Anyway, here's what happened to me 8 years ago.
I went on a holiday to Prague with my classmates, to celebrate end of high-school. We stopped in Vienna, at Prater park. My friend and I were hungry, so decided to grab a snack from a fast food stand. We ordered some hot-dogs, and then I went to my other friends who were asking me for some advice on what alchohol/ciggars we should buy. Before that, I went back to the stand and told to my friend at the fast-food stand :"You stay here, and keep an eye on this old idiot (who was working at the fast food stand) not to mess up something with the hot-dogs". Few minutes later, I returned. The "old idiot" looks at me and says in my native language:"Well, boys, are you from Croatia? Me too." My only tought in that moment was "Earth, please do open beneath my feet." I never felt so ashamed in my life.

Nice story, Kerkes!

It reminds me of a somewhat similar case I had long ago.

When I was 12 years old, I went with my family to visit a friend of my father. He had a gallery full of old pics. He explianed to us that the photos and paintings in the gallery belonged to historical important people who lived during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Few of them even belonged to 18th century.

One of the pics looked very ridiculous and funny to me (remember that I was only 12). Our host looked at me and said in a kind tone: "If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask, my dear son!"

I said: "Who is this ridiculous man?" and pointed my finger towards the pic.

Our host replied: "He is my father; it's the only family picture I keep in this gallery."
