    I was in the UK, watching a football game between my country and England in a pub with an English friend. I had a team shirt on. It was a good game, a close game, in the last few minutes we lost and England won.

    I Shake some hands and go to the bathroom. I have to shit, go to a stall, and just as I’m about to close someone pushes the door open, forcing themselves in. Life is flashing before My eyes, my entire body shakes from all the adrenaline now pumping, I’m ready to fight or die trying.

    He says (drunk off his mind) “YOU STOOD UP DURING YOUR ANTHEM! I RESPECT THAT! GOOD GAME!! GOOD GAME!!” as he reaches to shake my hand and pat my arm, “yeah man good game, sorry but I need to shit mate”

    I thought I was about to die, stabbed and beat to death in a toilet. When it was just a drink Britt trying to be nice.

    I’ve never been so happy that my country lost a game as that night (Mt shirt also bought me a lot of beers, felt like I needed them after thinking I was about to die)

      I was having to explain to a foreign friend that people here are just friendly and they’re not being malicious behind it, even when drunk.

        Football violence is very real though. Let’s not forget that and make sure we are in good safe areas when out.

        I’m sure my friend took me to a place that he knews had good people in it knowing I’d wear my country’s shirt.

    As I’m finishing 3 Japanese guys come in talking and laughing.

    How it should be read:

    As I’m finishing –– 3 Japanese guys come in talking and laughing.

    What I first read:

    As I’m finishing 3 Japanese guys come –– in talking and laughing.

    What I then read:

    As I’m finishing 3 Japanese guys –– come in talking and laughing.

    Then:

    As I’m finishing 3 Japanese –– guys come in talking and laughing.

    Took me a while. I’m obviously tired and should sleep. Good night, internet people!

    That was one of the least funniest 4chan posts I have seen posted here. What’s the punchline? What’s the joke? Was the joke him using random Japanese related words to insult the people? To me It’s just OP saying he is big and intimidating.

        You know, I’ll give you that. I always forget about shitposts outside of shitpost specific community. Then again, 4chan can be considered the originator of shitposts, so that’s on me for not recognizing that.

      “Wait, the joke of this green text is just racist posturing?”

      Yes, this community sucks and no one on 4chan deserves breeding rights.
