draw.

It was all good fun. He didn't know anything about football.

Video games are my favourite video games.

I'm no Brit and so I sadly lack any sort of awesome accent, but I am indeed a lady. Every time I enter a party/game consisting of friend-of-friend types and speak, I am BOMBARDED with people going, "ARE YOU A GIRL?!" Much of the time (particularly when playing with randoms), I'm treated to a wonderful slew of comments regarding my gender.

It's similar for a lot of people who have any sort of accent on Xbox Live. You might ask honestly and without any intention to offend the person, but the problem is they're so used to hearing that question (and the stupid comments that oftentimes come with it) that they immediately go on the offensive. He most likely wasn't trying to be a wanker, but it's what Xbox Live does to folks.

Most UK players get mad being asked if they are British because most American players laugh at their accent. So if you encounter an UK guy, try not to ask.
