Anyone Else Had This
 

Got home from work last night to find "Go back to your own country" scrawled on my front door !!

Feckwit didn't even have the balls to sign it :mad:

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Call the police before you clean it off, if you haven't already.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Jesus, I can't believe that!!! thats unreal! I feel for you, I'd be fuming!!! :(

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Ray'll fix 'em for you.

Idiots.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Maybe they weren't a Yank? The fact that it was spelt correctly makes me very suspicious...

In a litttle bit of an acid mood this morning are we?

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Photograph the graffitti too if you haven't already done so...

Alright, remind me never to go to Florida....and yes I'd be looking Ray up. So what happened, did you call the police?

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

This kind of behavior happens everywhere, not just in the US but in every country. I speak from personal experience plus I have friends who've had this and worse too...

Does this mean you'll never travel away from home ever again? :)

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Lets see, I lived in the UK for a few years and felt and experienced open hostility towards Americans....most of the time people never got to know who I was before they were assuming I was "another ignorant American" So I have experienced this....thankfully no one ever wrote anything on my door, but I know the "experience" I kind of find it hard to believe over here, probably because Brits are not seen in a negative manner as Americans are elsewhere.... And I do agree ignorance breeds everywhere, some places worse than others.

As far as travelling, it won't stop me and it never has, what about you?
:)

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Florida is full of immigrants so I'm surprised this happened. It's probably someone you have pissed off over something and that's the only way they can get back at you.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

That's kind of what I thought as well. Its like children calling each other names....they'll pick up that you're wearing glasses or something different about you. In the long run aren't adults just big bratty kids anyway? Morons!

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

I don't know anyone in the apartment complex, keep myself to myself, and I'm hardly ever there anyway

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

What's worse is it's probably someone he knows. British people don't look foreign in the US, so they would of probably spoken to him at some point.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

You certainly live up to your custom usertitle, don't you? :D Your post I responded to came across as naive, that's all.

I was referring to hostility in general between citizens/neighbors around the world. e.g. hostility between races, genders, religions, etc.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Does you aparment complex have a large foreign community living there? It could just be a random attack.

Hope you find him, we'll administer justice the old British way, hung, drawn and quartered in front of a large crowd. There's no justice like angry mob justice.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

I've never suffered any abuse like that, and I'm sorry to hear that you have. All I can say is that the person who did it must be one very sad pathetic individual with no outlook or prospect in life. Small and narrow minded springs to mind, and probably with an equally small and narrow penis to boot.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Heck, nobody is really a 'native'...they all came from somewhere else :rolleyes: Sorry to hear of this random act of stoopidity.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

It's could be kids thinking it's funny. Have you got any in your building ?
My wife had a bit of 'set to' with a couple of 11/12 years olds in our apartments who were playing 'knock down ginger on our door' Unfortunately I wasn't there.
My wife, who's generally as quiet as a church mouse and wouldn't harm a fly, spoke to the mother who is the apartment manager, and as they walked away one of them said "Bitch, should be evicted"
A couple of days later 'Bitch' had been scratched on the bonnet of our car and 2 water-filled condoms tossed onto our balcony.
The mother has agreed to pay for the repairs with the help of a bit of persuasion regarding her job, her employers and the fact that her son is running riot.
I'm still waiting for her to get the kids to come and take the condoms away.
She has until tomorrow before I call the Police.
Talking to a neighbour it turns out that the main trouble maker had been kicked out of school and is on his way to one of those kids camps (junior prison thing)
He better not come near us in the interim period.
Forgot to mention, these are white kids, so nothing racial.
Can't do what I'd like to do and give the little shit a good kicking !

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Actually I feel that was pretty rude NC....and a bit catty. Anyway, naive? No, I don't think so, as you may know, perhaps not....different states have different attitudes to different things. I actually like living in Washington, or my little part of it, its a bit more liberal than perhaps Tampa, Florida. Certainly more so than probably Alabama, Texas or even maybe South Dakota. :D

Hmmm and yes I think I referred to ignorance worldwide as well.... ;)

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Don't worry Tome .....its a plague going around ..I just got home and scrawled on my Door is "GO HOME NON SMOKERS" and the wife has locked herself in a room ...I don't understand any of it ...

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Lisa ..What are talking about .... nobody lives in SD...

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

I'm just glad I live a couple of thousand miles away at the moment.

The Wrath of God on nicotine withdrawal is not a pretty sight, I'm sure.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

sigh...you're right....how silly of me. ;) :D

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

I could always write "Romanes eunt domus" on the rest of the walls and see if anyone gets the joke.



edited to add: They won't.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Er no, they won't. You could always write it on FatBrit's door, but he's in Arizona so not very practical.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

How dyou work that one out then limey? Rather a narrow definition of British appearance don't you think?

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

There's no room, I'm afraid. Already has Futue te et ipsum caballum scrawled in red paint across the whole area.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Oh god do I really have to google that? I haven't done Latin since I was 16.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Oh OK. Google is my friend. Next time I'd buy a plane ticket though. Much faster than a horse.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

A nice Arizona translation might be: **** you and the horse you rode in on.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Well the Google people must be from Arizona then.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

No, nearly 93% of British are white. So 9 times out of 10 I should be right in guessing a person's skin colour if they say they are British, statistically speaking of course.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

L.M.A.O.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

That says it all for me and even the ignorant twats might understand it as well.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Its kids - I'd bet money on it.

Even if it aint - dont let it bother you. It just seems worse 'cos you're in a foreign country. Its just one person trying to make you feel uncomfortable and psyche you because they know it'll unsettle you a little. you've probably offended some small minded ape unknowingly - (parked your car in his place? Shat thru his letter box maybe? dunno....)

Just bear in mind that its only ONE person. Not the USA as a whole.

Bling!Bling! Ayyyyyy!

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Nope, try again. You said:

That would be incorrect.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

Yes, you can tell us by our yellow, crooked teeth, right? ;)

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

That's right, I said British people don't look foreign in the US, meaning that if you don't hear us talk you would probably think we're just white "Americans".

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.

Re: Anyone Else Had This
 

My fiancee had some interesting comments on this one: she had to get over some real prejudice against the British when we started dating. Apparently (in her school at least) the school system taught them to hate the British and what they had done throughout history, perhaps there are less forgiving people in your area?
